Abstract
1. Introduction
2. Procedure
Approximately 300 ml of fluid was slowly and carefully poured into the
reservoir. At least 10 min was allowed for the solution to relax. Fluid was
delivered to the tube by applying a pressure at the reservoir. At a given
pressure, the transducer was zeroed by placing the container immediately
below the tube to catch the issuing fluid. Hence the baseline was not
distorted by gravitational, jet thrust or “Bourdon tube” effects. The flow
rate was measured by a catch and weigh technique, and it was noted that
there was only a small increase (less than 5%) in flow rate at a given pressure
between a filament falling under gravity and one being taken up at the
highest speed. It was also noted that a free jet issuing from the tube
exhibited very little die swell. This was not totally surprising, even though
Ml is a highly elastic liquid, since by using a large internal diameter tube,
wall shear rates at exit were calculated to be less than 20 s-t.
Each run, with a fresh sample, provided several sets of data. Each set
consisted of a flow rate, a force measurement, a take-up speed, a spinline
length and a video image of the filament. This image was then processed
off-line to provide a subsidiary set of data of length and corresponding
diameter.
3. Results
Over the whole series of experiments, spinline lengths were varied be-
tween 30 and 90 mm, take-up speeds from 50 to 800 mm s-t and flow rates
from 13 to 96 mg s-l, and measured loads ranged from 0.9 to 106 mN. As a
general rule a small amount of die swell was observed when take-up speeds
were kept below 200 mm s-l. From this point to about 300 mm s-‘,
extension appeared to start at the tube exit. Above 300 mm s-l, the
extension appeared to start a short way inside the tube. This phenomenon
has been previously observed by Sridhar and Gupta [3], who associate it
with detachment and slip inside the tube. The values given above did change
somewhat with flow rate and spinline length.

The data were analysed using the full method [2,4]. It was found that
contributions to the extensional force from gravity, surface tension and
inertia were always less than 5% of the measured force. Therefore, these
experiments can be considered to take place under essentially constant force

conditions. The velocity vs. distance data were curve fitted, and from this
the rate of strain and time of extension could be calculated as functions of
distance down the spinline. Typical examples are shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Since these are essentially constant force experiments, the force balance used
to determine the stress can be reduced to

where u is the stress and V the velocity, and the subscript 0 denotes
conditions at the point at which measurement starts. This can be rewritten
as

where z is the Hencky strain (ln( V/V,)).

All results showed Ino to be a linear function of strain, with slope unity
and intercept dependent upon the initial value of stress.
From the calculated values of stress and strain rate, the apparent elonga-
tional viscosity was determined. Examples are given in Figs. 3-5. In Fig. 3,
the results are from runs in which the flow rate and filament length were
kept virtually constant, and only the drum speed was varied, from 150 to
500 mm s-i. As can be seen, although the trend of the change of nn with
strain is similar between runs, the level increases with drum speed. Above a
strain of about 2.5, qn appears to go through a maximum, and the fluid
begins to strain thin. In Fig. 4, the drum speed was kept constant at 200 mm
S -I, whilst flow rates were varied from 22 to 66 mg s-l, and filament lengths
from 45 to 70 mm. Within the experimental error, there is reasonable
correlation. There appear to be maxima at strains of 0.5 and 2.5, and a
minimum at a strain of 1.0. However, at zero strain, the value of qn is still
100 times no. In Fig. 5, the drum speed has been increased to 500 mm s-l.
Flow rates varied between 29 and 95 mg s-l, and filament lengths from 45
