Modified Reynolds number and Morton's number involving flow consistency index (k) and flow behavior index (n), along with other variables were used for the development of unified correlations to represent the available data. date: 2007 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-34250855058&partnerID=40&md5=ad9ef48cca847ec4bf279123dd107177 full_text_status: none publication: Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly volume: 21 number: 2 pagerange: 121-129 refereed: TRUE issn: 03529568 citation: Babu, P.E.J. and Arunagiri, A. and Reghupathic, I. and Murugesan, T.
