In this paper, we design internal space in plunger-type low pressure vacuum injection molding machine from numerical study. And we study characteristic of viscoelastic flow for searching injection molding condition. Then the flow analysis was performed using the CAE S/W. The result shows optimal value of nozzle and hole in injection chamber. And we investigated qualitatively relationship between injection pressure and injection mass flow with variable shear rate

This study analyzes the planar 4:1 contraction flow of viscoelastic fluids with retardation time using finite volume method. To consider separately the elasticity effect of the viscoelastic fluid without shear thinn-ing effect, Oldroyd B liquid model is adopted for the numerical simulation. Instead of the stream function-vorticity formulation, SIMPLER algorithm with staggered grid system which incorporates primitive variable has been introduced in discretizing the momentum equations. An upwind corrected scheme has been used in discetizing the constitutive equations for the non-Newtonian part of the stress. The size of the corner vortex is shown to be slightly influenced by the Weissenberg number. However as the Weissenberg number is increased the chang-ing of the vortex shape agrees qualitatively well with some experimental studies.

Solution polymerization was conducted with water-soluble methacrylic acid (MAA) as a monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator at a selected temperature between $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. When the ratio between MAA and water was reduced or initiator concentration increased, molecular weights decreased. Molecular weights of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) showed nearly no dependence on reaction temperature. The Weissenberg effect was observed in most polymerization reactions, while its effect weakened at $90^{\circ}C$. The polydispersity index was less than 1.5 in most of the reactions. An increase in the stirring speed produced PMAAs with increasing molecular weights. When the stirring speed reached 800 rpm, we retrieved a monodisperse PMAA with both the number and weight average molecular weights of 791,000 g/mol. The glass transition temperature was found to be $162^{\circ}C$.

폴리이소부틸렌(PIB)/폴리부텐(PB) 고분자 용액에 분산된 입자의 영향을 살펴보기위 해 제조된 kaolinite/PIB/PB 용액에 대한 Weissenberg 효과와 유변학적 물성을 조사하였다. Kaolinite 분산 PIB/PB 고분자 용액도 2차 유체로 간주될수 있음이 발견되었으며 느린 변형 속도에서 2차유체로 간주되는 입자 분산 고분자 용액에 대한 막대상승 실험에서 얻는 고분 자 용액의 탄성 발현에 의한 상승높이에 비례하는 막대오름상수 $\beta$값으로부터 유변학적 특 서치들을 구할수 있었다. 이러한 막대오름상수 $\beta$값은 PIB/PB 및 kaolinite/PIB/PB계에서 용매 점도, 입자 농도와 PIB의 농도가 높을수록 증가하는 반면 온도에는 반비례함을 보이는 데 고분자 용융체에서와는 달리 입자 분산고분자 용액의 경우 입자의 농도가 증가함에 따라 탄성도 증가하는 특징적 거동을 관찰하였다. 한편 Physica MC-120과 RMS 800 Rheometer 를 사용하여 PIB 고분자 용액의 유변학적 물성들을 측정하였으며 2차 유체 구성방정식에 근거하여 얻어지는 유변학적 특성치들과 비교하였다.

점탄성유체 유동에 대하여 일반적으로 U.C맥스웰 모델 또는 올드로이드 B모델이 사용되지만 이러한 모델들은-매우 큰 전단율 영역인 윤활문제에서 믿기 힘든-수직응력의 크기가 전단율의 제곱에 비례함을 나타내므로, 본 연구에서는 수직응력 계수들 (.psi.,.psi.$_{2}$)이 가정될 수 있는 Criminale-Ericksen-Filbey모델이 사용되었다. 2차 수직응력계수는 다른 문제들에서와 같이 무시되었으며 Weissenberg수가 포함된 특수레이놀즈식이 유도되었다. 이 모델의 속도분포는 -2차원 약한 점탄성 유체에 대하여 증명된 바와 같이-뉴우톤 유체와 같이 가정되었다. 유도된 특수레이놀즈 식은 Weissenberg수를 1까지 계산되었으며 그 결과 점탄성유체가 유한저어널 베 어링에서 유리한 것으로 나타났지만 그 차가 미소하여 일반베어링에서 점탄성 윤활유의 영향이 무시됨을 보였다.

In this work we show the results of our most recent Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of turbulent viscoelastic channel flow using spectral spatial approximations and a stabilizing artificial diffusion in the viscoelastic constitutive model. The Finite-Elasticity Non-Linear Elastic Dumbbell model with the Peterlin approximation (FENE-P) is used to represent the effect of polymer molecules in solution, The corresponding rheological parameters are chosen so that to get closer to the conditions corresponding to maximum drag reduction: A high extensibility parameter (60) and a moderate solvent viscosity ratio (0.8) are used with two different friction Weissenberg numbers (50 and 100). We then first find that the corresponding achieved drag reduction, in the range of friction Reynolds numbers used in this work (180-590), is insensitive to the Reynolds number (in accordance to previous work). The obtained drag reduction is at the level of $49\%\;and\;63\%$, for the friction Weissenberg numbers 50 and 100, respectively. The largest value is substantially higher than any of our previous simulations, performed at more moderate levels of viscoelasticity (i.e. higher viscosity ratio and smaller extensibility parameter values). Therefore, the maximum extensional viscosity exhibited by the modeled system and the friction Weissenberg number can still be considered as the dominant factors determining the levels of drag reduction. These can reach high values, even for of dilute polymer solution (the system modeled by the FENE-P model), provided the flow viscoelasticity is high, corresponding to a high polymer molecular weight (which translates to a high extensibility parameter) and a high friction Weissenberg number. Based on that and the changes observed in the turbulent structure and in the most prevalent statistics, as presented in this work, we can still rationalize for an increasing extensional resistance-based drag reduction mechanism as the most prevalent mechanism for drag reduction, the same one evidenced in our previous work: As the polymer elasticity increases, so does the resistance offered to extensional deformation. That, in turn, changes the structure of the most energy-containing turbulent eddies (they become wider, more well correlated, and weaker in intensity) so that they become less efficient in transferring momentum, thus leading to drag reduction. Such a continuum, rheology-based, mechanism has first been proposed in the early 70s independently by Metzner and Lamley and is to be contrasted against any molecularly based explanations.

The heat transfer characteristics of the drag reducing polymer solutions are investigated experimentally in the thermal entrance region of circular tube flows. Fluids used in experiments are the aqueous solutions of high molecular polymer, polyacrylamide Separan AP-273 and the range of polymer concentrations is from 20 to 1000 wppm. Two stainless steel tubes with inside diameter 8.5mm(L/D=712) and 10.3mm(L/D=1160) are used for the heat transfer flow loops. The flow loop is set up to measure friction factors and heat transfer coefficients of test sections in two different modes; the recirculating flow system and once-through flow system. The test tubes are heated directly by electricity to apply the constant heat flux boundary conditions to the wall. Three different types of adaptors are used to observe the effects of the upstream flow conditions of the heat transfer test sections. The viscosity and characteristic relaxation time of the test fluids circulating in the flow system are measured by the capillary tube viscometer and falling ball viscometer at regular time intervals. The installed adaptors exhibit slight effect on the entrance heat transfer of Newtonian fluid. However, no noticeable effects are observed for the entrance heat transfer of the drag reducing fluids. The order of magnitude of the thermal entrance lengths of the drag reducing fluids which follow the minimum friction asymptote is much longer than that of Newtonian fluids in turbulent flows. A new dimensionless parameter, the viscoelastic Graetz number, is defined and all the experimental data are recasted in terms of the viscoelastic Graetz number. The local Nusselt number of the viscoelastic fluids is represented as a function of flow behavior index n and the viscoelastic Graetz number. As degradation continues the viscosity and the characteristic relaxation time of the testing fluids decrease. Weissenberg number defined by the relaxation time and D/V appears to be a proper dimensionless parameter in describing degradation effects on heat transfer of the viscoelastic fluids.

Simulations of solutions of flexible polymer molecules during flow in simple or complex confined geometries are performed. Concentrations from ultradilute up to near the overlap concentration are considered. As concentration increases, the hydrodynamic migration effects observed in dilute solution unidirectional flows (Couette flow, Poiseuille flow) become less prominent, virtually vanishing as the overlap concentration is approached. In a grooved channel geometry, the groove is almost completely depleted of polymer chains at high Weissenberg number in the dilute limit, but at finite concentration this depletion effect is dramatically reduced. Only upon inclusion of hydrodynamic interactions can these phenomena be properly captured.
