The consistency decay of a thixotropic fluid under sustained shear is similar in many respects to a first order — second order reversible chemical reaction and has been described in terms of an analogous kinetic model. The data necessary for an experimental evaluation of the theoretical model were obtained through an analysis of the Theological behavior of Pembina Crude Oil. These data were then effectively correlated in terms of the theoretical expression.
