Modeling Polymer Melt Flow at the Outlet from an Extruder Molding Tool

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Use of a Phan-Thien–Tanner model for simulating viscoelastic liquid flow at the outlet from an extruder molding tool is proposed. A dependence for free extruded surface profile of cylindrical extruded objects on Deborah number is determined. Modeling results may be used for selecting extrusion processing regimes and in designing new extrusion heads with the aim of improving object quality characteristics.
