Energetic And Entropic Elasticity Of Nonisothermal Flowing Polymers: Experiment, Theory, And Simulation, T. C. Ionescu, B. J. Edwards, David Keffer, V. G. Mavrantzas
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
The thermodynamical aspects of polymeric liquids subjected to nonisothermal flow are examined from the complementary perspectives of theory, experiment, and simulation. In particular, attention is paid to the energetic effects, in addition to the entropic ones, that occur under conditions of extreme deformation. Comparisons of experimental measurements of the temperature rise generated under elongational flow at high strain rates with macroscopic finite element simulations offer clear evidence of the persistence and importance of energetic effects under severe deformation. The performance of various forms of the temperature equation are evaluated with regard to experiment, and it is concluded that the standard …
