Hello,

I am currently working on a viscosity control system. I have blades and screws in my system. The problem is that when i increase the rpm of mixing blade and screw, i would expect a decrease in viscosity value since the applied shear stress increases for higher rpm values. Yet, the viscosity value remains almost the same and sometimes it is even higher. I am working under steady conditions with some non-newtonian fluid. So overall question is that how can i enable shear effect on viscosity variaton ?

Thanks
