Abstract:

A magnetic field is imposed on the melt during Czochralski crystal growth to control fluid flow. The influence of an applied magnetic field on heat transfer in a germanium melt has been investigated in this work. In heat-transfer modelling of the Czochralski process, values of thermal conductivity of the crucible material, pyrolytic boron nitride, are required as a function of temperature. The thermal conductivity of a pyrolytic boron nitride crucible material has also been determined in this work. Both the investigation of the influence of the applied magnetic field and the determination of the thermal conductivity have involved experimental temperature measurements and mathematical modelling of heat transfer. The finite element equations for the two-dimensional heat-conduction equation have been derived using the Galerkin method of weighted residuals. They have been validated by comparing the finite element solutions with the corresponding analytical solutions. The finite element results are in excellent agreement with the analytical solutions. A steady-state conduction-dominated mathematical model has been developed to analyze the temperature measurements obtained within the germanium melt in a Czochralski crystal growth configuration with and without an applied magnetic field of 0.099 tesla. The effect of the applied magnetic field on the heat transfer in the melt has been determined by fitting the model-calculated results to the measurements. The effective thermal conductivity of the melt has been found to decrease by a factor of seven due to the magnetic field. The thermal conductivity across a pyrolytic boron nitride crucible plate (through crucible thickness) has been determined from measurements of temperature responses in liquid gallium positioned on both sides of the plate, in conjunction with a transient mathematical model which simulates the thermal responses. By matching the simulated thermal responses with the measurements, the thermal conductivity of the pyrolytic boron nitride crucible plate has been obtained as a function of temperature.

Abstract:

Linear shear flow behavior and molecular structure studies were carried out on linear polypropylenes produced using Ziegler-Natta catalysts and sets of branched polypropylenes produced from these linear precursors.
A method combining dynamic and creep measurements was employed to obtain a complete picture of the linear viscoelastic behavior of these polypropylenes. It was found that all samples in a set of polypropylenes have the same linear viscoelastic behavior in the high-frequency range, but display dramatic differences at low frequencies. Increasing branching level results in a steep increase of the zero-shear viscosity, an increase of the steady-state compliance, and a broadening of the relaxation spectrum whose shape changes dramatically and peaks shift to longer times.
Molecular models were tested and applied to the linear polypropylenes to predict linear viscoelastic properties from the molecular weight distribution (MWD). The parameters obtained from the best fit of predicted and experimental data of linear polypropylenes were used to calculate a fictive relaxation spectrum for branched polymers from their MWDs as if they were linear. The comparison between this predicted result and the experimental spectrum showed the separate effects of polydispersity and branching on rheology.
To obtain detailed structural information, the branching process of polypropylenes was simulated using a Monte-Carlo approach, which provides detailed information such as MWD and branching distribution. The simulated MWD was adjusted to the measured GPC curve using a single parameter simply related to the branching density lambda (LCB/1000C). Relations between branching parameters and moments of the MWD were determined, which offer the possibility to calculate branching parameters directly from GPC results. The branching efficiency was estimated and correlations between engineering properties of polypropylenes and the structural information were obtained, which is of valuable industrial interest for polymer design.
A determination of the weight fractions of branches and segments between branch points from the relaxation spectrum is proposed. Due to the complexity of molecular relaxation mechanisms, only approximate correlations between molecular architecture and rheology were observed.*

Full text

Abstract:

The long-accepted theory to explain why snow is slippery postulates self-lubrication: frictional heat from sliding melts and thereby lubricates the contacting snow grains. We recently published micro-scale interface observations that contradicted this explanation: contacting snow grains abraded and did not melt under a polyethylene slider, despite low friction values. Here we provide additional observational and theoretical evidence that abrasion can govern snow kinetic friction. We obtained coordinated infrared, visible-light and scanning-electron micrographs that confirm that the evolving shapes observed during our tribometer tests are contacting snow grains polished by abrasion, and that the wear particles can sinter together and fill the adjacent pore spaces. Furthermore, dry-contact abrasive wear reasonably predicts the evolution of snow-slider contact area and sliding-heat-source theory confirms that contact temperatures would not reach 0°C during our tribometer tests. Importantly, published measurements of interface temperatures also indicate that melting did not occur during field tests on sleds and skis. Although prevailing theory anticipates a transition from dry to lubricated contact along a slider, we suggest that dry-contact abrasion and heat flow can prevent this transition from occurring for snow-friction scenarios of practical interest.

Abstract:

This study was designed to be an initial step to investigate the potential of low flow nozzles as part of a retrofit flashover prevention system in residential homes with limited water supplies. Not all homes have water supplies that can meet the needs of a residential sprinkler system. Current alter- natives, such as including a supplemental tank and pump, increase the cost of the system. These homes could benefit from an effective fire safety system with lower water supply requirements. The experiments in this study were conducted in a steel test structure which consisted of a fire room attached to a hallway in an L-shaped configuration. Three types of experiments were conducted to evaluate nozzles at different flow rates and under different fire conditions. The performance of the nozzles was compared to the performance of a commercially available residential sprinkler. The first set of experiments measured the distribution of the water spray from each of the nozzles and the sprinkler. The water spray measurements were made without the presence of a fire. The other two sets of experiments were fire experiments. The first set of fire experiments were designed to measure the ability of a water spray to cool a hot gas layer generated by a gas burner fire. The fire source was a propane burner which provided a steady and repeatable flow of heat into the test structure. Two water spray locations were examined, in the fire room and in the middle of the hallway. In each position, the burner was shielded from the water spray. The results showed that for equivalent conditions, the nozzle provided greater gas cooling than the sprinkler. The tests were conducted with a fire size of approximately 110 kW, and water flow rates in the range of 11 lpm (3 gpm) and 19 lpm (5 gpm). The second set of fire experiments used an upholstered sofa as the initial source of the fire with the water spray located in the same room. As a result of the compartment size and water spray distribution, the nozzle flowing water at 23 lpm (6 gpm) provided more effective suppression of the fire than the sprinkler flowing 34 lpm (9 gpm) did. The nozzle was similarly effective with the ignition location moved 1.0 m (3.2 ft) further away. However, the nozzle failed to suppress the fire with a reduced water flow rate of 11 lpm (3 gpm). The results of this limited study demonstrate the potential of low flow nozzles, directly flowing water on to the fuel surface, with the goal of preventing flashover. Additional research is needed to examine larger room sizes, fully furnished rooms, and shielded fires to determine the feasibility of a reduced water flow flashover prevention system.
