On this work is studied the flow of two drilling fluids in pipe and annular tube with the objective to evaluate rheological models that describe the fluid behavior, to characterize the flow regimes using the experimental method and compare with correlations found in literature, to evaluate equations of hydraulic diameter found in the literature, to evaluate correlations of friction factor in the turbulent regime and to propose new correlations for the friction factor in turbulent regime. The data are obtained in a pilot plant consisting of a system operating in closed circuit of 6 meters composed of horizontal tubes made of galvanized iron, arranged in three parallel lines of independent flows that allow the measurement of friction loss caused by a circular tube of 1" of diameter and by two ratios of concentric annular tubes (annulus formed by 2" and 3/4 "and 1 1/4" and 1/2"). The system consists of a tank with a capacity of 500 liters, with a mechanical stirrer, connected to a positive displacement pump of helical type with 25HP, operating with volumetric flow up to 20m3/h. The pilot plant is instrumented with a set of three transducers of pressure. The rheology of the fluid is evaluated with the aid of a FANN viscometer, model 35A. The rheological models used are the power law and Casson. The results show that the choice of equations of hydraulic diameter and friction factor are dependent on the geometry of flow and the rheological model used, showing that should be analyzed separately. The new correlations of friction factor for turbulent regime generate good results. / A necessidade de avan?os tecnol?gicos na opera??o de perfura??o de po?os de petr?leo tem incentivado a pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de fluidos de perfura??o, assim como o estudo do escoamento dos mesmos em geometrias distintas. Neste trabalho ? estudado o escoamento de dois fluidos de perfura??o em tubos e dutos anulares, com o objetivo de avaliar modelos reol?gicos que descrevam o comportamento do fluido, caracterizar os regimes de escoamento utilizando m?todo experimental e comparar com correla??es encontradas na literatura, avaliar equa??es de di?metro hidr?ulico encontradas na literatura, avaliar correla??es de fator de atrito no regime turbulento e propor novas correla??es para o fator de atrito no regime turbulento. Os dados s?o obtidos em uma unidade piloto constitu?da de um sistema operando em circuito fechado de 6 metros de extens?o horizontal composto de tubos de ferro galvanizado, dispostos em tr?s linhas paralelas de escoamento independentes que permitem a avalia??o da perda de carga ocasionada em um tubo circular de 1" de di?metro e em duas raz?es de anulares conc?ntricos (?nulo formado pelos tubos de 2" e 3/4", e 1 1/4" e ?"). O sistema ? composto de um tanque com capacidade de 500 litros, dotado de um agitador mec?nico, conectado a uma bomba de deslocamento positivo do tipo helicoidal de 25HP, operando com vaz?es de at? 20m3/h. A unidade piloto ? instrumentada com um conjunto de tr?s transdutores de press?o. A reologia do fluido ? avaliada com o aux?lio de um viscos?metro FANN, modelo 35A. Os modelos reol?gicos adotados s?o o da pot?ncia e Casson. Os resultados revelam que a escolha das equa??es de di?metro hidr?ulico e fator de atrito s?o dependentes da geometria do escoamento e do modelo reol?gico utilizado, devendo ser analisados separadamente. As novas correla??es de fator de atrito para o regime turbulento geram bons resultados.
