A Stochastic Rheological Model for the Calculation of Polymeric Fluids
نویسنده
چکیده
A stochastic rheological model for the calculation of polymer stress in polymeric fluids is developed and evaluated. The model is microscopic-based and combines aspects of reptation, modified network and continuum models. A concentrated Polyisobutylene (PIB) solution is simulated for material functions in various rheometric flows. Comparisons made with available experimental data shows that the model predicts well the qualitative material behavior of the fluid in the rheometric flows considered. In most cases, the predictions agree quantitatively with the available experimental data.

Development of a rheological model for polymeric fluids based on FENE model
Rheological models for polymer solutions and melts based on the finitely extensible non-linear elastic (FENE) dumbbell theory are reviewed in this study. The FENE-P model that is a well-known Peterlin approximation of the FENE model, indicates noticeable deviation from original FENE predictions and also experimental results, especially in the transient flow. In addition, both FENE and FENE-P mo...

متن کاملAn Improvement in Thermal and Rheological Properties of Water-based Drilling Fluids Using Multiwall Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT)
Designing drilling fluids for drilling in deep gas reservoirs and geothermal wells is a major challenge. Cooling drilling fluids and preparing stable mud with high thermal conductivity are of great concern. Drilling nanofluids, i.e. a low fraction of carbon nanotube (CNT) well dispersed in mud, may enhance the mixture thermal conductivity compared to the base fluids. Thus, they are potentially ...
