Wall slip and spurt of molten polymer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A Monsanto Automatic Capillary Rheometer and a sliding plate rheometer were used to study the spurt phenomenon and to discover whether it is the result of a system instability or a material property. The capillary rheometer has been the only instrument able to operate at spurt stresses up to present time, because capillary rheometers operate at shear stresses that are out of the range of rotational shear rheometers. However, a sliding plate rheometer can generate shear stresses in the spurt range. A comparative study using two linear polybutadiene samples at 50°C was carried out using these two rheometers. Special attention was paid to the evaluation of the actual pressure drop in the capillary in order to determine the true shear stress at the wall. It was found that spurt occurs only in the capillary rheometer. In other words, the flow curve generated by the sliding plate rheometer is continuous in the shear stress range where spurt is observed in the capillary rheometer. Slip velocities were determined using data from the two rheometers, and the slip velocities for the post-slip capillary flow all fall on the smooth curve based on sliding plate data, provided that the pressure drop in the capillary, and not the overall driving pressure, is used to calculate the wall shear stress.

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.
