Marangoni Effects

The Marangoni effect on the critical heat flux (CHF) condition in pool boiling of binary mixtures has been identified and its effect has been quantitatively estimated with a modified model derived from hydrodynamics. The physical process of CHF in binary mixtures, and models used to describe it, are examined in the light of recent experimental evidence, accurate mixture properties, and phase equilibrium revealing a correlation to surface tension gradients and volatility. A correlation is developed from a heuristic model including the additional liquid restoring force caused by surface tension gradients. The CHF condition was determined experimentally for saturated methanol/water, 2-propanol/water, and ethylene glycol/water mixtures, over the full range of concentrations, and compared to the model. The evidence in this study demonstrates that in a mixture with large differences in surface tension, there is an additional hydrodynamic restoring force affecting the CHF condition.

AbstractSurface tension of solid wood surfaces affects the wettability and thus the adhesion of various adhesives and wood coatings. By measuring the contact angle of the wood, the surface tension can be calculated based on the Young-Dupré equation. Several publications have reported on contact angle measured with different test liquids, under different conditions. Results can only be compared if the test conditions are similar. While the roles of the drop volume, image shooting time etc., are widely recognized, the role of the wood surface moisture content (MC) is not evaluated in detail. In this study, the effect of wood moisture content on contact angle values, measured with distilled water and diiodomethane, on sanded birch (Betula pendula) surfaces was investigated, in order to find the relationship between them. With increasing MC from approximately 6% to 30%, increasing contact angle (decreasing surface tension) values were measured according to a logarithmic function. The function makes possible the calculation of contact angles that correspond to different MCs.

The study of interactions between polyelectrolytes (PE) and surfactants is of great interest for both fundamental and applied research. These mixtures can represent, for example, models of self-assembly and molecular organization in biological systems, but they are also relevant in industrial applications. Amphiphilic block polyelectrolytes represent an interesting class of PE, but their interactions with surfactants have not been extensively explored so far, most studies being restricted to non-associating PE. In this work, interactions between an anionic amphiphilic triblock polyelectrolyte and different types of surfactants bearing respectively negative, positive and no charge, are investigated via surface tension and solution rheology measurements for the first time. It is evidenced that the surfactants have different effects on viscosity and surface tension, depending on their charge type. Micellization of the surfactant is affected by the presence of the polymer in all cases; shear viscosity of polymer solutions decreases in presence of the same charge or nonionic surfactants, while the opposite charge surfactant causes precipitation. This study highlights the importance of the charge type, and the role of the associating hydrophobic block in the PE structure, on the solution behavior of the mixtures. Moreover, a possible interaction model is proposed, based on the obtained data.

Lung Stress

Static (Cstat) and dynamic (Cdyn) lung compliance and lung stress relaxation were examined in isolated lungs of newborn kittens and adult cats. Cstat was determined by increasing volume in increments and recording the corresponding change in pressure; Cdyn was calculated as the ratio of the changes in volume to transpulmonary pressure between points of zero flow at ventilation frequencies between 10 and 110 cycles/min. Lung volume history, end-inflation volume, and end-deflation pressure were maintained constant. At the lowest frequency of ventilation, Cdyn was less than Cstat, the difference being greater in newborns. Between 20 and 100 cycles/min, Cdyn of the newborn lung remained constant, whereas Cdyn of the adult lung decreased after 60 cycles/min. At all frequencies, the rate of stress relaxation, measured as the decay in transpulmonary pressure during maintained inflation, was greater in newborns than in adults. The frequency response of Cdyn in kittens, together with the relatively greater rate of stress relaxation, suggests that viscoelasticity contributes more to the dynamic stiffening of the lung in newborns than in adults. A theoretical treatment of the data based on a linear model of viscoelasticity supports this conclusion.

AbstractWe report on the role of surface diffusion involved in relaxation of electromigration (EM) induced compressive stresses in relation to hillock growth and EM behavior of interconnects. Two competing mechanisms of EM stress relaxation by material transport onto the surface are considered. The first is hillocking by threshold diffusional creep (TCH), with rather large blocks of material (grains or group of grains) involved in plastic flow. The second mechanism, atomic diffusion hillocking (ADH), is presumed to be a nonthreshold one, and represents atomic grain boundary (GB) diffusion stimulated by the hydrostatic stress gradient in the direction normal to the film surface. The latter process involves surface diffusion because GB diffusional flux onto the surface must be coupled with the flux of redistribution of the atoms over the surface. If ADH acts rapidly, this should prevent the build-up of the matter at the down-wind (anode) end of the stripe, and thus, eliminate the Blech EM threshold resulting from the stress-gradient along the stripe. The question as to whether GB diffusion capable of transporting atoms pushed by electron wind along the stripe is also effective in relieving compressive stress by GB migration of the surplus atoms in the normal direction, has remained open up to now. The problem is especially acute for short or/and narrow lines separated into short polycrystalline segments, where the Blech threshold effects are critical to EM reliability.We derived the main features of the EM behavior in drift velocity test geometry assuming that both TCH and ADH are operative. The result can be compared with available and future experimental observations in order to reveal if and when the ADH mechanism with surface diffusion involved works.
