Assertion: fluid's viscosity | /r/CapableOf | decrease with increasing shear rate
Facets:
value: indefinitely
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: For example, if n were less than one, the power law predicts that the effective viscosity would decrease with increasing shear rate indefinitely, requiring a fluid with infinite viscosity at rest and zero viscosity as the shear rate approaches infinity, but a real fluid has both a minimum and a maximum effective viscosity that depend on the physical chemistry at the molecular level.
