Question:

The apparent viscosity of a non-newtonian liquid at a given shear rate is the value indicated by a viscometer operating on the liquid at that shear rate. It is the viscosity that would be indicated by the viscometer if the liquid were newtonian. 

(a) Calculate the apparent viscosity of a 4 percent suspension of paper pulp in water at shear rates du/dy of 10 s-1 and 1,000 s-1

(b) Repeat for a 25 percent suspension of clay in water.
