✦ Synopsis

With the help of quasilinear irreversible thermodynamics, a relation between the shear viscosity and the primary normal-stress coefficient can be derived. A similar relation has been proposed by Bird, Hassager and AbdeI-Khalik [1] for the first term of the Goddard expansion [2]. Here, we show that by incorporating the Carreau viscosity equation [3] with the irreversible thermodynamics the primary normal-stress coefficient can be expressed in closed form.
