Goal(s)
Learning outcomes :
- To know and understand the consequences of the non-Newtonian nature of certain fluids on the sizing of a circuit or the optimization of operating conditions.
- To understand non-Newtonian fluid flows in laminar and turbulent regimes (rheology, pressure drop, velocity profiles)
- To know how to characterize a valve (the different types of valves, pressure drop coefficient and flow coefficient, fields of use, case of liquids and steam, noise in the valves)
- To know how to choose a valve to ensure flow control (know how to choose them according to fluids and flow conditions)
- To understand the balance of a hydraulic circuit to optimize a hydraulic circuit or operating conditions
- To know the particularities of the behaviour of flowing fibrous suspensions, biological sewage sludge, coating dispersions and inks.

Content(s)
To understand the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in terms piping design or operating conditions.
To be able to select a valve (for a compressible or incompressible fluid).
A. Laminar and turbulent flows of non-Newtonian fluids
- Rheological behaviour of incompressible fluids
- Velocity profiles
- Noise in a valve
B. Valves
- Types of valves
- Head loss coefficient and flow coefficient
- Flow of incompressible and compressible fluids in a valve
- Noise in a valve.
C. Pipe networks.
D. Examples: fibre suspensions, biological sludges, coating suspensions, inks.
PrerequisitesIntroduction to fluid mechanics
Introduction to rheology (recommended)
Written exam + exercices or homework
Catch-up modalities (catch-up session): supervised written assignment under the same conditions as in a normal session.
Devoir surveillé écrit (N1/14pts) et exercices ou devoir à la maison (N2/6pts) :
N = N1 + N2.
En cas d'enseignement à distance et selon les conditions sanitaires, le devoir surveillé sera remplacé par un devoir à la maison (note N1).
