Descrição
A argila bentonítica é amplamente utilizada em transporte de sólidos produzidos durante perfuração de poços. Teve por objetivo estudar o escoamento de misturas bentonita-água e determinar suas propriedades reológicas e parâmetros hidráulicos úteis nos projetos de instalações de recalque de misturas sólido-líquido. Foi montado um circuito fechado de tubulações para estudar dados de perda de carga e perfis de velocidade. Realizaram-se ensaios com misturas bentonita-água sob varias concentrações, algumas transportando areia. Observaram-se que a reologia da mistura bentonita-água é melhor descrita pela formulação de Herschell-Bulkley para fluidos não-Newtonianos. O coeficiente de atrito para descrever a perda de carga da mistura bentonita-água observada em tubulações no laboratório coloca-se entre as previsões de Tomita (1959) e Szilas et al (1981). A variação da velocidade da mistura na seção transversal do tubo é melhor aproximada pela equação de Bogue-Metzner (1963).
The bentonite clay is extensively used in transport of solids produced during in water well drilling. This research is aimed at studying the flow of bentonite clay-water mixture through the determination of its rheological properties and its hydraulic parameters useful in the design of pumping installations. A closed pipeline circuit was set up in the laboratory to observe head-loss and velocity profiles. Flow experiments were conducted with bentonite-water mixtures at various concentrations, some transporting sand. It was observed that the rheology of bentonite-water mixture is described well by the Herschell-Bulkley formulation for non-Newtonian fluids. Friction factors for describing the head-loss of the mixtures observed experimentally in the pipelines lie between the prediction of Tomita (1959) and Szilas el al. (1981). The variation of mixture velocity in the cross-section of the pipes is aproximated closely by the Bogue-Metzner (1963) model.
