Temperature and concentration dependent viscosity and gelation temperature of ABA triblock copolymer solutions

In solutions of ABA-triblock copolymers in a poor solvent for A thermoreversible gelation can occur. A three-dimensional dynamic network may form and, given the polymer and the solvent, its structure will depend on temperature and polymer mass fraction. The zero-shear rate viscosity of solutions of the triblock-copolymer polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene in n-tetradecane was measured as a function of temperature and polymer mass fraction, and analyzed; the polystyrene blocks contained about 100 monomers, the polyisoprene blocks about 2000 monomers. Empirically, in the viscosity at constant mass fraction plotted versus inverse temperature, two contributions could be discerned; one contribution dominating at high and the other one dominating at low temperatures. In a comparison with theory, the contribution dominating at low temperatures was identified with the Lodge transient network viscosity; some questions remain to be answered, however. An earlier proposal for defining the gelation temperature T _gel is specified for the systems considered, and leads to a gelation curve; T _gel as a function of polymer mass fraction.Mathematical symbols {} functional dependence; e.g., f{x} means f is a function of x - p _log logarithm to the base number p; e.g., ¹⁰log is the common logarithm - exp exponential function with base number e - sin trigonometric sine function - lim limit operation - – in integral sign: Cauchy Principal Value of integral, e.g., - derivative to x - partial derivative to x Latin symbols dimensionless constant - b constant with dimension of absolute temperature - constant with dimension of absolute temperature - B dimensionless constant - c mass fraction - dimensionless constant - constant with dimension of absolute temperature - d ^* dimensionless constant - D{0} constant with dimension of absolute temperature - e base number of natural (or Naperian) logarithm - g distribution function of inverse relaxation times - G relaxation strength relaxation function - h distribution function of relaxation times reaction constant enthalpy of a molecule - H Heaviside unit step function - i complex number defined by i ² = –1 - j{0} constant with dimension of viscosity - j index number - k Boltzmann's constant - k _H Huggins' coefficient - m mass of a molecule - n number - N number - p index number - s entropy of a molecule - t time - T absolute temperature Greek symbols as index: type of polymer molecule - as index: type of polymer molecule - shear as index: type of polymer molecule - shear rate - small variation; e.g. T is a small variation in T relative deviation Dirac delta distribution as index: type of polymer molecule - difference; e.g. is a difference in chemical potential - constant with dimension of absolute temperature - (complex) viscosity - constant with dimension of viscosity - [] intrinsic viscosity number - inverse of relaxation time - chemical potential - number pi; circle circumference divided by its diameter - mass per unit volume - relaxation time shear stress - angular frequency     

Evaluation of the dynamic-mechanical properties of solids from a cooperative model for stress relaxation

For many solid materials the stress relaxation process obeys the universal relationF = – (d/d lnt)_max = (0.1 ± 0.01) ( ₀ — _i ), regardless of the structure of the material. Here denotes the stress,t the time, ₀ the initial stress of the experiment and _i the internal stress. A cooperative model accounting for the similarity in relaxation behaviour between different materials was developed earlier. Since this model has a spectral character, the concepts of linear viscoelasticity are used here to evaluate the corresponding prediction of the dynamic mechanical properties, i.e. the frequency dependence of the storageE () and lossE () moduli. Useful numerical approximations ofE () andE () are also evaluated. It is noted that the universal relation in stress relaxation had a counterpart in the frequency dependence ofE (). The theoretical prediction of the loss factor for high-density polyethylene is compared with experimental results. The agreement is good.     

Influence of the formation of associations of macromolecules on the rheo-optical properties of their dilute solutions. I. Theory

Assuming the formation of doublets in the flow according to a mass action law, the shear rate and the concentration dependence of the extinction angle, of the birefringence, and of the average coil expansion are calculated for dilute solutions of flexible macromolecules. It is shown that this reversible association process has a strong influence on the measurable parameters in a flow birefringence experiment. c concentration (g/cm³) - h ² mean square end-to-end distance at shear rate - h ₀ ² mean-square end-to-end distance at zero-shear rate - n refractive index of the solution (not very different from the solvent for a very dilute solution) - E mean coil expansion - K ₀,K constant of the mass action law - M molecular weight - R _G gas constant - T absolute temperature - ₁ – ₂ optical anisotropy of the segment - ₀ Deborah number: - Deborah number: - shear rate - ₀, reduced concentration - _s viscosity of the solvent - [] ₀ intrinsic viscosity at zero-shear rate - [] intrinsic viscosity at shear rate - extinction angle - N _a Avodagro's number - _n magnitude of the birefringence     

Pulsatile blood flow through arterioles

An analytical study was made to examine the effect of vascular deformability on the pulsatile blood flow in arterioles through the use of a suitable mathematical model. The blood in arterioles is assumed to consist of two layers — both Newtonian but with differing coefficients of viscosity. The flow characteristics of blood as well as the resistance to flow have been determined using the numerical computations of the resulting expressions.

The theory of a vibrating-rod densimeter

The paper presents a theory of a device for the accurate determination of the density of fluids over a wide range of thermodynamic states. The instrument is based upon the measurement of the characteristics of the resonance of a circular section tube, or rod, performing steady, transverse oscillations in the fluid. The theory developed accounts for the fluid motion external to the rod as well as the mechanical motion of the rod and is valid over a defined range of conditions. A complete set of working equations and corrections is obtained for the instrument which, together with the limits of the validity of the theory, prescribe the parameters of a practical design capable of high accuracy.Nomenclature A, B, C, D constants in equation (60) - A _j , B _j constants in equation (18) - a _j ⁺ , a _j ^– wavenumbers given by equation (19) - C _f drag coefficient defined in equation (64) - C _f ^/0 , C _f ^/1 components of C _f in series expansion in powers of - c speed of sound - D _b drag force of fluid b - D ₀ coefficient of internal damping - E extensional modulus - force per unit length - F _j ⁺ , F _j ^– constants in equation (24) - f, g functions of defined in equations (56) - G modulus of rigidity - I second moment of area - K constant in equation (90) - k, k constants defined in equations (9) - L half-length of oscillator - Ma Mach number - m _a mass per unit length of fluid a - m _b added mass per unit length of fluid b - m _s mass per unit length of solid - n _j eigenvalue defined in equation (17) - P power (energy per cycle) - P _a , P _b power in fluids a and b - p pressure - R radius of rod or outer radius of tube - R _c radius of container - R _i inner radius of tube - r radial coordinate - T tension - T _visc temperature rise due to heat generation by viscous dissipation - t time - v _r , v radial and angular velocity components - y lateral displacement - z axial coordinate - dimensionless tension - _a dimensionless mass of fluid a - _b dimensionless added mass of fluid b - _b dimensionless drag of fluid b - dimensionless parameter associated with - ₀ dimensionless coefficient of internal damping - dimensionless half-width of resonance curve - dimensionless frequency difference defined in equation (87) - spatial resolution of amplitude - R, , , _s , increments in R, , , _s , - dimensionless amplitude of oscillation - dimensionless axial coordinate - ratio of to - _a , _b ratios of to for fluids a and b - angular coordinate - parameter arising from distortion of initially plane cross-sections - _f thermal conductivity of fluid - dimensionless parameter associated with - viscosity of fluid - _a , _b viscosity of fluids a and b - dimensionless displacement - _j jth component of - density of fluid - _a , _b density of fluids a and b - _s density of tube or rod material - density of fluid calculated on assumption that * - dimensionless radial coordinate - * dimensionless radius of container - dimensionless times - _{rr rr}, _r radial normal and shear stress components - spatial component of defined in equation (13) - _j jth component of - dimensionless streamfunction - ⁰, ¹ components of in series expansion in powers of - phase angle - _r phase difference - _ra , _rb phase difference for fluids a and b - streamfunction - _j jth component defined in equation (22) - dimensionless frequency (based on ) - _a , _b dimensionless frequency in fluids a and b - _s dimensionless frequency (based on _s ) - angular frequency - ₀ resonant frequency in absence of fluid and internal damping - _r resonant frequency in absence of internal fluid - _ra , _rb resonant frequencies in fluids a and b - dimensionless frequency - dimensionless frequency when _a vanishes - dimensionless frequencies when _a vanishes in fluids a and b - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b, _b and ₀ vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b and _b vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _b and _b vanish - dimensionless frequencies at which amplitude is half that at resonance

Measurements of slip at the wall during flow of high-density polyethylene through a rectangular conduit

A hot-film probe has been used to measure slip of high-density polyethylene flowing through a conduit with a rectangular cross section. A transition from no slip to a stick-slip condition has been observed and associated with irregular extrudate shape. Appreciable extrudate roughness was initiated at the same flow rate as that at which the relationship between Nusselt number and Péclet number for heat transfer from the probe departed from the behavior expected for a no-slip condition at the conduit wall.

Fractal-time stochastic processes and dynamic functions of polymeric systems

Dynamic material functions of polymeric systems are calculated via a defect-diffusion model. The random motion of defects is modelled by a fractaltime stochastic process. It is shown that the dynamic functions of polymeric solutions can be approximated by the defect-diffusion process of the mixed type. The relaxation modulus of Kohlrausch type is obtained for a fractal-time defect-diffusion process, and it is shown that this modulus is capable of portraying the dynamic behavior of typical viscoelastic solutions.The Fourier transforms of the Kohlrausch function are calculated to obtain and.

Apparent thickening behavior of dilute polystyrene solutions in extensional flows

An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the apparent thickening behavior of dilute polystyrene solutions in extensional flow. Among the parameters investigated were molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, concentration, thermodynamic solvent quality, and solvent viscosity. Apparent relative viscosity was measured as a function of wall shear rate for solutions flowing from a reservoir through a 0.1 mm I.D. tube. As increased, slight shear thinning behavior was observed up until a critical wall shear rate was exceeded, whereupon either a large increase in or small-scale thickening was observed depending on the particular solution under study. As molecular weight or concentration increased, decreased and, the jump in above , increased. increased as thermodynamic solvent quality improved. These results have been interpreted in terms of the polymer chains undergoing a coil-stretch transition at . The observation of a drop-off in at high (above ) was shown to be associated with inertial effects and not with chain fracture due to high extensional rates.     

A rotating hot-wire technique for spatial sampling of disturbed and manipulated duct flows

The documentation and control of flow disturbances downstream of various open inlet contractions was the primary focus with which to evaluate a spatial sampling technique. An X-wire probe was rotated about the center of a cylindrical test section at a radius equal to one-half that of the test section. This provided quasi-instantaneous multi-point measurements of the streamwise and azimuthal components of the velocity to investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of the flowfield downstream of various contractions. The extent to which a particular contraction is effective in controlling ingested flow disturbances was investigated by artificially introducing disturbances upstream of the contractions. Spatial as well as temporal mappings of various quantities are presented for the streamwise and azimuthal components of the velocity. It was found that the control of upstream disturbances is highly dependent on the inlet contraction; for example, reduction of blade passing frequency noise in the ground testing of jet engines should be achieved with the proper choice of inlet configurations.List of symbols K _uv correlation coefficient= - P percentage of time that an azimuthal fluctuating velocity derivative dv/d is found - U streamwise velocity component U=U (, t) - V azimuthal or tangential velocity component due to flow and probe rotation V=V (, t) - mean value of streamwise velocity component - U _m resultant velocity from and - mean value of azimuthal velocity component induced by rotation - u fluctuating streamwise component of velocity u=u(, t) - v fluctuating azimuthal component of velocity v = v (, t) - u phase-averaged fluctuating streamwise component of velocity u=u(0) - v phase-averaged fluctuating azimuthal component of velocity v=v() - û average of phase-averaged fluctuating streamwise component of velocity (u()) over cases I-1, II-1 and III-1 û = û() - average of phase-averaged fluctuating azimuthal component of velocity (v()) over cases I-1, II-1 and III-1 - u fluctuating streamwise component of velocity corrected for non-uniformity of probe rotation and/or phase-related vibration u = u(0, t) - v fluctuating azimuthal component of velocity corrected for non-uniformity or probe rotation and/or phase-related vibration v=v (, t) - u ² rms value of corrected fluctuating streamwise component of velocity - rms value of corrected fluctuating azimuthal component of velocity - phase or azimuthal position of X-probe

On the continuum modelling of porous media containing fluid: a molecular viewpoint with particular attention to scale

Mass conservation and linear momentum balance relations for a porous body and any fluid therein, valid at any given length scale in excess of nearest-neighbour molecular separations, are established in terms of local weighted averages of molecular quantities. The mass density field for the porous body at a given scale is used to identify its boundary at this scale, and a porosity field is defined for any pair of distinct length scales. Specific care is paid to the interpretation of the stress tensor associated with each of the body and fluid at macroscopic scales, and of the force per unit volume each exerts on the other. Consequences for the usual microscopic and macroscopic viewpoints are explored.Nomenclature material system; Section 2.1. - porous body (example of a material system); Sections 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 - fluid body (example of a material system); Sections 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 - weighting function; Sections 2.1, 2.3 - ,h weighting function corresponding to spherical averaging regions of radius and boundary mollifying layer of thicknessh; Section 3.2 - Euclidean space; Section 2.1 - V space of all displacements between pairs of points in; Section 2.1 - mass density field corresponding to; (2.3)₁ - ^P , ^f mass density fields for , ; (4.1) - P momentum density field corresponding to; (2.3)₂ - v velocity field corresponding to; (2.4) - S _r (X) interior of sphere of radiusr with centre at pointx; (3.3) - boundary ofany region - region in which ^p > 0 with = ,h; (3.1) - subset of whose points lie at least+h from boundary of ; (3.4) - abbreviated versions of ; Section 3.2, Remark 4 - strict interior of ; (3.7) - analogues of for fluid system ; Section 3.2 - general version of corresponding to any choice of weighting function; (4.6) - interfacial region at scale; (3.8) - ₀ scale of nearest-neighbour separations in ; Section 3.2.

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.

Viscoelastic swirling flow with free surface in cylindrical chambers

The flow of a viscoelastic liquid driven by the steadily rotating bottom cover of a cylindrical cup is investigated. The flow field and the shape of the free surface are determined at the lowest significant orders of the regular domain perturbation in terms of the angular velocity of the bottom cap. The meridional field superposed on a primary azimuthal field shows a structure of multiple cells. The velocity field and the shape of the free surface are strongly effected by the cylinder aspect ratio and the elasticity of the liquid. The use of this flow configuration as a free surface rheometer to determine the first two Rivlin-Ericksen constants is shown to be promising.Nomenclature R, ,Z Coordinates in the physical domain D - , , Coordinates in the rest stateD ₀ - r, ,z Dimensionless coordinates in the rest stateD ₀ - Angular velocity - Zero shear viscosity - Surface tension coefficient - Density - Dimensionless surface tension parameter - ₁, ₂ The first two Rivlin-Ericksen constants - Stream function - Dimensionless second order meridional stream function - ^* Dimensionless second normal stress function - 2 Dimensionless sum of the first and second normal stress functions - N ₁,N ₂ The first and second normal stress functions - n Unit normal vector - D Stretching tensor - A _n nth order Rivlin-Ericksen tensor - S Extra-stress - u Velocity field - U Dimensionless second order meridional velocity field - V Dimensionless first order azimuthal velocity field - p Pressure - Modified pressure field - P Dimensionless second order pressure field - J Mean curvature - a Cylinder radius - d Liquid depth at rest - D Dimensionless liquid depth at rest - h Free surface height - H Dimensionless free surface height at the second order     

Ein rheometer zur untersuchung von flüssigen polymermaterialien in einachsiger und zweiachsiger Dehnung

Zusammenfassung Wir stellen ein neues Dehnrheometer vor, mit dem sowohl einachsige als auch zweiachsige Dehnexperimente an flüssigen Polymermaterialien durchgeführt werden können. Bei der Apparatur wird das Prinzip der atmenden Blase verwendet: Über eine Düse wird in das zu untersuchende Material eine kugelförmige Blase aus einer niederviskosen, inkompressiblen, unmischbaren Flüssigkeit injiziert. Wachstum bzw. Schrumpfen dieser Blase führt zu einer zweiachsigen bzw. einachsigen Dehndeformation der umgebenden Polymerflüssigkeit. Der Injektionsdruck dient als Meßgröße zur Bestimmung der viskoelastischen Eigenschaften des Probenmaterials. Bei vergleichsweise niederviskosen Silikonölen gelingt die Messung der Nullviskosität bzw. der linear viskoelastischen Eigenschaften in guter Übereinstimmung mit Scherexperimenten. Bei Materialien mit ausgeprägt nichtlinear viskoelastischem Verhalten kann unter Anwendung des Wagner-Modells die Dämpfungsfunktion für ein- und zweiachsige Dehnung ermittelt werden. Unsere Ergebnisse für das Polyisobutylen Oppanol B 15 stimmen mit Messungen von Demarmels und Meißner überein, die mit der Methode der Rotierenden Klemmen durchgeführt werden. Für drei Polyisobutylene unterschiedlichen Molekulargewichts ergibt sich im Rahmen der Meßgenauigkeit die gleiche Dämpfungsfunktion.Vortrag auf der Jahrestagung 1991 der Deutschen Rheologischen Gesellschaft e.V. in Berlin.

Summary The present paper summarizes theoretical considerations regarding the elongation of flexible macromolecules in simple steady elongational flows. The macromolecules are treated as FENE(finite extensible, nonlinear elastic)-dumbbells. Equations for extensional viscosity are given for flows of dilute polymer solutions applicable at low and high elongation rates.The present paper compares the derived theoretical relationships with experimental results. These results were obtained in porous media flows, which exhibit strong elongational rates. It can be shown on the basis of the experimental investigations, that all fluid mechanic and physico-chemical parameters that influence the measured pressure losses responded as predicted by the theory.

Viscous heating correction for thermally developing flows in slit die viscometry

In the thermally developing region, d _yy /dx| _y=h varies along the flow direction x, where _yy denotes the component of stress normal to the y-plane; y = ±h at the die walls. A finite element method for two-dimensional Newtonian flow in a parallel slit was used to obtain an equation relating d _yy /dx/ _y=h and the wall shear stress ₀ at the inlet; isothermal slit walls were used for the calculation and the inlet liquid temperature T₀ was assumed to be equal to the wall temperature. For a temperature-viscosity relation /₀ = [1+(T–T₀]^–1, a simple expression [(hd _yy /dx/ _y=h )/ _w0] = 1–[1-F _c(Na)] [M()+P(Pr) ·Q(Gz ^–1)] was found to hold over the practical range of parameters involved, where Na, Gz, and Pr denote the Nahme-Griffith number, Graetz number, and Prandtl number; is a dimensionless variable which depends on Na and Gz. An order-of-magnitude analysis for momentum and energy equations supports the validity of this expression. The function F _c(Na) was obtained from an analytical solution for thermally developed flow; F _c(Na) = 1 for isothermal flow. M(), P(Pr), and Q(Gz) were obtained by fitting numerical results with simple equations.

Caractéristiques rhéologiques,coéfficient de frottement et écoulement en situation réelle de fluides à seuil

Résumé Ce travail porte sur l'étude de solutions diluées d'un polymère de l'acide acrylique dans l'eau (concentration en poids 0,1%). Ce fluide présente des effets de seuil. La mesure du champ de vitesse par vélocimétrie laser permet une détermination précise de l'indice rhéologique,n, étant un paramètre essentiel de la loi de comportement proposée: . Les autres constantes peuvent être déduites d'essais rhéologiques classiques, à fort taux de cisaillement. Il est possible de corriger le gradient de pression mesuréP/L, afin d'obtenir la valeur véritable de ce gradient, notéedp/dz. L'analyse de l'écoulement dans un élargissement brusque montre que le seuil a une forte influence sur les zones de recirculation.

This work deals with the study of very dilute solutions of polyacrylic acid in water (weight concentration about 0.1%). These fluids seem to exhibit a yield effect. The determination of the fully developed velocity field by laser velocimetry allows us an accurate determination of the rheological indexn which is an essential parameter for the proposed rheological relationship: . Other constants can be determined from classical rheological experiments (high shear strain). It is possible to correct the experimental pressure gradientP/L so as to get the real value, noted asdp/dz. An analysis of the flow in an abrupt expansion shows that the yield effect strongly influences the recirculation zones.

Verallgemeinerter Ausdruck für den Einfluß temperaturabhängiger Stoffwerte auf den turbulenten Wärmeübergang

Zusammenfassung Semiempirische Beziehungen für den turbulenten Wärmeübergang müssen bei starker Temperaturabhängigkeit der Stoffwerte einen entsprechenden KorrekturfaktorK _s in bezug auf den quasi-isothermen Wärmeübergang enthalten. Nach einer kritischen Übersicht der bis heute empfohlenen Ausdrücke für den KorrekturfaktorK _s , die früher für Heizung und Kühlung gesondert, dann wieder für beide Arten des Wärmeüberganges in einer einzigen Formel und neuerdings wieder gesondert aufgestellt wurden, und zwar für Flüssigkeiten und Gase immer getrennt, wird auf Grund der dimensionslos geschriebenen Differentialgleichungen für die Bewegung, die Energie und die Randbedingungen gezeigt, von welchen Größen der Korrekturfaktor abhängt. Für den allgemeinsten Fall, den mit nichtlinearen Temperaturcharakteristiken der Stoffwerte wirdK _s von sechs schon normierten Variablen abhängen. Es müssen folgende Einschränkungen gemacht werden: Ausschluß flüssiger Metalle, einphasige Strömungen in geraden Kanälen, ohne Dissipationswärme, ohne Strahlung und natürliche Konvektion. Es wird eine einzige Beziehung für nicht lineare Temperaturcharakteristiken hergeleitet, die nicht mehr zwischen Gasen und Flüssigkeiten, Heizung und Kühlung unterscheiden muß und sieben Variable enthält. Die Resultate der bis heute bekannten Beziehungen mit nur einer Variablen stimmen mit denen hier abgeleiteten gut überein.

A generalized expression for the influence of temperature-dependent physical properties on turbulent heat transfer

Semiempirical relations for turbulent heat transfer with considerable influence of temperature on physical properties must contain a corrective factorK _s in relation to quasiisothermal heat transfer. After a critical review of previously recommended expressions for this corrective factorK _s (which was in former times taken into account by different expressions for heating and cooling, then combined in one formula for both kinds of heat transfer and recently separated again, all the time allowing for fluids and gases in different expressions), the author shows from the dimensionless equations of motion, energy and of boundary conditions the variables on which the corrective factor depends. For the general case of non-linear temperature characteristics of physical propertiesK _s depends on six dimensionless variables. The following limitations of validity are necessary: onephase currents (fluid metals excluded) in straight channels without viscous dissipation, without radiation and natural convection. One single relation for nonlinear temperature-characteristics, containing seven variables, is derived, making no difference between gases and liquids or heating and cooling. Results of the relations known until now, which contain only one variable, agree well with those derived here.
