Notes:
A formula has been determined which satisfactorily represents, for the existing data, the frictional characteristics of the turbulent flow of a dilute viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluid in a pipe. This formula contains two elastic fluid parameters, one of which is strongly dependent on both polymer solute and concentration and the other appears to be a constant and independent of the polymer solutes which were used in this report. A rheometer is proposed based on this formula which should be useful in classifying fluids of this type.
