Note:
• The values of sy and η are taken from figures 19.2 and 19.3.
•The Bingham equations are valid for laminar flow only.

Lecture 7: Design of sludge pumping stations
The friction coefficient (ƒ ) is found from figure 19.6 after calculating (He)
and (R) from the following equations:
D2sy
Hedstrom number: He
2
DV
Reynolds number: R
He = Hedstrom number , dimensionless
Where, R = Reynolds number , dimensionless
