Rheological Modeling

This work aims to highlight the importance of interphase triggered from interdiffusion at neighboring layers on controlling the interfacial flow instability of multilayer coextrusion based on a compatible bilayer system consist of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) melt streams. A fundamental rheological measurement on the bilayer structures provides a good strategy to probe the mutual diffusion process occurred at neighboring layers and to quantify the rheology and thickness of the interphase generated thereof. By implementing steady shear measurements on the multilayer’s, subtle interfacial slippage can be observed at a condition of short welding time and rather high shear rate due to the disentanglement of chains at the interphase. Pre-shear at an early stage on the multilayer was found to greatly promote the homogenizing process by inducing branched structures and hence increasing interfacial area. In coextrusion, some key classical decisive parameters concerning the interfacial instability phenomena such as viscosity ratio, thickness ratio and elasticity ratio, etc. were highlighted. These key factors that are significant in controlling the interfacial stability of coextrusion in an incompatible system seem not that important in a compatible system. In comparison to the severe flow instability observed in the coextrusion of PMMA/PE incompatible bilayer, the coextrusion of PMMA/PVDF compatible bilayer appears to be smooth without apparent interfacial flow instability due to the presence of the interphase. Interdiffusion can reduce (even eliminate) the interfacial flow instability of coextrusion despite of the very high viscosity ratio of PVDF versus PMMA at low temperatures. Indeed, in the coextrusion process, on one hand, the interdiffusion should be studied by taking into account of the effect of polymer chain orientation which was demonstrated to decelerate the diffusion coefficient. On the other hand, the interfacial shear stress was able to promote mixing and homogenizing process at the interface, which favours the development of the interphase and guarantees the stable interfacial flow. The degree of the interphase is related to a lot of parameters like contact time, processing temperature, interfacial shear stress and compatibility of the polymers, etc. Therefore, apart from the classical mechanical parameters, the interphase created from the interdiffusion should be taken into consideration as an important factor on determining the interfacial instability phenomena.

Relationship Model

Based on existing methods and results of other research, the bond-slip relationship model is given and the distrubition of shear stress of concrete beam strengthened by FRP in salt water is derived. Through a specific example to analyze the distribution of interfacial shear stress, and the different effects caused by different aggressive environment on the interfacial properties. The results show that: 1) Interfacial shear stress will sharply reduce with increasing distance from the end; 2) Different environments have different effects on the interface properties of FRP strengthened beams. Salt water erosion influnce the interfacial properties of FRP strengthened beams significantly.

Condensation of a vapor flow inside a horizontal rectangular duct, using the bottom plate as the only condensing surface, was experimentally investigated. The experimental measurements included condensate film thickness and heat transfer coefficients with R-113 and FC-72. The condensate film thickness, measured with an ultrasonic transducer, was used to obtain the local heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer coefficient increased with increasing inlet vapor velocity. The rate of increase was enhanced noticeably after the appearance of interfacial waves. Within the limited range of the experimental variables, a correlation between St and RegL was developed by a linear regression analysis. However, because of the effect of the interfacial waves, instead of a single correlation for the entire range of RegL, two separate equations (one for the wave-free regime and another for the regime with waves) were found. Analytical predictions of heat transfer rates in the annular condensation regime require the proper modeling of the interfacial shear stress. A properly validated interfacial shear stress model with condensation is not yet available. The measurement of condensate film thickness at several axial locations opens the door for determining the local interfacial stress and, hence, a model for the interfacial shear stress.
