Theoretical Results for the Rigid Dumbbell Suspension Model

One of the aims of a molecular theory is to find interrelations among the theoretical results, in the hope that such interrelations may be useful in interpreting experimental data or in catalyzing interest in new experiments. From several of the previous sections we can conclude the following  

In addition to the above relations, one finds a relation between the non-Newtonian viscosity curve and the complex viscosity. By comparing the results in Eq. (6.7) and Eq. (7.17) to the order of terms in the square of the shear rate or frequency, it is found that (tj — s) vs. k is the same as I — t]s vs. k where k = j/60/49 = 1.1. This agrees reasonably well 

This idea of comparing results from several experiments and cancelling out the model is a rather important idea. It may well be that further structural studies will prove useful for obtaining ideas about interrelations among several experiments. Often it is found that the interrelations obtained in this way are better than the expressions for individual experiments which rest on a model which is manifestly inadequate.
