Abstract

The proposal ofJackson andKaye (1966) for evaluating both differences of normal stress in a viscometric flow by using only total thrust measurements in a cone- and-plate viscometer is extended. An analytic relation valid for all values of the separation between cone and plate is obtained, which is shown to include as special cases the well-known cone- and-plate formula, the parallel-plate formula ofKotaka et al. (1959) andJackson andKaye's.

Examples of the method's application to experimental results are given.
