Constants
a. µ pl = q 600 - q 300 = 140 - 98 = 42 cP

YP = q 300 - µ pl = 98 - 42 = 56 lb / 100 ft 2 = 28.4 Pa

µ pl =
(140 - 98) 0.4788 ×1.06 = 41.710 -3 Pas
(600 - 300) 1.703

YP = t 2 - µ pl × g 2 = 71.06 - 41.07 × 10 -3 × 1022 = 28.4 Pa

n = log (t 2 / t 1 ) / log(g 2 / g 1 ) = 0.51, K = 2.08 Pas - n

Solutions.
2. P-loss
a. µ pl = q 600 - q 300 = 140 - 98 = 42 cP

YP = q 300 - µ pl = 98 - 42 = 56 lb / 100 ft 2 = 28.4 Pa

µ pl =
(140 - 98) 0.4788 ×1.06 = 41.710 -3 Pas
(600 - 300) 1.703

YP = t 2 - µ pl × g 2 = 71.06 - 41.07 × 10 -3 × 1022 = 28.4 Pa

n = log (t 2 / t 1 ) / log(g 2 / g 1 ) = 0.51, K = 2.08 Pas - n
