When paraffin wax is heated well beyond its melting point (for example to 120 C), does the resulting fluid show the behavior of a Newtonian fluid or a non-Newtonian fluid?
Rheological calibration experiments on commercial paraffin wax with melting point of 53±1°C show that this material is a nonlinear fluid (1.6≤n≤2.1) for homologous temperatures T/Tm
