Figure 1.12 Comparison between measured values and power law<br />

Example<br />

Following values are given for a LDPE:<br />

nR<br />

= 0.3286<br />

J3 =0.00863 ( 0 C" 1 )<br />

KOR =135990 (N s" R <strong>•</strong> nT 2 )<br />

The viscosity 7]a at T = 200 0 C and ya = 500 s" 1 is calculated from Equation 1.32<br />

7JZ = 373.1Pa-s<br />

1.3.7.3 Muenstedt's Polynomial<br />

The fourth degree polynomial of MUENSTEDT [2] provides a good fit for the measured<br />

values of viscosity. For a specific temperature this is expressed as<br />

(1.33)<br />

where A0, A1, A2, A3, A4 represent resin-dependent constants. These constants can be<br />

determined with the help of the program of RAO [ 10], which is based on multiple linear<br />

regressions.<br />

This program in its general form fits an equation of the type<br />

and prints out the coefficients a0, ax and so on for the best fit.<br />
