Representation of the rheological properties of polymer melts in terms of complex fluidity

In dynamic rheological experiments melt behavior is usually expressed in terms of complex viscosity ^* () or complex modulusG ^* (). In contrast, we attempted to use the complex fluidity ^* () = 1/µ ^* () to represent this behavior. The main interest is to simplify the complex-plane diagram and to simplify the determination of fundamental parameters such as the Newtonian viscosity or the parameter of relaxation-time distribution when a Cole-Cole type distribution can be applied. ^* () complex shear viscosity - () real part of the complex viscosity - () imaginary part of the complex viscosity - G ^* () complex shear modulus - G() storage modulus in shear - G() loss modulus in shear - J ^* () complex shear compliance - J() storage compliance in shear - J() loss compliance in shear - shear strain - rate of strain - angular frequency (rad/s) - shear stress - loss angle - ^* () complex shear fluidity - () real part of the complex fluidity - () imaginary part of the complex fluidity - ₀ zero-viscosity - ₀ average relaxation time - h parameter of relaxation-time distribution     

Similar solutions and the asymptotics of filtration equations

In this paper we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the quasilinear equation of filtration as t. We prove that similar solutions of the equation u _t = (u )_xx asymptotically represent solutions of the Cauchy problem for the full equation u _t = [(u)]_xx if (u) is close to u for small u.     

Nonlinear rheological behavior of a concentrated spherical silica suspension

Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic properties were examined for a 50 wt% suspension of spherical silica particles (with radius of 40 nm) in a viscous medium, 2.27/1 (wt/wt) ethylene glycol/glycerol mixture. The effective volume fraction of the particles evaluated from zero-shear viscosities of the suspension and medium was 0.53. At a quiescent state the particles had a liquid-like, isotropic spatial distribution in the medium. Dynamic moduli G^* obtained for small oscillatory strain (in the linear viscoelastic regime) exhibited a relaxation process that reflected the equilibrium Brownian motion of those particles. In the stress relaxation experiments, the linear relaxation modulus G(t) was obtained for small step strain (0.2) while the nonlinear relaxation modulus G(t, ) characterizing strong stress damping behavior was obtained for large (>0.2). G(t, ) obeyed the time-strain separability at long time scales, and the damping function h() (–G(t, )/G(t)) was determined. Steady flow measurements revealed shear-thinning of the steady state viscosity () for small shear rates (< ^–1; = linear viscoelastic relaxation time) and shear-thickening for larger (>^–1). Corresponding changes were observed also for the viscosity growth and decay functions on start up and cessation of flow, + (t, ) and _– (t, ). In the shear-thinning regime, the and dependence of ₊(t,) and _–(t,) as well as the dependence of () were well described by a BKZ-type constitutive equation using the G(t) and h() data. On the other hand, this equation completely failed in describing the behavior in the shear-thickening regime. These applicabilities of the BKZ equation were utilized to discuss the shearthinning and shear-thickening mechanisms in relation to shear effects on the structure (spatial distribution) and motion of the suspended particles.Dedicated to the memory of Prof. Dale S.

Transient flow towards a well in an aquifer including the effect of fluid inertia

Transient propagation of weak pressure perturbations in a homogeneous, isotropic, fluid saturated aquifer has been studied. A damped wave equation for the pressure in the aquifer is derived using the macroscopic, volume averaged, mass conservation and momentum equations. The equation is applied to the case of a well in a closed aquifer and analytical solutions are obtained to two different flow cases. It is shown that the radius of influence propagates with a finite velocity. The results show that the effect of fluid inertia could be of importance where transient flow in porous media is studied.List of symbols b Thickness of the aquifer, m - c ₀ Wave velocity, m/s - k Permeability of the porous medium, m² - n Porosity of the porous medium - p( ,t) Pressure, N/m² - Q Volume flux, m³/s - r Radial coordinate, m - r _w Radius of the well, m - s Transform variable - S Storativity of the aquifer - S _d(r, t) Drawdown, m - t Time, s - T Transmissivity of the aquifer, m²/s - ( ,t) Velocity of the fluid, m/s - Coordinate vector, m - z Vertical coordinate, m - Coefficient of compressibility, m²/N - Coefficient of fluid compressibility, m²/N - Relaxation time, s - (r, t) Hydraulic potential, m - Dynamic viscosity of the fluid, Ns/m² - Dimensionless radius - Density of the fluid, Ns²/m⁴ - (, ) Dimensionless drawdown - Dimensionless time - , x Dummy variables - ₀, ₁ Auxilary functions     

Elongational flow opto-rheometry for polymer melts

Polymer melt elongation is one of the most important procedures in polymer processing. To understand its molecular mechanisms, we constructed an elongational flow opto-rheometer (EFOR) in which a high precision birefringence apparatus of reflection-double path type was installed into a Meissner's new elongational rheometer of a gas cushion type (commercialized as RME from Rheometric Scientific) just by mounting a small reflecting mirror at the center of the RME's sample supporting table. The EFOR enabled us to achieve simultaneous measurements of tensile stress (t) and birefringence n(t) as a function of time t under a given constant strain rate within the range of 0.001 to 1.0s^–1. (t) can be monitored upto the maximum Hencky strain (t) of 7 as attained, in principle, with RME, while the measurable range of the phase difference in the birefringence was 0 to 250 (0 to 79 100 nm for He-Ne laser light) within the accuracy of ±0.1 (±31.6 nm) up to (t) 4. The performance was tested on an anionically polymerized polystyrene (PS) and a low density polyethylene (LDPE). For both polymers (t) first followed the linear viscoelasticity rule in that the elongational viscosity, , is three times the steady shear viscosity, 3 _o(t), at low shear rate , but the _E (t) tended to deviate upward after a certain Hencky strain was attained. The birefringence n(t) was a function of both Hencky strain and strain rate in such a way that the stress-optical law holds with the stress-optical coefficient C(t) = n(t)/(t) being equal to the ones reported from shear flow experiments. Interestingly, however, for PS elongated at low strain rates the C(t) vs (t) relation exhibited a strong nonlinearity as soon as (t) reached steady state. This implies that the tensile stress reaches the steady state but the birefringence continues to increase in the low strain-rate elongation. For the PS melt elongated at high strain rates, on the other hand, C(t) was nearly a constant in the entire range observed. For LDPE with long-chain branchings, (t) exhibited tendency of strain-induced hardening after certain critical strain, but C(t) was nearly a constant in the entire range of (t) observed.

Power spectra of fluid velocities measured by laser Doppler velocimetry

The power spectrum and the correlation of the laser Doppler velocimeter velocity signal obtained by sampling and holding the velocity at each new Doppler burst are studied. Theory valid for low fluctuation intensity flows shows that the measured spectrum is filtered at the mean sample rate and that it contains a filtered white noise spectrum caused by the steps in the sample and hold signal. In the limit of high data density, the step noise vanishes and the sample and hold signal is statistically unbiased for any turbulence intensity.List of symbols A cross-section of the LDV measurement volume, m² - A empirical constant - B bandwidth of velocity spectrum, Hz - C concentration of particles that produce valid signals, number/m³ - d _m diameter of LDV measurement volume, m - f(₁, ₂ | u) probability density of t _i; and t _j given (t) for all t, Hz² - probability density for t _j-t_i, Hz - n (t, t) number of valid bursts in (t, t) = N + n - N (t, t) mean number of valid bursts in (t, t) - N _e mean number of particles in LDV measurement volume - valid signal arrival rate, Hz - mean valid signal arrival rate, Hz - R _uu time delayed autocorrelation of velocity, m²/s² - S _u power spectrum of velocity, m²/s²/Hz - t ₁, t ₂ times at which velocity is correlated, s - t _i, t _j arrival times of the bursts that immediately precede t ₁ and t ₂, respectively, s - t _ij t _j–t _i s - T averaging time for spectral estimator, s - T _u integral time scale of u (t), s - T Taylor's microscale for u (t), s - u velocity vector = U + u, m/s - u fluctuating component of velocity, m/s - U mean velocity, m/s - u _m sampled and held signal, m/s Greek symbols (t) noise signal, m/s - _m (t) sampled and held noise signal, m/s - bandwidth of spectral estimator window, radians/s - time between arrivals in pdf, s - Taylor's microscale of length = UT m - kinematic viscosity - ₁, ₂ arrival times in pdf, s - root mean square of noise signal, m/s - _u root mean square of u, m/s - delay time = t ₂ - t ₁ s - B duration of a Doppler burst, s - circular frequency, radians/s - _c low pass frequency of signal spectrum radians/s Other symbols ensemble average - conditional average - ^ estimate     

Optical co-ordinates in general relativity 2 — the problem of distance

We prove that determines a unique collection of vector fieldsM₍₎ ( =1, 2, 3) and ₍₀₎ overV ₄, satisfying a weak version of Killing's conditions.This allows a natural interpretation of these fields as the infinitesimal generators of spatial rotations and temporal translation relative to the given observer. We prove also that the definition of the fieldsM₍₎ and ₍₀₎ is mathematically equivalent to the choice of a distinguished affine parameter f along the curves of, playing the role of a retarded distance from the observer.The relation between f and other possible definitions of distance is discussed.

Successivamente si esaminano i legami tra f ed altre possibili definizioni di distanza in grande.

On nonlinear problems of mixed type: A qualitative theory using infinite-dimensional center manifolds

We consider the equation a(y)u_xx+div_y(b(y)_yu)+c(y)u=g(y, u) in the cylinder (–l,l)×, being elliptic where b(y)>0 and hyperbolic where b(y)<0. We construct self-adjoint realizations in L₂() of the operatorAu= (1/a) div_y(b_yu)+(c/a) in the case ofb changing sign. This leads to the abstract problem u_xx+Au=g(u), whereA has a spectrum extending to + as well as to –. For l= it is shown that all sufficiently small solutions lie on an infinite-dimensional center manifold and behave like those of a hyperbolic problem. Anx-independent cross-sectional integral E=E(u, u_x) is derived showing that all solutions on the center manifold remain bounded forx ±. For finitel, all small solutionsu are close to a solution on the center manifold such that u(x)-(x) Ce ^-(1-|x|) for allx, whereC and are independent ofu. Hence, the solutions are dominated by hyperbolic properties, except close to the terminal ends {±1}×, where boundary layers of elliptic type appear.

Theory of single well tests in a leaky aquifer. Analytical solution for non steady flow

The evaluation of a pump test or a slug test in a single well that completely penetrates a leaky aquifer does not yield a unique relation between the hydraulic properties of the aquifer, independent of the testing conditions. If the flow is transient, the drawdown is characterized by a single similarity parameter that does not distinguish between the storativity and the leakage factor. If the flow is quasi stationary, the drawdown is characterized by a single similarity parameter that does not distinguish between the transmissivity and the leakage factor. The general non steady solution, which is derived in closed form, is characterized bythree similarity parameters.Nomenclature a e 0.8905 = auxiliary parameter - b thickness of the aquifer - b _c thickness of the semipervious stratum - B() auxiliary function - f(s),g(s) auxiliary functions in the complex plane - F(t),G(t) auxiliary functions of time - h undisturbed level of the phreatic surface - K conductivity of the aquifer - K _c conductivity of the semipervious stratum - m ₀ leakage factor - m dimensionless leakage factor - N(s) auxiliary function in the complex plane - Q _w (t) discharge flux - Q steady discharge flux - Q ₀ constant discharge flux during limited time - Q(t) dimensionless discharge flux - r ₀ radius of the well - r radial coordinate - r dimensionless radial coordinate - s complex variable - s ₀ pole - S storativity of the aquifer - S _n n'th part of an integration contour - t time - t dimensionless time - T transmissivity of the aquifer - ,,,,, dimensionless parameters - Euler's number - dummy variable - ₁(), ₂() auxiliary functions - (r, t) drawdown - ₀(t) drawdown in the well - (r, t) dimensionless drawdown - ₀(t) dimensionless drawdown in the well     

Nonlocal dispersion in media with continuously evolving scales of heterogeneity

General nonlocal diffusive and dispersive transport theories are derived from molecular hydrodynamics and associated theories of statistical mechanical correlation functions, using the memory function formalism and the projection operator method. Expansion approximations of a spatially and temporally nonlocal convective-dispersive equation are introduced to derive linearized inverse solutions for transport coefficients. The development is focused on deriving relations between the frequency-and wave-vector-dependent dispersion tensor and measurable quantities. The resulting theory is applicable to porous media of fractal character.Nomenclature C _v (t) particle velocity correlation function - C _v ,(t) particle fluctuation velocity correlation function - C _j (x,t) current correlation function - D(x,t) dispersion tensor - D(x,t) fluctuation dispersion tensor - f ₀(x,p) equilibrium phase probability distribution function - f(x, p;t) nonequilibrium phase probability distribution function - G(x,t) conditional probability per unit volume of finding a particle at (x,t) given it was located elsewhere initially - (k,t) Fourier transform ofG(x,t) - G(x,t) fluctuation conditional probability per unit volume of finding a particle at (x,t) given it was located elsewhere initially - k wave vector - K(t) memory function - L Liouville operator - m mass - p(t) particle momentum coordinate - P = (0)( , (0)) projection operator - Q =I-P projection operator - s real Laplace space variable - S(k, ) time-Fourier transform of(k,t) - t time - v(t) particle velocity vector - v(t) particle fluctuation velocity vector - V phase space velocity - time-Fourier variable - ^(itn)(k) frequency moment of(k,t) - x(t) particle displacement coordinate - x(t) particle displacement fluctuation coordinate - friction coefficient - (t) normalized correlation function General Functions () Dirac delta function - () Gamma function Averages ₀ Equilibrium phase-space average - Nonequilibrium phase-space average - (,) L ² inner product with respect tof ₀     

Nonlinear viscoelastic properties and change in entanglement structure of linear polymer

Simultaneous measurements of stress relaxation and differential dynamic modulus were made at 268 K over a time scale of 10 to 10⁴⁵ s for nearly monodisperse polybutadiene (M _w =2.2x10⁵, 1,2-structure 70%, M _e =3600) and also one having coarse cross-linking (M _c =29000). Static shear strain ranged from 0.1 to 2.0. In a long-time region (t> _k ), the relaxation modulus G (; t) could be expressed by the product G (0; t) h (y). The observed h() agreed well with the Doi-Edwards theory without use of IA approximation. Both the cured and uncured samples showed initial drop of the differential storage modulus G (), ; t) followed by gradual recovery, but did not attain the value before shearing G (, ; t) for the uncured sample showed smaller values than that for the cured one in the whole measured time scale at the higher strain, confirming the two origins of nonlinear viscoelasticity of well entangled polymer; induced chain anisotropy and induced decrement in entanglement density. G (, ; t) curves for the cured sample agreed well with the BKZ predictions. But the curves for the uncured sample agreed well with the BKZ prediction only at the time scale of t< _k . BKZ prediction showed significant upward deviations at t> _k . Such the differences are discussed in terms of the two origins.Dedicated to Prof. John D. Ferry on the occasion of his 85th birthday.     

On the effect of magnetic field on viscous lifting and drainage of conducting fluid

Specializing to the case when the surface moves with a constant acceleration, it has been found that the film thickness, for large magnetic fields, increases with the increase in magnetic field.Nomenclature a acceleration of the plate - A non-dimensional acceleration, =a/g - B magnetic induction vector - B ₀ applied magnetic field - f(t) any function oft - Laplace transform off(t) - g gravitational acceleration - h film thickness - H non-dimensional film thickness, =h(g/ ²)^1/3 - J current density vector - k (/)^1/2 B ₀ - M k( ²/g)^1/3 - n summation index - q mass flow rate - Q non-dimensional mass flow rate, =q/ - t time - T non-dimensional time, =t(g ²/)^1/3 - Laplace transform ofv(x, t) - V fluid velocity vector, =[0,v(x, t), 0] - (x, y, z) space coordinates - Y non-dimensionaly-coordinate, =y(g/ ²)^1/3 Greek symbols _n (n+1/2) - conductivity - density - kinematic viscosity     

Measurement of dynamic surface tension by the oscillating droplet method

An optical measuring method has been applied to determine the dynamic surface tension of aqueous solutions of heptanol. The method uses the frequency of an oscillating liquid droplet as an indicator of the surface tension of the liquid. Droplets with diameters in the range between 100 and 200 m are produced by the controlled break-up of a liquid jet. The temporal development of the dynamic surface tension of heptanol-water solutions is interpreted by a diffusion controlled adsorption mechanism, based on the three-layer model of Ward and Tordai. Measured values of the surface tension of bi-distilled water, and the pure dynamic and static (asymptotic) surface tensions of the surfactant solutions are in very good agreement with values obtained by classical methods.List of symbols a coefficient of intermolecular forces, Nm^-1 - B adsorption constant - c _o bulk concentration, mol m^-3 - D apparent diffusion coefficient, m²s^-1 - t time, s - T absolute temperature, K - R universal gas constant=8.314, J mol^-1 K^-1 - (, t) droplet contour function - _o droplet equilibrium radius, m Greek symbols maximum surface excess concentration, mol m^-2 - (t) droplet volume normalization function - azimuth of the polar coordinate system - density, kgm^-3 - surface tension, N m^-1 - (t) concentration in the subsurface, molm^-3 - droplet oscillation frequency Daimler-Benz AG, Produktion & Umwelt, D-89081 UlmOn leave of absence from the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, PL-00-049 Warszawa     

On laminar flow through a uniformly porous pipe

Numerous investigations ([1] and [4–9]) have been made of laminar flow in a uniformly porous circular pipe with constant suction or injection applied at the wall. The object of this paper is to give a complete analysis of the numerical and theoretical solutions of this problem. It is shown that two solutions exist for all values of injection as well as the dual solutions for suction which had been noted by previous investigators. Analytical solutions are derived for large suction and injection; for large suction a viscous layer occurs at the wall while for large injection one solution has a viscous layer at the centre of the channel and the other has no viscous layer anywhere. Approximate analytic solutions are also given for small values of suction and injection.

Robustness of Exponential Dichotomies in Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

In this paper we examine the issue of the robustness, or stability, of an exponential dichotomy, or an exponential trichotomy, in a dynamical system on an Banach space W. These two hyperbolic structures describe long-time dynamical properties of the associated time-varying linearized equation _t +A=B(t) , where the linear operator B(t) is the evaluation of a suitable Fréchet derivative along a given solution in the set K in W. Our main objective is to show, under reasonable conditions, that if B(t)=B(, t) depends continuously on a parameter and there is an exponential dichotomy, or exponential trichotomy, at a value ₀, then there is an exponential dichotomy, or exponential trichotomy, for all near ₀.We present several illustrations indicating the significance of this robustness property.     

Parameter determination for thermodynamical models of the pseudoelastic behaviour of shape memory alloy by resistivity measurements and infrared thermography

Two thermodynamical models of pseudoelastic behaviour of shape memory alloys have been formulated. The first corresponds to the ideal reversible case. The second takes into account the hysteresis loop characteristic of this shape memory alloys.Two totally independent techniques are used during a loading-unloading tensile test to determine the whole set of model parameters, namely resistivity and infrared thermography measurements. In the ideal case, there is no difficulty in identifying parameters.Infrared thermography measurements are well adapted for observing the phase transformation thermal effects.Notations 1 austenite 2 martensite - ₍₎ Macroscopic infinitesimal strain tensor of phase - ₍₂₎ ^f Traceless strain tensor associated with the formation of martensite phase - Macroscopic infiniesimal strain tensor - Macroscopic infinitesimal strain tensor deviator - _f Trace - Equivalent strain - ^pe Macroscopic pseudoelastic strain tensor - x Distortion due to parent (austenite =1)product (martensite =2) phase transformation (traceless symmetric second order tensor) - M Total mass of a system - M() Total mass of phase - V Total volume of a system - V() Total volume of phase - z=M(2)/M Weight fraction of martensite - 1-z=M(1)/M Weight fraction of austenite - u ₀ ^* () Specific internal energy of phase (=1,2) - s ₀ ^* () Specific internal entropy of phase - Specific configurational energy - Specific configurational entropy - ₀ ^f (T) Driving force for temperature-induced martensitic transformation at stress free state ( ₀ ^f T) = T ^*–Ts ^*) - Kirchhoff stress tensor - Kirchhoff stress tensor deviator - Equivalent stress - Cauchy stress tensor - Mass density - K Bulk moduli (K ₀=K) - L Elastic moduli tensor (order 4) - E Young modulus - Energetic shear (₀ = ) - Poisson coefficient - M _s ^o (M _F ^o ) Martensite start (finish) temperature at stress free state - A _s ^o (A _F ^o ) Austenite start (finish) temperature at stress free state - C _v Specific heat at constant volume - k Conductivity - Pseudoelastic strain obtained in tensile test after complete phase transformation (AM) (unidimensional test) - ₀ Thermal expansion tensor - r Resistivity - 1MPa 10⁶ N/m ² - ⁽⁾ Specific free energy of phase - _n Specific free energy at non equilibrium (R model) - _n ^eq Specific free energy at equilibrium (R model) - _n ^v Volumic part of ^eq - Specific free energy at non equilibrium (R _L model) - _conf Specific coherency energy (R _L model) - _c Specific free energy at constrained equilibria (R _L model) - _it (T) Coherency term (R _L model)

An analytical approximation for the frozen laminar boundary layer flow of a binary mixture

An analytical approximation is derived for the frozen laminar boundary layer flow of a partially dissociated binary mixture along a strongly cooled flat plate. The concentration at the wall is shown to be a universal function of the Damkohler-number for the wall reaction. The Damkohlernumber also serves as a parameter of shape for the concentration profile which is presented in analytical form. The heat transfer at the wall depending on a conduction and a diffusion flux is derived and discussed. The ratio of these fluxes is expressed as a function of the Damkohler-number if the boundary conditions are known.
