摘要: Method and apparatus are disclosed for measuring an apparent viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid. The method involves calculating power-law number n relating shear stress the fluid to rate fluid, then estimated Ŋest at selected based on yield Y calculated . is experimental observation that reference 1.5 times most thinning fluids (e.g., grease).
