Abstract
The author gives an approximate solution for determining the temperature of the working surface and the rate of ablation of thermoplastics in a hot gas stream. The flow parameters have been isolated from the properties of the melt, which is characterized only by ropiness and the exponent of the power-law dependence of viscosity on temperature.
