Wall slip and spurt flow of polybutadiene
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Spurt occurs in the flow of entangled melts in a capillary rheometer in which the driving pressure is controlled. As the driving pressure increases, at a critical value there is a sudden increase in flow rate, often called spurt. This discontinuity is followed by another regime of smoothly increasing flow rate. A phenomenon that may contribute to this instability is a curve of wall shear stress versus slip velocity that has a maximum followed by a minimum, and there are models that predict such behavior. We used a sliding plate rheometer (SPR) to study wall slip for a highly entangled, linear polybutadiene at 1atm and at 46MPa. By varying the plate speed, we were able to explore the entire curve of shear stress versus slip velocity. This curve exhibited a maximum and a minimum in the stress, providing support for theories predicting this behavior and an explanation for the spurt effect in capillary rheometry. The spurt flow of the same polymer was also observed, and slip velocities were estimated and compared with those determined using the SPR. The slip velocities obtained using the two instruments were in good agreement.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
