This relates impeller thrust to impeller parameters and density:

(3.13)

It is primarily used to determine impeller thrust for mechanical purposes. It also is used to predict cavern size for shear‐thinning fluids, as will be discussed in Chapter 12. Qualitatively, it is a constant in laminar and turbulent flow, but goes through a minimum in transition flow.
