Shear rate f<br />

Figure 1.13 Power law exponent of a LDPE as a function of shear rate and temperature<br />

Example<br />

The viscosity for a LDPE is to be calculated with the following constants:<br />

A = 4.2541<br />

Al = -0.4978<br />

A2 = -0.0731<br />

A3= 0.0133<br />

A4- -0.0011<br />

B = 5.13 -10" 6<br />

Bl = 5640K<br />

at Y^ = 500 s" 1 and T = 200 0 C.<br />

Solution<br />

With<br />

Power law exponent n<br />

aT from Equation 1.34<br />

7]a from Equation 1.36<br />

Substituting the values of A0, A1, and so on yields<br />
