Table 5.

Values of the Carreau–Yasuda parameters ${\eta }_0$, ${\eta }_{\infty }$, a, $\lambda$, and n obtained by fitting the experimental results. BF means base fluid (EG: Ethylene Glycol and LO: Lubricating Oil) at (@) solid volume fraction $\varphi$ (in %). $R_{\mathrm{CY}}^2$ and $R_{\mathrm{CM}}^2$ are the determination coefficients corresponding to the Carreau–Yasuda and the Cross models, respectively. $R_{\mathrm{PL}}^2$ is the determination coefficient of the power law model, which has been applied only for $\varphi =0.1\%$.
