Preliminary experiments were carried out with margarine and showed the methodology pontential in the verification of the thermal and electrical behavior of pasty materials.It was investigated a set of eight samples formed by different compositions of three vegetable oils:cotton,palm and soy in different proportions and within two synthesis methods (basic mixture of intersterification).The sample capacitance was normalized by the empty cell to obtain the relative dielectric constant of the sample.The models for the thermal and electrical data interpretation were developed.For the thermal case simulations were proceeded for a basic oil in order to verify the model.The graphs for thermal amplitude and phase from both sensors were plotted as a function of modulation frequency from which the thermal properties were obtained by fitting the model equations.The values of thermal effusivity,thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and relative dielectric constant were obtained for the samples and the transition melting region as well.The results have shown that the cell here developed is very suitable for the determination of thermal and electrical properties of pasty samples and the determination of transition as well. / Doutorado / Física Geral / Doutor em Ciências

Dans un contexte d’augmentation constante des volumes de boues d’épuration à traiter, l’optimisation du traitement des boues est un enjeu primordial. Les étapes de traitement, et de transport mettent en jeu des écoulements qu’il est nécessaire de comprendre et de prédire afin, par exemple, de pour pouvoir estimer les pertes de charges en conduite ou bien pour dimensionner les installations de pompage. D’un point de vue physique, les boues peuvent être considérées comme une suspension de particules dans un gel suspendant. Ainsi, le comportement rhéologique des boues d’épuration présente des similitudes importantes avec les suspensions colloïdales et les gels polymériques. Ces trois types de matériaux, i.e. les boues d’épuration, les gels colloïdaux et les suspensions polymériques, présentent un comportement rhéologique complexe dépendant du temps et de la sollicitation imposée. Ils présentent un comportement dual, solide aux contraintes faibles, et liquide pour des contraintes élevées. La transition solide-liquide est généralement modélisée par la définition d’un seuil de contrainte ou de déformation, supposé séparer les régimes solide et liquide. Cependant, cette notion de seuil suppose une transition abrupte, et s’oppose aux observations expérimentales qui mettent en évidence une transition continue et progressive. L’étude de la littérature a permis de mettre en évidence une nécessité d’améliorer la compréhension et la modélisation du phénomène de transition solide-liquide. De plus, il est nécessaire d’unifier la description des régimes solide et liquide sous un même modèle, afin de mettre en lien une continuité mathématique avec le caractère continu et progressif du phénomène physique modélisé. Une analyse des résultats disponibles dans la littérature nous a permis de construire un modèle mathématique unique pour décrire le comportement solide et le comportement liquide des matériaux étudiés. Les hypothèses posées à partir de la littérature pour construire ce modèle ont ensuite été validées expérimentalement. Le modèle proposé est basé sur la décomposition de la complaisance du matériau en la somme d’une contribution solide et d’une contribution liquide, dépendant du temps, de la sollicitation appliquée et de l’histoire du matériau. Ce modèle permet une description commune des comportements solides et liquides du matériau, en tenant compte de l’existence d’une élasticité résiduelle y compris pour des contraintes élevées, et d’une dissipation visqueuse faible pour les contraintes faibles, conformément aux résultats expérimentaux. Ces travaux de thèse ont permis de mettre en évidence le fait que le mécanisme de transition solide-liquide était piloté non pas par la contrainte ou par la déformation, mais par la complaisance du matériau. De plus, ils ont permis d’ouvrir la voie à une nouvelle manière d’appréhender la thixotropie et la transition solide-liquide des matériaux pâteux. En effet, le comportement d’un matériau pâteux est piloté par deux paramètres : un module élastique plateau correspondant à un état totalement structuré, et une viscosité infinie correspondant à un état totalement déstructuré. Ces paramètres intrinsèques au matériau sont alors pondérés par des évolutions de la microstructure, menant à une compétition entre les effets élastiques et les effets visqueux. Ainsi, la différence entre un comportement de type loi de puissance et un comportement de type loi de puissance à seuil peut être expliquée simplement par l’apparition d’effets élastiques non négligeables. / In a context of constant increasing volumes of wastewater treatment sludge, optimizing the treatment of sludge appears to be crucial. Each step of treatment and transportation involves flows. It appears necessary to understand and predict these flows in order, for example, to estimate pressure drops in pipes or to size properly pumping facilities. In a physical point of view, sludge can be considered as a suspension of particles in a gel. Thus, its rheological behaviour presents significant similarities to that of colloidal suspensions of polymeric gels. These three types of materials, i.e. wastewater treatment sludge, colloidal suspensions and polymeric gels, present a complex rheological behaviour which depend on both time and the applied solicitation. They exhibit a dual behaviour, solid at low shear stresses, and liquid when the applied shear stress is high. The solid-liquid behaviour is generally modelled by defining a critical shear stress or a critical strain, supposed to be the limit between the solid and liquid regimes. Nevertheless, this concept implies an abrupt transition, unlike experimental observations showing a continuous and progressive transition. The study of the literature permitted to highlight the need to improve the understanding and modelling of the solid-liquid transition. Moreover, it appears necessary to unify the description of the solid and liquid regime in a unique model, in order to link a mathematical continuity with thecontinuous and progressive nature of the physical phenomenon to model. The study of the results available in the literature permited us to build a unique mathematical model to describe both the solid behaviour and the liquid behaviour of the studied materials. The assumptions made from the literature results have thus been experimentally validated. The proposed model is based on the decomposition of the compliance of the material in the sum of a solid contribution and a liquid contribution, depending on time, the applied solicitation and the story of the material. This model permits a unique description of solide and liquid regimes of the material, taking into account the existence of a residual elasticity at high shear stresses, and a viscous dissipation for low shear stresses, in accordance with experimental results. This work permitted to highlight the fact that the solid-liquid transition mecanism is controlled by the compliance of the material, and not the shear stress or the strain. Moreover, it opened the way to a new way of understanding the thixotropy and the solid-liquid transition of pasty materials. Thus, the behaviour of a pasty material is controlled by two parameters : a plateau elastic modulus corresponding to a totally structured state, and an infinite viscosity corresponding to a totally destructured state. These parameters intrinsic to the material are pondered by the evolutions of the microstructure, leading to a competition between elastic and viscous effects. Thus, the difference between the power law behaviour and the Herschel-Bulkley behaviour can be simply explained by the apparition of elastic effects that can’t be neglected.
