Notes:
Capillary flow data were obtained for a 27.5% solution of cellulose acetate in acetone. The solution temperature was 50°C, and the range of apparent shear rates investigated was 1.7 × 105 to 1.7 × 106 sec-1. Capillaries having tapered entrance angles of 37.88° to 120.63° were used. A power-law model was adequate to describe the shear stress at the wall (τw) and the corrected shear rate \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$(\dot \gamma )$\end{document} relationship. Entrance angle affected the entrance pressure drop corrected for kinetic energy, (ΔP0,c); ΔP0,c increased as the angle widened. Treating the entrance flow as an elongational flow situation facilitated superposition of the Delta;P0,c data on a single curve. Estimated elongational viscosities decreased with increasing applied stress.
