In order to find the controlling parameters in this method, in this study, viscous epoxy was propelled by compressed air through clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. Epoxy flow was annular, and it hardened to form a thin, uniform coating on the inner pipe surface. A video camera was employed to record fluid motion, and the thickness of the coating was measured using an image analysis program named ImagJ. Tests were done with varying air temperature, airflow rate, piping configuration, and epoxy temperature. A one-dimensional numerical algorithm was developed to model fluid flow, heat transfer, and epoxy curing. Heating the epoxy makes it move faster because liquid viscosity decreases with increasing temperature. The coating was significantly thicker at the bottom of a horizontal pipe than at the top due to sagging of the epoxy coating after it had been applied, resulting in flow from the top to the bottom of the pipe. Sagging could be reduced by maintaining airflow until curing was almost complete and the epoxy had hardened enough to prevent it from moving easily. The combination of the experimental results and numerical modeling showed that the most important parameters controlling the speed of the epoxy and coating thickness were the air flow rate and temperature, since they determine the shear forces on the epoxy layer and the rate at which the epoxy cures. Raising air temperature increases the reaction rate and therefore decreases the time required for the epoxy to cure inside the pipe. The results of the simulation showed a very good agreement with the experimental results in pipes with 1-in diameter or less.
