Compute 9 which is predicted for the steady simple shear by the Maxwell model. Maxwell Fluid : The logarithmic plots of the shear rate dependent viscosity of a narrow molecular weight distribution polystyrene (triangle, open symbol) and a broad distribution polystyrene (round, solid symbol) at 180°C are given in the figure below.
