A question about non-Newtonian fluids in a "Transport Phenomena" book

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of equations for purely viscous non-Newtonian fluids, which utilize the same form as those for Newtonian fluids, as stated by Mr. Chestermiller. This information is corroborated by the reference to "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. The specific page for non-Newtonian fluids in the 2nd Edition, circa 2000, is Section 8.3 on page 241. Users with older editions, such as the 1960 copyright version, may find differing page numbers for similar content.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics
  • Familiarity with the "Transport Phenomena" textbook by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot
  • Knowledge of stress tensors in fluid dynamics
  • Basic principles of viscosity and fluid behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Review Section 8.3 of "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot for detailed equations
  • Study the differences between Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
  • Explore the concept of stress tensors in fluid dynamics
  • Investigate updates or newer editions of "Transport Phenomena" for potential changes in content
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in fluid mechanics, chemical engineering, and physics who are studying non-Newtonian fluids and their mathematical modeling.

TL;DR
I search for a specific text in specific book
In this topic >> https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/stress-tensor-for-non-Newtonian-fluid.860240/
Mr. Chestermiller replies that "For a purely viscous non-Newtonian fluid (not viscoelastic), you use exactly the same form of equation as for a Newtonian fluid (see Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot)". Actually, this reply is the exact answer what I searching for.
Can anyone tell me what is the page of the given book which say that ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
According to my index, page 79 for Newtonian Fluids, and 101 for non-Newtonian. Mine's an older book, copyright 1960. I'm not sure if there are recent additions that might change the page numbering.

I don't know that you will find the exact quote from the post in the same exact wording in the book. You may have to do some reading and thinking on it.
