Analytical solutions for equations of unsteady flow of non-newtonian fluids in tube

This paper presents analytical solutions to the partial differential equations for unsteady flow of the second-order fluid and Maxwell fluid in tube by using the integral transform method. It can be used to analyse the behaviour of axial velocity and shear stress for unsteady flow of non-Newtonian visco-elastic fluids in tube, and to provide a theoretical base for the projection of pipe-line engineering.
