Abstract
An equation of Rabinowitsch-Mooney type has been suggested for approximate calculation of pressure drop in flow of generalized Newtonian fluid through channels with insert both in the region of creeping flow and at higher values of the Reynolds number, and this calculation method has been verified for four types of insert using own numerical solution and experimental results as well as literature data.
