NON-NEWTONIAN CASE<br />

Correction for the real wall shear rate is analogous to the Rabinowitch<br />

correction.<br />

NORMAL STRESS DIFFERENCE<br />

The normal stress difference N 1 can be determined from the exit pressure<br />

P e .<br />

These relations were calculated assuming straight parallel streamlines<br />

right up to the exit of the die. This assumption is not found to be valid<br />

in either experiment or computer simulation.
