    This document contains calculations of frictional pressure losses for power-law fluids flowing through coil tubing. It provides fluid properties including a density of 8.6 lb/gal and power-law indices of 0.669 and 0.19420 lbf sec^n/100ft^2. Geometry details and flow rate of 100 gpm are given. Calculations determine the flow regime is turbulent in both straight and curved tubing sections. Total calculated pressure loss across the 10,000 ft string is 1304.8 psi.
