Dynamic material coefficient

The ratio of vertical acceleration to g is known as the dynamic material coefficient or the throw factor T. 

This efficiency of transport term is a function of the conveying conditions through two equipment terms, the dynamic material coefficient (F) and the vibration angle ((3), as well as material-dependent terms. The material dependence will be based on wall and internal friction, material shear strength or cohesion, particle size and density and almost... 

Classical, macroscopic devices to measure friction forces under well-defined loads are called tribometers. To determine the dynamic friction coefficient, the most direct experiment is to slide one surface over the other using a defined load and measure the required drag force. Static friction coefficients can be measured by inclined plane tribometers, where the inclination angle of a plane is increased until a block on top of it starts to slide. There are numerous types of tribometers. One of the most common configurations is the pin-on-disk tribometer (Fig. 11.6). In the pin-on-disk tribometer, friction is measured between a pin and a rotating disk. The end of the pin can be flat or spherical. The load on the pin is controlled. The pin is mounted on a stiff lever and the friction force is determined by measuring the deflection of the lever. Wear coefficients can be calculated from the volume of material lost from the pin during the experiment. 

Last but not least, one should not forget that for practical applications the hardness at room and at a high temperature is only one of many properties which determine the applicability of a material. Further mechanical properties, such as fracture toughness under static and dynamic load, coefficient of friction, corrosion resistance, and reactivity with the material to be machined at room as well as at elevated temperature are decisive for most applications. 

Surface properties The molecular configuration of PTEE imparts a high degree of antiadhesiveness to its surfaces, and for the same reason these surfaces are hardly wettable. PTFE possesses the lowest friction coefficients of all solid materials, between 0.05 and 0.09. The static and dynamic friction coefficients are almost equal, so that there is no seizure or stick-slip action. Wear depends upon the condition and type of the other sliding surface and obviously depends upon the speed and loads. 

The Rheometric Scientific RDA II dynamic analy2er is designed for characteri2ation of polymer melts and soHds in the form of rectangular bars. It makes computer-controUed measurements of dynamic shear viscosity, elastic modulus, loss modulus, tan 5, and linear thermal expansion coefficient over a temperature range of ambient to 600°C (—150°C optional) at frequencies 10 -500 rad/s. It is particularly useful for the characteri2ation of materials that experience considerable changes in properties because of thermal transitions or chemical reactions. 

When the two liquid phases are in relative motion, the mass transfer coefficients in eidrer phase must be related to die dynamical properties of the liquids. The boundary layer thicknesses are related to the Reynolds number, and the diffusive Uansfer to the Schmidt number. Another complication is that such a boundaty cannot in many circumstances be regarded as a simple planar interface, but eddies of material are U ansported to the interface from the bulk of each liquid which change the concenuation profile normal to the interface. In the simple isothermal model there is no need to take account of this fact, but in most indusuial chcumstances the two liquids are not in an isothermal system, but in one in which there is a temperature gradient. The simple stationary mass U ansfer model must therefore be replaced by an eddy mass U ansfer which takes account of this surface replenishment. 

Frictional forces are not proportional to load-friction increases with increasing speed, and the static coefficient of friction is lower than its dynamic one. When two viscoelastic low-modulus materials are run against each other, additional inconsistencies result. 

The value of the coefficient will depend on the mechanism by which heat is transferred, on the fluid dynamics of both the heated and the cooled fluids, on the properties of the materials through which the heat must pass, and on the geometry of the fluid paths. In solids, heat is normally transferred by conduction some materials such as metals have a high thermal conductivity, whilst others such as ceramics have a low conductivity. Transparent solids like glass also transmit radiant energy particularly in the visible part of the spectrum. 

It is also evident that this phenomenological approach to transport processes leads to the conclusion that fluids should behave in the fashion that we have called Newtonian, which does not account for the occurrence of non-Newtonian behavior, which is quite common. This is because the phenomenological laws inherently assume that the molecular transport coefficients depend only upon the thermodyamic state of the material (i.e., temperature, pressure, and density) but not upon its dynamic state, i.e., the state of stress or deformation. This assumption is not valid for fluids of complex structure, e.g., non-Newtonian fluids, as we shall illustrate in subsequent chapters. 

Several material properties exhibit a distinct change over the range of Tg. These properties can be classified into three major categories—thermodynamic quantities (i.e., enthalpy, heat capacity, volume, and thermal expansion coefficient), molecular dynamics quantities (i.e., rotational and translational mobility), and physicochemical properties (i.e., viscosity, viscoelastic proprieties, dielectric constant). Figure 34 schematically illustrates changes in selected material properties (free volume, thermal expansion coefficient, enthalpy, heat capacity, viscosity, and dielectric constant) as functions of temperature over the range of Tg. A number of analytical methods can be used to monitor these and other property changes and... 

The component material balance, when coupled with the heat balance equation and temperature dependence of the kinetic rate coefficient, via the Arrhenius relation, provide the dynamic model for the system. Batch reactor simulation examples are provided by BATCHD, COMPREAC, BATCOM, CASTOR, HYDROL and RELUY.
