Expressions to calculate the kinetic energy of Herschel‐Bulkley fluids flowing in circular tubes are presented. The influence of yield stress, consistency coefficient and flow behavior index are investigated. An equation ‐ based on theoretical considerations ‐ for determining kinetic energy from a kinetic energy correction factor is developed. Solutions are given in a graphical format to facilitate kinetic energy calculations.
