              - TM-5-A (6/86) 
 
                simplex program for fitting viscosity data with 4-constant (n, 
                tau*, B, Tb) model  
                 
               -  5-A-P (6/86) 
 
                software used to plot data and resulting fit from 5-A  
                 
               -  5-B (6/86) 
 
                fits capillary-rheometer viscosity data with due regard for viscous 
                heating and pressure dependence by combining simplex method with 
                finite-difference simulation of steady non-isothermal flow in 
                tube; generates values for either 5-constant (n, tau*, B, Tb, 
                beta) or 7-constant (n, tau*, D1, D2, D3, A1, A2 or à 2) 
                models ...superseded by 5-D  
                 
               -  5-B-P (6/86) 
 
                software used to plot data and resulting fit from 5-B  
                 
               -  5-C (6/86) 
 
                same as 5-B but neglects viscous heating & assumes power-law fluid 
                (but with pressure dependence) such that finite-difference simulation 
                of 5-B gets replaced by closed-form result  
                 
               -  5-C-P (6/86) 
 
                software used to plot data and resulting fit from 5-C  
                 
               -  5-D (6/89) 
 
                program PLEX3EM2 which is an extension of 5-B to include juncture 
                losses via (delta)Pe = C1*(tau-w0)^C2 where (tau-w0) denotes wall 
                shear stress at capillary entrance; accordingly, program performs 
                Bagley and Weissenberg-Rabinowitsch corrections with due regard 
                to pressure dependence and viscous heating (note: unlike 5-B, 
                this up-graded version does not handle the double-piston pressurized 
                capillary rheometer of Westover); superseded by PLEX3EM7 
                 
                 
               -  5-D-P (6/89) 
 
                software used to plot data and resulting fit from 5-D in terms 
                of (delta)P versus gamma for fixed inlet temperature and die (i.e. 
                each curve corresponds to fixed To, L/D and D); superseded by 
                PLX3E7-P
