Abstract
The flow of power‐law liquids through tapered dies has been analyzed in an earlier paper.1 We now consider a taper which is additionally streamlined so as to make the transition from a broad and sluggish flow to a flow which is narrow and fast and as smooth as possible. This involves (1) the rational selection of an appropriate taper function within the relevant flow geometry and (2) the integration, between limits, of that function.
