1.3.7.2 Power Law of Ostwald and de Waele<br />

The power law of OSTWALD [6] and DE WAELE [7] is easy to use, hence widely employed in<br />

design work [10]. This relation can be expressed as<br />

or<br />

(1.26)<br />

(1.27)<br />

where K denotes a factor of proportionality and n the power law exponent. Another<br />

form of power law often used is<br />

or<br />

Shear rate f<br />

s" 1<br />

PE-LD<br />

19O 0 C<br />

(1.28)<br />

(1.29)<br />

In this case, nR is the reciprocal of n and KR = K~ nR . From Equation 1.26 the exponent<br />

n can be expressed as<br />

N/m 2<br />
