A simple and popular model for two nonnewtonian fluids in Fig. 1.8a is the power-law:
where C and n arc constants fit to the fluid [16]. From Fig. 1.8a, deduee the values of the exponent n for which the fluid is (a) newtonian, (b) dilatant, and (c) pseudoplas-tic. Consider the specific model constant C = 0.4 N · sn/m3, with the fluid being sheared between two parallel plates as in Fig. 1.7. If the shear stress in the fluid is 1200 Pa, find the velocity V of the upper plate for the eases (d) n = 1.0, (e) n = 1.2, and (f) n = 0.8.

- Consider steady viscous flow through a small horizontal tube. For this type of flow, the pressure gradient along the tube, Δp ⁄ ΔL should be a function of the viscosity Y, the mean velocity V, and the diameter D.
