Abstract: | Summary A transition has been displayed in a concentrated solution of a linear chain polymer flowing close to a rotating disk. For a critical angular speed of rotation, a discontinuity of the mass transfer rate by diffusion and convection, as well as the existence of flow birefringence are observed. This transition is interpreted as an effect of conformational change (coiled to stretched shape) of the polymer under the local strain in the fluid.With 4 figures |
