In this work, an additive model for the prediction of the rheological and mechanical properties of monopolymer blends made by virgin and reprocessed components is proposed. A polypropylene sample has been reprocessed more times in an extruder and monopolymer blends have been prepared by simulating an industrial process. The scraps are exposed to regrinding and are melt reprocessed before mixing with the virgin polymer. The reprocessed polymer is, then, subjected to some thermomechanical degradation. Rheological and mechanical experimental data have been compared with the theoretical predictions. The results obtained showed that the values of this simple additive model are a very good fit for the experimental values of both rheological and mechanical properties.

AbstractThe structural stabilities of cobalt mononitride (CoN) and nickel mono-nitride (NiN) were investigated among the crystal structures, namely, NaCl (B1), CsCl (B2), and zinc blende (B3). It was found that the zinc blende (B3) phase was the most stable phase for both nitrides. A pressure-induced structural phase transition from B3 to B1 phase was predicted in these nitrides. The computed lattice parameter values were in agreement with the experimental values and other theoretical values. The electronic structures reveal that these nitrides are metallic at zero pressure. The computed elastic constants indicate that CoN and NiN are mechanically stable in the B1 and B3 phases. The variations of the elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and elastic anisotropy factor with pressure were investigated. The Debye temperature θD values are reported for both the nitrides in their B1 and B3 phases. The high-pressure NaCl phase of both CoN and NiN were found to be ferromagnetic.

Level Of Agreement

A model is proposed for the ignition of quiescent multidroplet fuel mists which assumes that chemical reaction rates are infinitely fast, and that the sole criterion for successful ignition is the generation, by the spark, of an adequate concentration of fuel vapour in the ignition zone. From analysis of the relevant heat transfer and evaporation processes involved, ex­pressions are derived for the prediction of quenching distance and minimum ignition energy. Support for the model is demonstrated by a close level of agreement between theoretical predictions of minimum ignition energy and the corresponding experimental values obtained using a specially designed ignition apparatus in which ignition energies are measured for several different fuels, over wide ranges of pressure, mixture composition and mean drop size. The results show that both quenching distance and mini­mum ignition energy are strongly dependent on droplet size, and are also dependent, but to a lesser extent, on air density, equivalence ratio and fuel volatility. An expression is derived to indicate the range of drop sizes over which the proposed model is valid.

The measuring of the constants of single-crystals requires the availability of crystals of relatively big size. In this paper the elastic constants of the single crystals of magnesium alloy with zinc, zirconium, and rare earth metals (REM) were determined by means of the experimental anisotropy of Young’s modulus and integral characteristics of texture (ICT), which were found from pole figures. Using these constants the anisotropy of Young’s modulus of alloy sheet ZE10 was calculated. Deviation of calculated values from experimental values did not exceed 2%.

A review of studies of the mechanical properties of human and animal heart tissues has been performed. Based on literature data, a form of approximating function is found for the dependence of the Young’s modulus of the ventricles of the human heart on the magnitude of the deformation. The average values of the Young’s modulus and other elastic constants were calculated and compared with the known experimental values. The coefficients C1 and C2 of the two-parameter hyperelastic myocardial Mooney-Rivlin model are calculated.

We have used the molecular-dynamic method for the calculation of the structural, dynamic and elastic properties of group BeS , BeSe and BeTe compounds for temperature ranging from 300 to 1200 K. Tersoff potential has been used to model the interaction between the groups II–VI compound atoms. The structural properties of cubic BeS , BeSe and BeTe have been calculated, and good agreement between the calculated and experimental values have been found. We have also predicted the elastic constants and diffusion coefficients of BeS , BeSe and BeTe . The values found compare very well with the theoretical results. For the temperature range under study, all elastic constants and dynamic properties show a softening with increasing temperature very similar to the theoretical calculations.

The neutron-proton (n-p) isovector pairing effect on the nuclear moment of inertia has been studied within the framework of the BCS approximation. An analytical expression of the moment of inertia, that explicitly depends upon the n-p pairing, has been established using the Inglis cranking model. The model was first tested numerically for nuclei such as N = Z and whose experimental values of the moment of inertia are known (i.e. such as 16 ≤ Z ≤ 40). It has been shown that the n-p pairing effect is non-negligible and clearly improves the theoretical predictions when compared to those of the pairing between like particles. Secondly, predictions have been established for even-even proton-rich rare-earth nuclei. It has been shown that the n-p pairing effect is non-negligible when N = Z and rapidly decreases with increasing values of (N-Z).

Experimental Values

Above a given temperature called TA, the chromium rich oxide which has been developed on the surface of Haynes 230® and model NiCrWC alloys at a lower temperature becomes unstable in impure helium: carbon monoxide is released. Actually, oxide is reduced by carbon from the alloy. A thermodynamic model is developed to rationalize the variation of TA as a function of the partial pressure of CO in the gas phase. It was found that, at the early stages of the scale reduction, the relevant reaction occurs at the oxide/metal interface between chromia and carbon from the alloy. The interfacial activity of carbon in the alloy can be calculated based on measurements of the interfacial weight percentage of chromium and using ThermoCalc® software. Excellent agreement is observed between experimental values of TA and theoretical predictions.
