THERMAL EFFECTS IN THE FLOW OF A POLYMER AQUEOUS SOLUTION THROUGH A HYDROCUTTING JET-FORMING HEAD

An experimental study of the rise in the temperature of a water–polymer jet, which occurs in hydrocutting and is caused by the Joule–Thomson effect, has enabled the authors to propose a method to enhance the process of hydrojet water–polymer cutting of materials.
