Deborah Number Stress analyses are based upon: Time, Temperature, Rate EMA 4161C - Polymer Physical Properties * Dimensionless number, related directly to the relaxation time or diffusion time of the polymer chains and the experimental time. Critical to consider with respect to the processing design. Reynolds Number A descriptor for the boundary between “laminar” or plug flow and “turbulent” flow. The Re value must exceed 2100 to 2300 to reach turbulent flow character. EMA 4161C - Polymer Physical Properties * Where D is the diameter (cm) of the channel, V is the velocity of the fluid, ?
