Contact static

Friction coefficient of material depends on surface properties of other material in contact." " Static coefficient of friction was 0.36, 0.31, 0.4, 0.54 between steel and polypropylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, and polyamide 6, respectively (respective kinetic coefficients of fiiction were 0.26, 0.38, 0.27, 0.37).

The paper discusses the application of dynamic indentation method and apparatus for the evaluation of viscoelastic properties of polymeric materials. The three-element model of viscoelastic material has been used to calculate the rigidity and the viscosity. Using a measurements of the indentation as a function of a current velocity change on impact with the material under test, the contact force and the displacement diagrams as a function of time are plotted. Experimental results of the testing of polyvinyl chloride cable coating by dynamic indentation method and data of the static tensile test are presented. 

The basic observation is that a thin plate, such as a microscope cover glass or piece of platinum foil, will support a meniscus whose weight both as measured statically or by detachment is given very accurately by the ideal equation (assuming zero contact angle) ... 

In the absence of skidding, the coefficient of static friction applies at each instant, the portion of the tire that is in contact with the pavement has zero velocity. Rolling tire friction is more of the type discussed in Section XII-2E. If, however, skidding occurs, then since rubber is the softer material, the coefficient of friction as given by Eq. XII-5 is determined mainly by the properties of the rubber used and will be nearly the same for various types of pavement. Actual values of p, turn out to be about unity. 

A number of friction studies have been carried out on organic polymers in recent years. Coefficients of friction are for the most part in the normal range, with values about as expected from Eq. XII-5. The detailed results show some serious complications, however. First, n is very dependent on load, as illustrated in Fig. XlI-5, for a copolymer of hexafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene [31], and evidently the area of contact is determined more by elastic than by plastic deformation. The difference between static and kinetic coefficients of friction was attributed to transfer of an oriented film of polymer to the steel rider during sliding and to low adhesion between this film and the polymer surface. Tetrafluoroethylene (Telfon) has a low coefficient of friction, around 0.1, and in a detailed study, this lower coefficient and other differences were attributed to the rather smooth molecular profile of the Teflon molecule [32]. 

The Washburn equation has most recently been confirmed for water and cyclohexane in glass capillaries ranging from 0.3 to 400 fim in radii [46]. The contact angle formed by a moving meniscus may differ, however, from the static one [46, 47]. Good and Lin [48] found a difference in penetration rate between an outgassed capillary and one with a vapor adsorbed film, and they propose that the driving force be modified by a film pressure term. 

Wlien an electrical coimection is made between two metal surfaces, a contact potential difference arises from the transfer of electrons from the metal of lower work function to the second metal until their Femii levels line up. The difference in contact potential between the two metals is just equal to the difference in their respective work fiinctions. In the absence of an applied emf, there is electric field between two parallel metal plates arranged as a capacitor. If a potential is applied, the field can be eliminated and at this point tire potential equals the contact potential difference of tlie two metal plates. If one plate of known work fiinction is used as a reference electrode, the work function of the second plate can be detennined by measuring tliis applied potential between the plates [ ]. One can detemiine the zero-electric-field condition between the two parallel plates by measuring directly the tendency for charge to flow through the external circuit. This is called the static capacitor method [59].

The sohd can be contacted with the solvent in a number of different ways but traditionally that part of the solvent retained by the sohd is referred to as the underflow or holdup, whereas the sohd-free solute-laden solvent separated from the sohd after extraction is called the overflow. The holdup of bound hquor plays a vital role in the estimation of separation performance. In practice both static and dynamic holdup are measured in a process study, other parameters of importance being the relationship of holdup to drainage time and percolation rate. The results of such studies permit conclusions to be drawn about the feasibihty of extraction by percolation, the holdup of different bed heights of material prepared for extraction, and the relationship between solute content of the hquor and holdup. If the percolation rate is very low (in the case of oilseeds a minimum percolation rate of 3 x 10 m/s is normally required), extraction by immersion may be more effective. Percolation rate measurements and the methods of utilizing the data have been reported (8,9) these indicate that the effect of solute concentration on holdup plays an important part in determining the solute concentration in the hquor leaving the extractor. 

Static mixing of gas—Hquid systems can provide good interphase contacting for mass transfer and heat transfer. Specific interfacial area for the SMV (Koch/Sulzer) mixer is related to gas velocity and gas holdup ( ) by the following ... 

Parallel flow. The direction of gas flow is parallel to the surface of the sohds phase. Contacting is primarily at the interface between phases, with possibly some penetration of gas into the voids among the solids near the surface. The solids bed is usually in a static-condition (Fig. 12-30). 

Operating holdup contributes effectively to mass-transfer rate, since it provides residence time for phase contact and surface regeneration via agglomeration and dispersion. Static holdup is hmited in its contribution to mass-transfer rates, as indicated by Thoenes and Kramers [Chem. Eng. ScL, 8, 271 (1958)]. In laminar regions holdup in general has a negative effecl on the efficiency of separation.
