A simple capillary viscometer was used to demonstrate how one obtains the true shear stress-shear rate rheological properties of a polymer solution. The methodology, described in this paper, shows how the pressure drop caused by the friction of the liquid flowing through the tube is separated from the pressure drops associated with entrance and exit effects and the elastic energy of the polymer solution.

Rolling contact continuously variable transmissions (C.V.T.) transmit forces through a highly viscous spot between rolling-slipping contacts. The mechanics of the spot are characterized by complex elastohydrodynamic conditions and fluid properties only partially determinable at the extreme pressures of operation. A computer simulation of the spot mechanics based on extensions of research in less complex elastohydrodynamic situations was developed. Comparisons with parallel tests on a commercial C. V. T. verify that the simulation described in a good guide to design of this class of transmissions.

Development of technology for the processing of cross liked EVA waste, followed by the use of polymer / polymer composite PVC / EVA as a filler. Method. The determination of the MFI was carried out in accordance with ISO 1133: 1997 on a capillary viscometer of constant pressure at a temperature of (190 ± 0,5) ° С and a weight of 2,16 kg. The thermostability  and  melting  point  are  determined  using  the  RM-200C  Hapro  rheometer  plastograph.  The mechanical properties were determined on a bursting machine according to the ASTM D638. Hardness - using  a  hard-gauge  with  a  Shore-D  scale,  the  density  by  hydrostatic  weighing  method  on  the  analytical scales RADWAG AS-X2.

A modified quick, easy, cheap, efficient, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method coupled to gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) was developed for simultaneous determination of selected electronegative pesticides in fruits and vegetables with high water content. The chosen compounds are commonly detected in fruit and vegetable crops, and some of their metabolites have even been found in human urine. In addition, some of them are known or suspected carcinogens according to the International Agency for Research of Cancer. Extraction and clean up parameters were optimized, thus the original QuEChERS method was modified to decrease solvent usage, in accordance with ‘green chemistry’ principles. The proposed methodology was validated in terms of selectivity, specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The obtained limits of detection (LODs) for all investigated pesticides ranged from 5.6 µg·kg−1 to 15 µg·kg−1 and limits of quantification (LOQs) from 17 µg·kg−1 to 45 µg·kg−1. The obtained data demonstrated the good reproducibility and stability of the procedure in the tested concentration range up to 10 mg·kg−1, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 10%. Recoveries for spiked pear samples at LOQ level for each pesticide were from 90% to 107% with RSDs lower than 9.6%. The suitability of the developed procedure was tested on various fruit and vegetable samples available on the market at different seasons. The proposed methodology is applicable for detection and monitoring of selected pesticides not only in fruits and vegetables with high water content, but also in samples containing large amounts of pigments and dyes.

AbstractRecent mathematical models treat a natural snow-pack as a mixture body consisting of solid ice grains, liquid water, and a gas made up of air and water vapour. Such a model requires two independent constitutive equations for the two independent volume fractions. However, so far only one equation, a power law relating the liquid-water content to capillary pressure, has been suggested, by analogy with the so-called “characteristic” equation for liquid water in soils. Experimental data from drainage tests on snow columns may be used to determine the characteristic equation for snow for relatively high water contents. However, the experimental method is not valid when water exists in isolated inclusions in the snow, i.e. in the pendular regime. In this paper a theoretical method is used to derive two independent volume-fraction laws for snow in the pendular regime.
