A Multi-Mode Viscosity Model and Its Applicability to Non-Newtonian Fluids

抄録

There are many viscosity equations to describe a shear-thinning viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid. In the present study, a multi-mode viscosity equation to more accurately fit measured data was proposed. The viscosity data were obtained for aqueous solutions of carboxymethylcellulose using a cone-and-plate rheometer. Consequently, the fitted results using the proposed viscosity equation to the measured data were very good.
