Dilation rate

If it concerns a monolayer of an amphiphile that is insoluble in the bordering phases, the modulus is purely elastic (although at strong compression, i.e., large AA/A, the surface layer may collapse), and SD is constant in time and independent of the dilatation rate. If the surfactant is soluble, exchange of surfactant between interface and bulk occurs, and Esr> will be time dependent. This means that also an apparent surface dilatational viscosity can be measured ... 

For constant dilation rate Q Joos van Uffelen discussed the dynamic interfacial behaviour (1993a, b). They compared the theory of Loglio, summarised by Miller et al. (1991), with the one presented by van Voorst Vader et al. (1964). For interfaces with constant dilation rate the relation... 

When the liquid flows through the tube T with a constant flow rate the interface moves downwards with the velocity v. Under the assumption that the liquid film adheres to the wall of the capillary new surface is created by the receding liquid meniscus. Assuming a hemispherical meniscus, the dilation rate is given by... 

Depending on the flow rate v a stationary state is reached (Van Voorst Vader et al. 1964) and the surface or interfacial tension in function of the dilation rate results... 

In the elastic range, the Poisson s ratio, Vei = —/, can be used to relate the amplitude of transverse constriction with axial strain. The volume strain depends on this material coefficient by = (1 — 2vei)e - Similarly, for nonlinear materials, the tangent Poisson s ratio Vt = —d i/d 3 may be introduced at large strain, so that coefficient is also obtained from the instantaneous slope of the volume strain versus axial strain from (1 — 2vt ) = d v/d 3. In this paper, the latter slope will be called dilatation rate (or damage rate ) and denoted by the variable A. 

When it comes to volume strain, all the specimens show different degrees of dilatation behavior and the dilatancy rate slows down with the increase of axial strain. The dilatation also increases with the decrease of the confining pressure. When the confining pressure is low. 

All the strains apart from the elastic strains will now be incorporated into an irreversible strain. Using the same sort of arguments as used in the application of irreversible thermodynamics to fluid flow (29) it can be shown that the rate of entropy production in the system is proportional to (- 9). If the volume dilation rate is defined = th ... 

As there are no changes in elastic strain the volume dilation rate and the creep rate at any radius in the fuel pin are related to the displacement rates by... 

If the creep rates in both fuel and clad are directly proportional to stress, and the dilation rates are functions of radius only, then integration of Eqs. (47) and (48) provides the solution immediately. For other cases Pe and y are dependent on u(a) and Z. Initial values are guessed and Eqs. (47) and (48) iterated until consistent values of the constants are found. This method is the basis of the DEFORM computer program (37). DEFORM however uses u(c)/c and Z as the constants to be determined. 

Colloidal dispersions often display non-Newtonian behaviour, where the proportionality in equation (02.6.2) does not hold. This is particularly important for concentrated dispersions, which tend to be used in practice. Equation (02.6.2) can be used to define an apparent viscosity, happ, at a given shear rate. If q pp decreases witli increasing shear rate, tire dispersion is called shear tliinning (pseudoplastic) if it increases, tliis is known as shear tliickening (dilatant). The latter behaviour is typical of concentrated suspensions. If a finite shear stress has to be applied before tire suspension begins to flow, tliis is known as tire yield stress. The apparent viscosity may also change as a function of time, upon application of a fixed shear rate, related to tire fonnation or breakup of particle networks. Thixotropic dispersions show a decrease in q, pp with time, whereas an increase witli time is called rheopexy. 

Dilatant fluids (also known as shear thickening fluids) show an increase in viscosity with an increase in shear rate. Such an increase in viscosity may, or may not, be accompanied by a measurable change in the volume of the fluid (Metzener and Whitlock, 1958). Power law-type rheologicaJ equations with n > 1 are usually used to model this type of fluids. 

In packed beds of particles possessing small pores, dilute aqueous solutions of hydroly2ed polyacrylamide will sometimes exhibit dilatant behavior iastead of the usual shear thinning behavior seen ia simple shear or Couette flow. In elongational flow, such as flow through porous sandstone, flow resistance can iacrease with flow rate due to iacreases ia elongational viscosity and normal stress differences. The iacrease ia normal stress differences with shear rate is typical of isotropic polymer solutions. Normal stress differences of anisotropic polymers, such as xanthan ia water, are shear rate iadependent (25,26). 

The apparent viscosity, defined as du/dj) drops with increased rate of strain. Dilatant fluids foUow a constitutive relation similar to that for pseudoplastics except that the viscosities increase with increased rate of strain, ie, n > 1 in equation 22. Dilatancy is observed in highly concentrated suspensions of very small particles such as titanium oxide in a sucrose solution. Bingham fluids display a linear stress—strain curve similar to Newtonian fluids, but have a nonzero intercept termed the yield stress (eq. 23) ... 

Laser ablation systems hold considerable promise if restenosis (reblocking of the arteries) rates are reduced. The rate as of 1995 is 30%, typically within six months. Mechanical or atherectomy devices to cut, shave, or pulverize plaque have been tested extensively in coronary arteries. Some of these have also been approved for peripheral use. The future of angioplasty, beyond the tremendous success of conventional balloon catheters, depends on approaches that can reduce restenosis rates. For example, if appHcation of a dmg to the lesion site turns out to be the solution to restenosis, balloon catheters would be used for both dilating the vessel and deUvering the dmg. An understanding of what happens to the arterial walls, at the cellular level, when these walls are subjected to the various types of angioplasty may need to come first. 

In the Audibert-Amu dilatometer test (91), a thin cylinder of compressed powdered coal contacting a steel piston is heated at a rate not over 5°C/min. The piston movement is used to calculate the percent dilation. 

A wide variety of nonnewtonian fluids are encountered industrially. They may exhibit Bingham-plastic, pseudoplastic, or dilatant behavior and may or may not be thixotropic. For design of equipment to handle or process nonnewtonian fluids, the properties must usually be measured experimentally, since no generahzed relationships exist to pi e-dicl the properties or behavior of the fluids. Details of handling nonnewtonian fluids are described completely by Skelland (Non-Newtonian Flow and Heat Transfer, Wiley, New York, 1967). The generalized shear-stress rate-of-strain relationship for nonnewtonian fluids is given as... 

Vorticity The relative motion between two points in a fluid can be decomposed into three components rotation, dilatation, and deformation. The rate of deformation tensor has been defined. Dilatation refers to the volumetric expansion or compression of the fluid, and vanishes for incompressible flow. Rotation is described bv a tensor (Oy = dvj/dxj — dvj/dxi. The vector of vorticity given by one-half the... 

Power consumption for impellers in pseudoplastic, Bingham plastic, and dilatant nonnewtonian fluids may be calculated by using the correlating lines of Fig. 18-17 if viscosity is obtained from viscosity-shear rate cuiwes as described here. For a pseudoplastic fluid, viscosity decreases as shear rate increases. A Bingham plastic is similar to a pseudoplastic fluid but requires that a minimum shear stress be exceeded for any flow to occur. For a dilatant fluid, viscosity increases as shear rate increases. 

If the hub removal is necessary, such as required on compressor with non-split seals, a tapered hub fit on the shaft should be used. The removable hubs should have tapped puller holes. The shaft should be keyless with the preferred method of installation and removal by use of hydraulic dilation. Two injection ports 180° apart should be used whether injection is through the shaft or through the hub. Shrink fits should be 2 to 2.5 mil/in. of diameter. API 671 rcL ommends 1,5 mil/in. minimum, but experience indicates the heavier shrink may be required. For the juncture rating calculation, a f ra lion value of. 12 is recommended.
