Flow properties—continued

Air-blown asphalts, more resistant to weather and changes ia temperature than the types mentioned previously are produced by batch and continuous methods. Air-blown asphalts, of diverse viscosities and flow properties with added fillers, polymers, solvents, and ia water emulsions, provide products for many appHcations ia the roofing industry. [Pg.364]

The flow behavior of the polymer blends is quite complex, influenced by the equilibrium thermodynamic, dynamics of phase separation, morphology, and flow geometry [2]. The flow properties of a two phase blend of incompatible polymers are determined by the properties of the component, that is the continuous phase while adding a low-viscosity component to a high-viscosity component melt. As long as the latter forms a continuous phase, the viscosity of the blend remains high. As soon as the phase inversion [2] occurs, the viscosity of the blend falls sharply, even with a relatively low content of low-viscosity component. Therefore, the S-shaped concentration dependence of the viscosity of blend of incompatible polymers is an indication of phase inversion. The temperature dependence of the viscosity of blends is determined by the viscous flow of the dispersion medium, which is affected by the presence of a second component. [Pg.611]

Chemorheology is concerned with the chemical kinetics and the associated flow properties of a model reacting system. Energetic composite rheology is a continuously evolving process. The initial slurry viscosity is determined by the system temperature, plasticizer content... [Pg.712]

Washout experiments can be used to measure the residence time distribution in continuous-flow systems. A good step change must be made at the reactor inlet. The concentration of tracer molecules leaving the system must be accurately measured at the outlet. If the tracer has a background concentration, it is subtracted from the experimental measurements. The flow properties of the tracer molecules must be similar to those of the reactant molecules. It is usually possible to meet these requirements in practice. The major theoretical requirement is that the inlet and outlet streams have unidirectional flows so that molecules that once enter the system stay in until they exit, never to return. Systems with unidirectional inlet and outlet streams are closed in the sense of the axial dispersion model i.e., Di = D ut = 0- See Sections 9.3.1 and 15.2.2. Most systems of chemical engineering importance are closed to a reasonable approximation. [Pg.541]

In conclusion, the field of mbber and mbber nanocomposites continues to be a very fertile area of research, with many new advances in both basic and applied topics of research. The flow properties of filled mbber compounds arise from their heterogeneous nature and the strong interactions that... [Pg.797]

Although they are a relatively small volume product—approximately 75,000 tons produced in 1949 (126)—interest in asphalt emulsion has continued at a high level. Abraham (6) has reviewed the patent literature relative to the types of emulsifying agents used, while commercial practice has been discussed by Day (16). The most common emulsifiers are sodium or potassium soaps of tall oil, abietic acid, or Vinsol resin, or colloidal clays such as bentonite for adhesive base emulsions. Lyttleton and Traxler (53) studied the flow properties of asphalt emulsions, and Traxler (122) has investigated the effect of size distribution of the dispersed particles on emulsion viscosity. A decrease in particle size uniformity was found to be accompanied by a decrease in consistency because particles of various size assume a more loosely packed condition than do those of the same size. [Pg.271]

The simplest model assumes ideal elastic behavior (Figure 7.12A). At a stress below the yield stress (Fy), the sample behaves perfectly elastically. In this region, a modulus of elasticity can be determined. At the yield stress, the sample flows. It continues to flow until the stress is lowered again to below the yield stress value. Therefore, both the elastic modulus and yield stress describe the behavior of a plastic material. They can be determined easily by compression testing. The continuous network of fat crystals in a fat bears the stress below the yield stress and therefore contributes solid or elastic properties to the material (Narine and Marangoni, 1999a). [Pg.265]

At stationary state, all the properties of a system are independent of temperature. Stationary states resemble equilibrium states in their invariance with time however, they differ in that flows still continue to occur and entropy is produced in the system. If a property is conservative, then the divergence of the corresponding flow must vanish for example, dp/dt = div J. Therefore, the steady flow of a conservative quantity must be source-free and in stationary states the flows of conservative properties are constant. [Pg.430]

For cncnrrfnr ga<-1igiikLHnwnflnuj over a packed bed, various flow regimes such as trickle-flow (gas continuous), pulsed flow, spray flow, and bubble flow (liquid continuous) can be obtained, depending upon the gas and liquid flow rates, the nature and size- of packing, and the nature and properties of the liquid. The flow-regime transition is usually defined as the condition at which a slight increase in gas or liquid flow rate causes a sharp increase in the root-mean-square wall-pressure fluctuations. [Pg.180]

The first studies of CO2 dispersions at pressures around 10 MPa (1,500 psi) were reported in 1978 (48,49). Before that time virtually all experiments were performed on true foams (i.e., near atmospheric pressure on dispersions of a low-density gas in a continuous liquid phase). For this historical reason, the literature on FOR often refers to high-pressure dispersions as "foams, even though the phase, physical, and flow properties of a dispersion in which both phases have a liquid-like density and compressibility cannot always be assumed similar to those of a true foam (66). For many (but not all) mechanistic studies it may be appropriate to employ a foam, and atmospheric pressure emulsions are appropriate stand-ins for high-pressure emulsions of the same chemical composition. However, atmospheric pressure foams cannot be used when the correct answer depends on replicating all of the physical properties of a dispersion that exists only at high pressure. [Pg.13]

Dispersion Formation, Subdivision, and Coalescence. The ability to create and control dispersions at distances far from the injection well will be critical to the field-use of dispersion-based mobility control. The early studies of Bernard and Holm, followed by more recent work by Hirasaki, Falls, and co-workers, and others showed that the flow properties of surfactant-induced dispersions depend on the presence and composition of oil, volume ratio of the dispersed and continuous phases, capillary pressure, and capillary number (35,37,39-41,52-54,68). However, it is the size of the droplets or bubbles that dominates dispersion flow (39,68). Moreover, early debates on the ratio of droplet (or bubble) size to pore size have been resolved by ample evidence showing that, under commonly employed conditions, droplets are larger than pores (39). Only for very large capillary numbers (i.e., for interfacial tensions of ca. [Pg.14]

The effect of different flow properties on heat transfer to canned dispersions undergoing intermittent axial rotation was studied by Tattiyakul et al. (2002b). In addition to the 3.5% cornstarch dispersion discussed above, a 5% CWM dispersion whose rheological data are shown in Figure 8-9 and a tomato concentrate that followed a simpler thermo-rheological behavior were studied. Because of the high apparent viscosity over a wide temperature range of the CWM dispersion, it had the slowest time-temperature profile (not shown here). Results on the effect of continuous axial rotation on heat transfer to a canned starch dispersion can be found in Tattiyakul (2001). [Pg.462]

In this book, we review the most basic distinctions and similarities among the rheological (or flow) properties of various complex fluids. We focus especially on their linear viscoelastic behavior, as measured by the frequency-dependent storage and loss moduli G and G" (see Section 1.3.1.4), and on the flow curve— that is, the relationship between the "shear viscosity q and the shear rate y. The storage and loss moduli reveal the mechanical properties of the material at rest, while the flow curve shows how the material changes in response to continuous deformation. A measurement of G and G" is often the most useful way of mechanically characterizing a complex material, while the flow curve q(y ) shows how readily the material can be processed, or shaped into a useful product. The... [Pg.4]

Longitudinal dispersion in the continuous phase (the liquid phase for a bubble column, and the emulsion phase for a fluidized catalyst bed) is closely related to flow properties of the equipment. Here, we wish to describe the longitudinal dispersion phenomena in terms of the fluid-dynamic properties of the equipment. The prime purpose is to test whether the fluid-dynamic analysis developed earlier is sound, but lon-... [Pg.330]
