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

In summary, Mr. Chestermiller states that for a purely viscous non-Newtonian fluid, the equation used is the same as for a Newtonian fluid, as explained in the book by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. Specifically, in the 2nd edition of the book from around 2000, this information can be found in Section 8.3 on page 241.

TL;DR Summary
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 ?

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.
