Because of the aceuraey ~d simplicity of the power law, it is the most widely used rheological equation for pseudoplastie tluids. The eelasisteney index (]l0Wer law, K) is very slmilar to Newtonian viscosity in that there is ru~ appreCiable decrease for am increase in temperature amd an appreciable imerease for an increase iR concentration. For suspensions, the ratio o.f K to the viscosity o.f the suspending medium is often nearly c@E.stant. The decrease with inereasing temperature is ofte~ at the same rate as tke s@lvent or suspending medi~ (118). Tae flow wehavior index, n, is relatively constant with temperature, although there are slight changes. For water dispersible p@lymers, n :i.Jt'l.ereases slightly with tem.perature and approaches ~ity at high temperatures. As the concentration of solids or polymer imcreases, R decreases (118, 128).
