Local pressure loss coefficient during the flow of slurry ice trough sudden pipe expansions

The paper presents the results of experimental studies on ice slurry flow resistance in sudden pipe expansions. In the experimental studies, the mass fraction of solid particles in the slurry ranged from 5 to 30%. The pressure loss coefficients identified as a result of the experimental studies of the turbulent flow of the ice slurry are the same as the coefficients calculated for Newtonian liquids
