β¦ Synopsis
The effects of wall slip of concentrated suspension melts in capillary flows were investigated at elevated temperature. The modeled material is a mixture of polymer EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) and non-colloidal spherical powder (glass microspheres) with mean particle size within 53βΌ63 ΞΌm. The effect of particle concentration on wall slip was studied experimentally in a capillary rheometer. For suspensions with different particle loadings (35%, 40%, and 45% by volume), the slip velocity V s increased with an increase of particle concentration at the same testing temperature. A master slip curve can be obtained by plotting slip velocity versus the product of wall shear stress and square root of particle concentration. As such, a new particle concentration-dependent slip model is proposed. A theoretical approach coupled with the new slip model and flow equation is employed to characterize the flow behavior of concentrated suspension in a capillary rheometer, with reasonable agreement obtained with experimental observations.
