Discuss the dependence of the friction phase diagram on temperature, mono-layer density, velocity, load and solvent vapor. Explain why each of these variables will drive one to the right or left in Fig. XII-8. 

Thus one must rely on macroscopic theories and empirical adjustments for the determination of potentials of mean force. Such empirical adjustments use free energy data as solubilities, partition coefficients, virial coefficients, phase diagrams, etc., while the frictional terms are derived from diffusion coefficients and macroscopic theories for hydrodynamic interactions. In this whole field of enquiry progress is slow and much work (and thought ) will be needed in the future. 

Figure 7.4 illustrates the phase diagram of the 4He isotope in the low-temperature condensation region. The thermodynamic properties of 4He are fundamentally distinct from those of the trace isotope 3He, and the two isotopes spontaneously phase-separate near IK. Both isotopes exhibit the spectacular phenomenon of superfluidity, the near-vanishing of viscosity and frictional resistance to flow. The strong dependence on fermionic (3He) or bosonic (4He) character and bizarre hydrodynamic properties are manifestations of the quantum fluid nature of both species. 3He is not discussed further here.

Positions a" through "i" on the diagrams correspond to Fig. 7.13(a) through (f) and are used to describe microstructural evolution in the stir zone for friction stir welding on Ti-6AI-4V.

First, we note that in order to predict a phase diagram as a function of shear rate, we must account for the variation with temperature of the molecular dynamics. It is well established that the terminal relaxation time changes rapidly with temperature, due to changes in the monomeric friction coefficient, and a suitable description of the behaviour is provided by the phenomenological WLF formula [68],... 

Dynamical phase diagram (tuning packing fraction and frictional weakening)... 

Evaluation of each term in Eq. (15-51) is straightforward, except for the friction factor. One approach is to treat the two-phase mixture as a pseudo-single phase fluid, with appropriate properties. The friction factor is then found from the usual Newtonian methods (Moody diagram, Churchill equation, etc.) using an appropriate Reynolds number ... 

An interesting behavior is shown in Figure 3.4 and was pointed out by Revellin and Thome [16]. Similarly to the classic Moody diagram in single-phase flow, according to their results, three zones were distinguishable when plotting the variation of the two-phase friction factor versus the two-phase Reynolds number, as follows a laminar zone for < 2000, a transition zone for 2000 < Repp < 8000 and a turbulent zone for Repp >8000. 

Hence, the cluster model of pol5nners amorphous state structure and the model of WS aggregates friction at translational motion in viscous medium [24] combination allows to describe solid-phase polymers behavior on cold flow (forced high-elasticity) plateau not only qualitatively, but also quantitatively. In addition the cluster model explains these polymers behavior features on the indicated part of diagram a - , which are not responded to explanation within the frame woiks of other models [14].
