Drag Coefficient of a Capsule Inside a Vertical Angular Pipe
The purpose of the paper is to estimate the capsule drag coefficient of a capsule pipeline. The drag coefficient of a square capsule is established in terms of a characteristic number, the Yanaida correlation, from the same analytical method as for a cylindrical capsule in the laminar flow boundary layer theory. The angular capsule pipeline is recommended for transportation in many fields.
