Theoretical Argument

The wicking of a model yield-stress fluid (hair-gel solution in water) in a capillary tube is studied experimentally. By changing the hair-gel concentration in the solution, the yield stress varied from 5 to 20 Pa. A simple force balance between capillary and viscous forces suggests that the fluid should stop flowing as soon as the wall shear stress reaches the yield value, at a critical distance from the inlet which is independent of the tube diameter. However, this theoretical argument is not confirmed by experiments, which show that the fluid moves well beyond the critical distance determined theoretically, and that there is a well-defined effect of the tube diameter. It is proposed that such behavior may be determined by wall slip, which causes the flow to switch from the Poiseuille flow regime to the plug flow regime.

Capillary Extrusion

The influences of shear rate and vulcanizing system on the rheological properties and melt fracture of natural rubber compounds were investigated by using a rate-controlled capillary rheometer. The rheological properties of rubber compounds were characterized with respect to the apparent viscosity and extrudate swell. The measured results indicated that the apparent viscosity tended to decrease with increasing shear rate. This was due to the pseudoplastic behavior of molten rubber compound. It was evident that rubber compound using EV system showed the lowest apparent viscosity as compared to those obtained by CV and NS systems, respectively. This was due to the occurrences of premature crosslink at the skin layer and the wall slip of rubber compound during the flow in capillary die. Furthermore, the onset of smooth surface was also observed which depending on the types of crosslink at the skin layer.
