Concept explainers
It is a common practice when examining a fluid's viscous behavior to plot the shear strain rate (velocity gradient)
on the abscissa versus shear stress
where
For Bing hamplastics, the reis a yields tress

A common example is toothpaste.
For pseudoplastics, or “shear thinning” fluids, the shear stress is raised to a power n less than one,
Such fluids, such as yogurt, mayonnaise, and shampoo, exhibit a decrease in viscosity with increasing stress. Note that for cases where
The following data show the relationship be tween the shear stress
