This document contains calculations for frictional pressure losses in coil tubing for a power-law fluid. It provides fluid properties, geometry of the coil tubing system, flow data, and calculations for the straight and curved tubing sections. The total string pressure loss is calculated to be 1304.8 psi. Rheological data for some typical fluids is also presented.
