Statement 1: For non-Newtonian fluids, another term called apparent viscosity is used as their viscosity changes with the change in the shear rate. Statement 2: For non-Newtonian fluids, between the transition region, the power number for non-Newtonian fluids is slightly higher than that for Newtonian fluids.
