Matrix flow relative to the reinforcing fibers is caused by thermal expansion of the fiber-matrix mass within the confines of the die and by the geometrical constriction of the die taper. Once the matrix flow distribution is known, the matrix pressure distribution may be determined using a flow rate-pressure drop relationship. One-dimensional flow models of thermoset pultrusion have been reasonably well verified qualitatively [15-17]. A onedimensional flow model of thermoplastic pultrusion [14,18] has similarly been compared with experimental data and the correlation found to be encouraging [19]. [Pg.331]

In contrast to the flow—or no-flow—situation, there appears to be a consensus on what mechanisms contribute to the pulling resistance of a die although some models choose to neglect certain contributions, the following model includes all contributions discussed in the literature. [Pg.332]


Addition of More Realistic Oxidation Chains. As referred to above, it has been known for some time that hydrocarbon consumption rates observed in chamber experiments cannot be explained by ozone and oxygen atom attack alone. This is discussed by Altshuller and Bufalini (31) where they note that Schuck and Doyle (42) termed the disparity an excess rate. Our previous modeling work treated this by increasing the O3 and O-atom rates of reaction with hydrocarbon. [Pg.113]

Production of a gas, very rich in methane at the same process conditions (p,T), applied within the previous modelling work. [Pg.416]

We introduce, for the sake of convenience, species indices 5 and c for the components of the fluid mixture mimicking solvent species and colloids, and species index m for the matrix component. The matrix and both fluid species are at densities p cr, Pccl, and p cr, respectively. The diameter of matrix and fluid species is denoted by cr, cr, and cr, respectively. We choose the diameter of solvent particles as a length unit, = 1. The diameter of matrix species is chosen similar to a simplified model of silica xerogel [39], cr = 7.055. On the other hand, as in previous theoretical works on bulk colloidal dispersions, see e.g.. Ref. 48 and references therein, we choose the diameter of large fluid particles mimicking colloids, cr = 5. As usual for these dispersions, the concentration of large particles, c, must be taken much smaller than that of the solvent. For all the cases in question we assume = 1.25 x 10 . The model for interparticle interactions is... [Pg.308]

To the best of our knowledge, there was only one attempt to consider inhomogeneous fluids adsorbed in disordered porous media [31] before our recent studies [32,33]. Inhomogeneous rephca Ornstein-Zernike equations, complemented by either the Born-Green-Yvon (BGY) or the Lovett-Mou-Buff-Wertheim (LMBW) equation for density profiles, have been proposed to study adsorption of a fluid near a plane boundary of a disordered matrix, which has been assumed uniform in a half-space [31]. However, the theory has not been complemented by any numerical solution. Our main goal is to consider a simple model for adsorption of a simple fluid in confined porous media and to solve it. In this section we follow our previously reported work [32,33]. [Pg.330]

The important issue of size effects was addressed by Karaborni and Siepmann [368]. They used the same chain model and other details employed in the Karaborni et al. simulations described earlier [362-365] and the 20-carbon chain. System sizes of 16, 64, and 256 molecules were employed with areas of 0.23, 0.25 and 0.27 nm molecule simulations with 64 molecules were also performed for areas ranging from 0.185 to 0.40 nm molecule . The temperature used was 275 K, as opposed to 300 K used in the previously discussed work by Karaborni et al. with the 20-carbon chain. At the smaller areas no significant system size dependence was found. However, the simulation at 0.27 nm molecule showed substantial differences between N = 64 and N = 256 in ordering and tilt angle. The 64-molecule system showed more order than the 256-molecule system and a slightly lower tilt angle. The pressure-area isotherm data for these simulations are not... [Pg.124]

These assumptions are partially different from those introduced in our previous model.10 In that work, in fact, in order to simplify the kinetic description, we assumed that all the steps involved in the formation of both the chain growth monomer CH2 and water (i.e., Equations 16.3 and 16.4a to 16.4e) were a series of irreversible and consecutive steps. Under this assumption, it was possible to describe the rate of the overall CO conversion process by means of a single rate equation. Nevertheless, from a physical point of view, this hypothesis implies that the surface concentration of the molecular adsorbed CO is nil, with the rate of formation of this species equal to the rate of consumption. However, recent in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) studies carried out on the same catalyst adopted in this work, at the typical reaction temperature and in an atmosphere composed by H2 and CO, revealed the presence of a significant amount of molecular CO adsorbed on the catalysts surface.17 For these reasons, in the present work, the hypothesis of the irreversible molecular CO adsorption has been removed. [Pg.308]

An alternative formulation is based on the concept of immediate batch precedence. In contrast to the previous model, allocation and sequencing decisions are divided into two different sets of binary variables. This idea is described in the work presented by Mendez et al. [30], where a single-stage batch plant with multiple equipment in parallel is assumed. Relevant work following this direction can also be found in Gupta and Karimi [31]. Key variables are defined as follows ... [Pg.176]

The power law viscosity model was developed by Ostwald [28] and de Waele [29]. The model has been used in the previous sections of this chapter and it has the form shown in Eq. 3.66. The model works well for resins and processes where the shear rate range of interest is in the shear-thinning domain and the log(ri) is linear with the log (7 ). Standard linear regression analysis is often used to relate the log... [Pg.103]

Previous theoretical work on small Cu clusters has attempted to make a subdivision between covalent and electrostatic contributions to the total adsorption energy. The conclusion was that the major part of the adsorption energy can be associated to the electrostatic contribution [18,113]. A standard CSOV analysis does not resolve this issue since there is no straightforward way to make a subdivision between the contributions polarization steps are also important for the formation of covalent bonds. Instead we choose to investigate how much of the adsorption energy that can be accounted for by utilizing a purely electrostatic model this provides an upper limit to the electrostatic contribution. [Pg.132]

A. Previous models of water (see 1-6 in Section V.A.l) and also the hat-curved model itself cannot describe properly the R-band arising in water and therefore cannot explain a small isotope shift of the center frequency vR. Indeed, in these models the R-band arises due to free rotors. Since the moment of inertia I of D20 molecule is about twice that of H20, the estimated center of the R-band for D20 would be placed at y/2 lower frequency than for H20. This result would contradict the recorded experimental data, since vR(D20) vR(H20) 200 cm-1. The first attempt to overcome this difficulty was made in GT, p. 549, where the cosine-squared (CS) potential model was formally (i.e., irrespective of a physical origin of such potential) applied for description of dielectric response of rotators moving above the CS well (in this work the librators were assumed to move in the rectangular well). The nonuniform CS potential yields a rather narrow absorption band this property agrees with the experimental data [17, 42, 54]. The absorption-peak position Vcs depends on the field parameter p of the model given by... [Pg.203]

Description of the Model. Bois and Paxman (1992) produced a model that they used to explore the effect of exposure rate on the production of benzene metabolites. The model had three components, which described the pharmacokinetics of benzene and the formation of metabolites, using the rat as a model. Distribution and elimination of benzene from a five-compartment model, comprised of liver, bone marrow, fat, poorly perfused tissues, and well perfused tissues, made up the first component of the model. The five-compartment model included two sites for metabolism of benzene, liver and bone marrow. The bone marrow component was included for its relevance to human leukemia. Parameter values for this component were derived from the literature and from the previously published work of Rickert et al. [Pg.181]

The 1-D concentric cylinder models described above have been extended to fiber-reinforced ceramics by Kervadec and Chermant,28,29 Adami,30 and Wu and Holmes 31 these analyses are similar in basic concept to the previous modeling efforts for metal matrix composites, but they incorporate the time-dependent nature of both fiber and matrix creep and, in some cases, interface creep. Further extension of the 1-D model to multiaxial stress states was made by Meyer et a/.,32-34 Wang et al.,35 and Wang and Chou.36 In the work by Meyer et al., 1-D fiber-composites under off-axis loading (with the loading direction at an angle to fiber axis) were analyzed with the... [Pg.164]

The SDE and transport equation can be used with the same univocity conditions. For simple univocity conditions and functions such as Di-a(Fa), the transport equations have analytical solutions. Comparison with the numerical solutions of stochastic models allows one to verify whether the stochastic model works properly. The numerical solution of SDE is carried out by space and time discretization into space subdivisions called bins. In the bins j of the space division i, the dimensionless concentration of the property (F = Fa/Faq) takes the Fj value. Taking into consideration these previous statements allows one to write the numerical version of relation (4.118) ... [Pg.233]

Initial modeling studies surveyed a material phase space that partially overlapped that of Sachtler et al.," that is, quarternary phases of Na-Li-Mg-Al-H, but they also included Ti as a partial substitute with Mg. Over 200 phases were considered. Consistent with the previously discussed work, only a few promising candidates were identihed. [Pg.200]

The model proposed by Philips offers the possibility of working with a set of standards where only the composition of the element to be determined is known precisely, whilst the interfering elements are present without necessarily having been analysed. The intensity measurements of the characteristic lines of interfering elements are used in the same way as the concentration levels in the De Jongh equation. As with the previous model, solving the system of equations entails creating a number of standards of compositions close to that of the sample. [Pg.85]
