Abstract

The temperature changes as a result of rapid hydrostatic pressure applications are reported for high density polyethylene (HDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) in the reference temperature range from 298 to 423 K and in the pressure range from 13.8 to 200 MN m−2. The adiabatic temperature changes were found to be a function of pressure and temperature. A curve fitting analysis showed that the empirical curve (∂/∂P) =ab(ΔP)b−1 described the experimental thermoelastic coefficients obtained from the experiments. The data were analyzed by determining the predicted thermoelastic coefficients derived from the Thomson equation (∂/∂P)θ = αT 0/ϱC p. The experimental and predicted Grüneisen parameter γ T were also determined.
