Theory and Simulation of A Novel Viscosity Measurement Method for High Temperature Semiconductor

The properties of molten semiconductors are good indicators for material structure transformation and hysteresis under temperature variations. Viscosity, as one of the most important properties, is difficult to measure because of high temperature, high pressure, and vapor toxicity of melts. Recently, a novel method was developed by applying a rotating magnetic field to the melt sealed in a suspended quartz ampoule, and measuring the transient torque exerted by rotating melt flow on the ampoule wall. The method was designed to measure viscosity in short time period, which is essential for evaluating temperature hysteresis. This paper compares the theoretical prediction of melt flow and ampoule oscillation with the experimental data. A theoretical model was established and the coupled fluid flow and ampoule torsional vibration equations were solved numerically. The simulation results showed a good agreement with experimental data. The results also showed that both electrical conductivity and viscosity could be calculated by fitting the theoretical results to the experimental data. The transient velocity of the melt caused by the rotating magnetic field was found reach equilibrium in about half a minute, and the viscosity of melt could be calculated from the altitude of oscillation. This would allow the measurement of viscosity in a minute or so, in contrast to the existing oscillation cup method, which requires about an hour for one measurement.

Science Requirements for a Space Flight Experiment Entitled Critical Viscosity of Xenon

We propose to measure in low gravity the viscosity of xenon close to its critical point. The accuracy will be sufficient to eliminate uncertainties currently associated with the analysis of l-g experiments. The measurements will provide the first direct observation of the predicted power-law divergence of viscosity in a pure fluid. The measurements will also strengthen Zeno's test of mode coupling theory by greatly increasing the reliability of the extrapolation of viscosity to low reduced temperatures. Our scientific objectives are described in more detail in one of the attached reports. The low-gravity experiment will be the final stage of a program whose completed ground-based stages are: (1) theoretical studies by one of the principal investigators (MRM) and coworkers, (2) critical viscosity measurements of binary liquid mixtures, (3) critical viscosity measurements of pure fluids in l-g, and development of a suitable vibration-insensitive viscometer. Our technical approach is described in the draft Science Requirements Document. One of us (MRM) has reviewed opportunities for critical phenomena research in low gravity. Both of us were co-principal investigators in the Thermal Equilibration Experiment in the Critical Point Facility, flown on IML-1 in 1992. From this experience, and from the technical maturity of our ground-based work, we believe our critical point viscometer is ready for development as a flight experiment.

Transient Torque Method: A Fast and Nonintrusive Technique to Simultaneously Determine Viscosity and Electrical Conductivity of Semiconducting and Metallic Melts

A transient torque method was developed to rapidly and simultaneously determine the viscosity and electrical conductivity of liquid metals and molten semiconductors. The experimental setup of the transient torque method is similar to that of the oscillation cup method. The melt sample is sealed inside a fused silica ampoule, and the ampoule is suspended by a long quartz fiber to form a torsional oscillation system. A rotating magnetic field is used to induce a rotating flow in the conductive melt, which causes the ampoule to rotate around its vertical axis. A sensitive angular detector is used to measure the deflection angle of the ampoule. Based on the transient behavior of the deflection angle as the rotating magnetic field is applied, the electrical conductivity and viscosity of the melt can be obtained simultaneously by numerically fitting the data to a set of governing equations. The transient torque viscometer was applied successfully to measure the viscosity and electrical conductivity of high purity mercury at 53.4 C. The results were in excellent agreement with published data. The method is nonintrusive; capable of rapid measurement of the viscosity of toxic, high vapor pressure melts at elevated temperatures. In addition, the transient torque viscometer can also be operated as an oscillation cup viscometer to measure just the viscosity of the melt or as a rotating magnetic field method to determine the electrical conductivity of a melt or a solid if desired.

Low Melt Viscosity Resins for Resin Transfer Molding

In recent years, resin transfer molding (RTM) has become one of the methods of choice for high performance composites. Its cost effectiveness and ease of fabrication are major advantages of RTM. RTM process usually requires resins with very low melt viscosity (less than 10 Poise). The optimum RTM resins also need to display high thennal-oxidative stability, high glass transition temperature (T(sub g)), and good toughness. The traditional PMR-type polyimides (e.g. PMR-15) do not fit this requirement, because the viscosities are too high and the nadic endcap cures too fast. High T(sub g), low-melt viscosity resins are highly desirable for aerospace applications and NASA s Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) program. The objective of this work is to prepare low-melt viscosity polyimide resins for RTM or resin film infusion (RFI) processes. The approach involves the synthesis of phenylethynyl-terminated imide oligomers. These materials have been designed to minimize their melt viscosity so that they can be readily processed. During the cure, the oligomers undergo both chain extension and crosslinking via the thermal polymerization of the phenylethynyl groups. The Phenylethynyl endcap is preferred over the nadic group due to its high curing temperature, which provides broader processing windows. This work involved the synthesis and polymerization of oligomers containing zig-zag backbones and twisted biphenyl structures. Some A-B type precursors which possessed both nitro and anhydride functionality, or both nitro and amine functionality, were also synthesized in order to obtain the well defined oligomers. The resulting zig-zag structured oligomers were then end-capped with 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (PEPA) for further cure. The properties of these novel imide oligomers are evaluated.

High-Performance Polymers Having Low Melt Viscosities

High-performance polymers that have improved processing characteristics, and a method of making them, have been invented. One of the improved characteristics is low (relative to corresponding prior polymers) melt viscosities at given temperatures. This characteristic makes it possible to utilize such processes as resin-transfer molding and resin-film infusion and to perform autoclave processing at lower temperatures and/or pressures. Another improved characteristic is larger processing windows that is, longer times at low viscosities. Other improved characteristics include increased solubility of uncured polymer precursors that contain reactive groups, greater densities of cross-links in cured polymers, improved mechanical properties of the cured polymers, and greater resistance of the cured polymers to chemical attack. The invention is particularly applicable to poly(arylene ether)s [PAEs] and polyimides [PIs] that are useful as adhesives, matrices of composite materials, moldings, films, and coatings. PAEs and PIs synthesized according to the invention comprise mixtures of branched, linear, and star-shaped molecules. The monomers of these polymers can be capped with either reactive end groups to obtain thermosets or nonreactive end groups to obtain thermoplastics. The synthesis of a polymeric mixture according to the invention involves the use of a small amount of a trifunctional monomer. In the case of a PAE, the trifunctional monomer is a trihydroxy- containing compound for example, 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene (THB). In the case of a PI, the trifunctional monomer is a triamine for example, triamino pyrimidine or melamine. In addition to the aforementioned trifunctional monomer, one uses the difunctional monomers of the conventional formulation of the polymer in question (see figure). In cases of nonreactive end caps, the polymeric mixtures of the invention have melt viscosities and melting temperatures lower than those of the corresponding linear polymers of equal molecular weights. The lower melting temperatures and melt viscosities provide larger processing windows. In cases of reactive end caps, the polymeric mixtures of the invention have lower melt viscosities before curing and the higher cross-link densities after curing (where branching in the uncured systems would become cross-links in the cured systems), relative to the corresponding linear polymers of equal molecular weights. The greater cross-link densities afford increased resistance to chemical attack and improved mechanical properties.

Locally adaptive artificial viscosity strategies for Lagrangian hydrodynamics

To accurately model inviscid flow with shock waves using staggered-grid Lagrangian hydrodynamics, artificial viscosity is introduced to convert kinetic energy into internal energy, thereby providing a mechanism to generate the required entropy increase across shocks. In this paper, we propose a new method for constructing an adaptive, artificial viscosity in the context of one-dimensional, staggered-grid Lagrangian hydrodynamics. Our adaptive, artificial viscosity is defined in terms of two parameters that depend on density locally in a neighborhood around a shock, and hence, vary cell-by-cell. Our methodology is based on building a reference set of pre-computed optimal, globally constant artificial viscosity coefficients for a family of isolated shock test problems. For arbitrary flows, the evaluation of the unknown coefficients is automated by first estimating shock intensity locally, and second computing the corresponding adaptive parameter value via interpolation over the data from the pre-computed reference set of optimal, globally constant coefficient values. To illustrate the performance of our new approach, we compare our results against two existing methods. The first method is a limiter-based approach, which relies on estimating velocity gradients of the flow, and the second method is utilized in several commercial codes. Finally, we demonstrate that our new adaptive methodology produces more accurate results for a variety of tests with propagating shock waves, as well as for the aforementioned family of isolated shock problems.

Lattice-scale variations in viscosity are correlated with solution structure at mineral-water interfaces

At solid-liquid interfaces, the viscosity increases markedly from the bulk due to the collective interactions of ions and water molecules, influencing phenomena relevant to nanofluidics, colloidal dynamics, and electrochemistry. Here, in this study, we investigated dissipative forces at the boehmite-water interface using 3D atomic force microscopy. We observed an increase in interfacial solution viscosity, η, by 10-100-fold as the nanoprobe approached the surface in normal direction, with up to four oscillatory features showing average peaks of η/η bulk = 44-71. Moreover, the viscosity showed sub-nanometer variations within 0.5 nm from the interface, templated by the underlying crystal lattice and correlated with the interfacial solution structure. Beyond a near-wall region of approximately 1.2 nm, the dissipative response was comparable to that in bulk solution. Molecular dynamics simulations, along with statistical mechanical analyses, provided details on hydrodynamic structures near the interface. Specifically, the lattice-dependent dissipative responses are correlated with extensive hydrogen bonding by interfacial water molecules, which increased friction, particularly along the [001] direction. These results demonstrate how solution viscosity at mineral-water interfaces is anisotropic and correlated with the local solution structure, providing insights into the dynamics of nanocrystal attachment.

Viscosity anomaly of a metallic glass-forming liquid under high pressure

Viscosity, as a critical property closely associated with the glass-forming ability of a liquid, has been extensively studied with varying temperatures. However, its pressure dependence has not been well explored yet due to experimental difficulties. Here, we measured the viscosity of a metallic glass-forming liquid, Zr 46 Cu 37.6 Ag 8.4 Al 8 , at pressures up to 6.1 GPa above the melting points by falling-sphere viscometry with ultrafast synchrotron x-ray imaging. Overall, the viscosity increases with pressure, while surprisingly, there is an abrupt drop between 3.2 GPa and 3.7 GPa, indicating the possible existence of a pressure-induced liquid-to-liquid transition. Pressure could change the short- and medium-range orders in the multicomponent glass-forming liquid, as suggested by the different crystalline outcomes after cooling to room temperature at high- and low-pressure ranges. In conclusion, our work extended the viscosity investigation of metallic glass-forming liquids to the high-pressure regime, which will expand our understanding of liquid-liquid transitions and metallic glass formation.

Volatility Basis Set Distributions and Viscosity of Organic Aerosol Mixtures: Insights from Chemical Characterization Using Temperature-Programmed Desorption–Direct Analysis in Real-Time High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Quantitative assessment of gas-particle partitioning of individual components within complex atmospheric organic aerosols (OA) mixtures is critical for predicting and comprehending the formation and evolution of OA particles in the atmosphere. This investigation leverages previously documented data obtained through a temperature programmed desorption - direct analysis in real time – high resolution mass spectrometry (TPD-DART-HRMS) platform. This methodology facilitates the bottom-up construction of volatility basis set (VBS) distributions for constituents found in three biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mixtures produced through the ozonolysis of a-pinene, limonene, and ocimene. The apparent enthalpies (ΔH*, kJ mol -1 ) and saturated vapor mass concentrations (C T *, µg∙m -3 ) of individual SOA components, determined as a function of temperature (T, K), facilitated an assessment of changes in VBS distributions and gas-particle partitioning with respect to T and atmospheric total organic mass loadings (tOM, µg∙m -3 ). Further, the VBS distributions reveal distinct differences in volatilities among monomers, dimers, and trimers, enabling their categorization into separate volatility bins. At the ambient temperature of T = 298 K, only monomers efficiently partition between gas and particle phases across a broad range of atmospherically relevant total organic mass loadings (tOM) values of 1–100 µg∙m -3 . Partitioning of dimers and trimers becomes notable only at T > 360 K and T > 420 K, respectively. The viscosity of SOA mixtures is assessed using a bottom-up calculation approach, incorporating the input of elemental formulas, ΔH*, C T *, and particle-phase mass fractions of the SOA components. Through this approach, we are able to accurately estimate the variations in SOA viscosity that result from the evaporation of its components. These variations are, in turn, influenced by atmospherically relevant changes in tOM and T. Comparison of the calculated SOA viscosity and diffusivity values with literature reported experimental results shows close agreement, thereby validating the employed calculation approach. These findings underscore the significant potential for TPD-DART-HRMS measurements in enabling the untargeted analysis of organic molecules within OA mixtures. This approach facilitates quantitative assessment of their gas-particle partitioning and allows for the estimation of their viscosity and condensed-phase diffusion, thereby contributing valuable insights to atmospheric models.

Effects of Methylating Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids on Viscosity: New Insights from the Compensated Arrhenius Formalism

Methylation of the C(2) carbon on imidazolium-based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) causes an unexpected increase in viscosity when paired with the anion bis(trifluoromethylsulfonamide) [Tf 2 N] – , but the viscosity decreases when the methylated imidazolium is paired with a tetracyanoborate [B(CN) 4 ] – anion. Herein, this paper investigates these different observations in viscosity using the compensated Arrheniusformalism (CAF) for fluidity (inverse viscosity), which assumes fluidity to be a thermally activated process. CAF activation energies are determined for imidazolium [Tf 2 N] – and methylated imidazolium [Tf 2 N] – and compared to imidazolium [B(CN) 4 ] – and methylated imidazolium [B(CN) 4 ] – . The results show that the activation energy increases with methylation for [Tf 2 N] – , but it decreases with methylation for [B(CN) 4 ] – . The CAF results also yield information concerning the entropy of activation, which are compared for the two systems

Stockmayer fluid simulations for viscosity and glass transition temperature of ionic liquids

We develop a Stockmayer fluid model for molecular dynamics simulations of ionic liquids that captures molecular polarization, ionic conductivity, viscosity, and glass transition temperature, using ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) as an example. The ions in EAN are treated as spheres interacting via the Lennard-Jones potential with an embedded point charge and a permanent dipole moment. We show that our simulation results for EAN are consistent with experimental data and then explore the effects of the molecular parameters on the viscosity of ionic liquids. Our results indicate that viscosity monotonically increases with ionic charge and dipole moment but non-monotonically changes with ionic diameter (or molar volume). This non-monotonic trend arises from the competition among the electrostatic interactions, molecular packing, and size asymmetry between the cation and anion. In conclusion, our model also shows that long-lived ion pairs result in higher viscosities.

A small-volume, high-throughput approach for surface tension and viscosity measurements of liquid fuels

An ongoing effort looking at bioblendstocks to function as drop-in replacements or blending components for gasoline has identified a large number of candidate fuels. This work documents an approach for rapid screening of candidate fuels using relatively small sample sizes ($\mathcal{O}(\mu\,{\rm l})$) that targets two key physical properties of liquid fuels—surface tension and viscosity. The approach utilizes shape oscillation dynamics of single droplets generated by a piezo-electric device and their decay over time. Strobed imaging of the oscillation process is used along with image processing, edge detection, and data analysis to capture the decay of the oscillation over time. The time constant of the decay process along with oscillation frequency are then used to estimate viscosity and surface tension using a theory for small amplitude droplet oscillations. Measurements are obtained for primary reference fuels (isooctane and n-heptane) as well as candidate fuels from four bio-derived functional groups of interest. Measurement results for surface tension and viscosity are correlated with literature data as well as measurements from standard reference instruments. The measurement results show that the droplet oscillation based approach is capable of reproducing surface tension and viscosity values for the tested fuels within deviations of 7% and 13% respectively from literature data. Results are obtained using an average of 5 µl per fuel within about 20 s, thus demonstrating a small-volume, high-throughput approach that can be used for screening of candidate bioblendstock fuels.

Bulk viscosity of the rigid rotor one-component plasma

Bulk viscosity of a plasma consisting of strongly coupled diatomic ions is computed using molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations are based on the rigid rotor one-component plasma, which is introduced as a model system that adds two degrees of molecular rotation to the traditional one-component plasma. It is characterized by two parameters: the Coulomb coupling parameter, Γ, and the bond length parameter, Ω. Results show that the long-range nature of the Coulomb potential can lead to long rotational relaxation times, which in turn yield large values for bulk viscosity. Here, the bulk-to-shear viscosity ratio is found to span from small to large values depending on the values of Γ and Ω. Although bulk viscosity is often neglected in plasma modeling, these results motivate that it can be large in molecular plasmas with rotational degrees of freedom.

Effect of Oil Viscosity and Impact of Ionic Liquid Additive on Electrically Induced Pitting in Rolling Contact

Electrically induced bearing damage (EIBD) is a growing concern in electric drivetrains, where electrical discharge currents generate localized pitting that accelerates wear and premature failure. While ionic liquids (ILs) have shown promise as lubricant additives due to their natural physical adsorption, strong capabilities of tribofilm formation, and high molecular tunability, their role in mitigating EIBD is little known. This gap is especially evident because lubricant viscosity and film thickness affect discharge behavior, and additive performance in these regimes has not been well explored. In this study, tribological tests were performed using a ball-on-disk pure rolling-contact system under an applied voltage on polyalphaolefin oils of three viscosities (4, 10, and 150 cSt measured at 100 °C), with and without the addition of a phosphonium-phosphate IL. Surface damage was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and stylus profilometry. Damage quantification was based on pit morphology analysis of SEM images. The results provide new insights into how oil viscosity governs the discharge behavior and how an IL additive could influence the pit formation. While viscosity seems to play a significant role, an IL additive shows potential to reduce EIBD and deserves further study.

Bulk Viscosity of Relativistic npeμ Matter in Neutron-Star Mergers

We discuss the bulk viscosity of hot and dense npeμ matter arising from weak-interaction direct Urca processes. We consider two regimes of interest: (a) the neutrino-transparent regime with T ≤ T tr (T tr ≃ 5 ÷ 10 MeV is the neutrino-trapping temperature); and (b) the neutrino-trapped regime with T ≥ T tr . Nuclear matter is modeled in relativistic density functional approach with density-dependent parametrization DDME2. The maximum of the bulk viscosity is achieved at temperatures T ≃ 5 ÷ 6 MeV in the neutrino-transparent regime, then it drops rapidly at higher temperatures where neutrino-trapping occurs. As an astrophysical application, we estimate the damping timescales of density oscillations by the bulk viscosity in neutron star mergers and find that, e.g., at the oscillation frequency f = 10 kHz, the damping will be very efficient at temperatures 4 ≤ T ≤ 7 MeV where the bulk viscosity might affect the evolution of the post-merger object.

Estimated Viscosities and Thermal Conductivities of Gases at High Temperatures

Viscosities and thermal conductivities, suitable for heat-transfer calculations, were estimated for about 200 gases in the ground state from 100 to 5000 K and 1-atmosphere pressure. Free radicals were included, but excited states and ions were not. Calculations for the transport coefficients were based upon the Lennard-Jones (12-6) potential for all gases. This potential was selected because: (1) It is one of the most realistic models available and (2) intermolecular force constants can be estimated from physical properties or by other techniques when experimental data are not available; such methods for estimating force constants are not as readily available for other potentials. When experimental viscosity data were available, they were used to obtain the force constants; otherwise the constants were estimated. These constants were then used to calculate both the viscosities and thermal conductivities tabulated in this report. For thermal conductivities of polyatomic gases an Eucken-type correction was made to correct for exchange between internal and translational energies. Though this correction may be rather poor at low temperatures, it becomes more satisfactory with increasing temperature. It was not possible to obtain force constants from experimental thermal conductivity data except for the inert atoms, because most conductivity data are available at low temperatures only (200 to 400 K), the temperature range where the Eucken correction is probably most in error. However, if the same set of force constants is used for both viscosity and thermal conductivity, there is a large degree of cancellation of error when these properties are used in heat-transfer equations such as the Dittus-Boelter equation. It is therefore concluded that the properties tabulated in this report are suitable for heat-transfer calculations of gaseous systems.

Sensitivity of pore collapse heating to the melting temperature and shear viscosity of HMX

A multiscale modeling strategy is used to quantify factors governing the temperature rise in hot spots formed by pore collapse from supported and unsupported shock waves in the high explosive HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine). Two physical aspects are examined in detail, namely the melting temperature and liquid shear viscosity. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations of phase coexistence are used to predict the pressure-dependent melting temperature up to 5 GPa. Equilibrium simulations and the Green–Kubo formalism are used to obtain the temperature- and pressure-dependent liquid shear viscosity. Starting from a simplified continuum-based grain-scale model of HMX, in this study we systematically increase the complexity of treatments for the solid–liquid phase transition and liquid shear viscosity in simulations of pore collapse. Using a realistic pressure-dependent melting temperature completely suppresses melting for supported shocks, which is otherwise predicted when treating it as a constant determined at atmospheric pressure. Alternatively, melt pools form around collapsed pores when the pressure (and melting temperature) are reduced during the release stage of unsupported shocks. Capturing the pressure dependence of the shear viscosity increases the peak temperature of melt pools by hundreds of Kelvin through viscous work. The complicated interplay of the solid-phase plastic work, solid–liquid phase transition, and liquid-phase viscous work identified here motivate taking a systematic approach to building increasingly complex grain-scale models.

Correlating viscosity and die swell in 3D printing of polyphenylsulfone: A thermo-mechanical optimization modus operandi

Additive manufacturing (AM) of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), an amorphous high-performance polymer (HPP), has shown promise in exhibiting structural integrity for many applications. With thermoplastic material extrusion 3D printing, parts consisting of layered melts exhibited voids, where the adhesion quality and void size depend on the processing parameters implemented during printing. However, the structure-process-property (SPP) relationships between the thermal properties and rheological and mechanical behavior of AM PPSU are poorly understood. Here, in this study, a comprehensive analysis of the thermal, thermo-mechanical, and layer-by-layer build-up of PPSU is investigated and correlated with viscosity and extrudate die swell behavior with void fraction volume as confirmed by high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (XCT). Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) pyrolysis confirmed PPSU composition and degradation at 480 °C, consistent with thermo-gravimetric analysis TGA. A 141% difference in viscosity was observed when processing temperatures increased from 350 °C to 400 °C. Likewise, extrudate die swell decreased with increasing temperatures, resulting in a 17% difference. Tensile and compressive properties confirmed that higher extruding temperatures resulted in lower porosity and higher mechanical strength. In general, higher extruding temperatures lower the viscosity to allow for stronger cohesion between layers; however, increasing the temperature too high results in a below unity extrudate die swell, reducing mechanical properties. Therefore, to optimize the mechanical integrity of 3D printed amorphous PPSU parts, an increase in the viscosity, near unity of the extrudate die swell, and tempered extrusion temperature are needed.
