Abstract
The main aim of this research work is to establish, under fully developed conditions, an analytical solution for viscoelastic fluids flow obeying the constitutive Phan–Thien–Tanner (PTT) and Finely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) models. In fact, a unified formulation for laminar, stationary and fully developed flow in the cases of circular and flat ducts geometries is obtained for velocity profile involving PTT and FENE-P models. In this investigation, the effect of pressure gradient on velocity profile, shear stress, shear rate and shear viscosity is explored. Effects of pressure gradient and Weissenberg number on normal stress are also studied and discussed.
