This paper presents a general analytical method for deriving mathematical relationships between pressure losses and the volumetric flow rate for laminar flows of a Sisko fluid. In this paper, only the laminar flow of Sisko type fluids is considered. It was demonstrated that the method can be used to find solutions for other pseudoplastic fluids and for different hapes of fissures and tubes. It can also be a good basis for numerical integration when analytical expressions are hard to obtain due to mathematical complexities. As an example, the following cases of convergent-divergent or divergent-convergent fissures and tubes, namely: parabolic, hyperbolic, hyperbolic cosine and cosine curve were considered. For each example, the formulae for pressure losses, volumetric flow rate and flow velocity were obtained. The most general forms of these formulas can be obtained by introducing hindrance factors.
