Theoretical Analysis on Flow of Polymer Melts in Screw Die

Abstract

Flow of polymer melt in screw dies is theoretically analyzed by the broken section method with the uniformity of the extrudates. An isothermal, laminar and steady state power law fluid is assumed. The analysis is discussed in two parts, i.e., screw flow and die slit flow. A way of computer calculation by means of a method of iteration is presented by considering volume balance between screw flow and slit flow.

An ideal screw die is one in which pressure distribution is constant along the screw axis, i.e., the shape of the die slit is constant along the axis and the screw is such that the depth of screw channel decreases almost linearly.     

Investigation of Unsteady Elongational Flow of Polymer Melts

Abstract

A method for estimation of the viscoelastic characteristics of polymer melts in the prestationary elongational flow is given. The experimental data show that at specific strain rates the polymer starts to respond to dynamic deformation as a highly elastic material. The viscoelastic characteristics of the polymer in the prestationary extensional flow can be described by a modified Maxwell equation.

Mathematical Description of Deformation of a Dispersed Phase Polymer in Flow of Melts of Polymer Blends

A mathematical model of deformation of a dispersed phase polymer drop in flow of a polymer blend melt from a wide tank into a narrow tank was created using a structurally continuous approach. The model allows calculating deformation of a drop in flow, determining its location, and taking into account the effect of the elasticity of the dispersed phase polymer, ratio of the viscosities of the components, and the hydrodynamic interaction of the drops on their deformability. The system of differential equations obtained satisfactorily describe processes of flow of polymer blend melts in the input zone of the spinning opening: drop size q is a function of the ratio of the viscosities of the initial components, their absolute values, and the volume concentration of dispersed phase; the elasticity of the drop worsens its deformability.

Nonisothermal Flow of Polymer Solutions and Melts in Channels of Constant Cross Section

Under the assumption that the temperature of a polymer solution or melt is constant over a channel cross section, the nonisothermal flow in various channels of constant longitudinal geometry was investigated in the cases where the polymeric liquid viscosity varies with temperature exponentially or hyperbolically. It was demonstrated that solving the problem of the flow of polymeric liquids under nonisothermal conditions is reduced to solving identical equations for different channels, and the pressure difference in channels and the power consumption are determined from the corresponding isothermal solutions with allowance made for a certain factor, which is constant for different channels.

Equal Low-Order Finite Element Simulation of the Planar Contraction Flow for Branched Polymer Melts

The rheological characteristics of branched polymer melts is described by the modified XPP model, which is discretized by inconsistent streamline-upwind method. A finite increment calculus procedure is introduced to reformulate the mass equation and to overcome oscillations of the pressure field. Moreover, the governing equations are discretized and solved by the iterative fractional step algorithm. Thus the equal low-order finite elements for velocity-pressure-stress variables are adopted to calculate the planar contraction viscoelastic flows. The influences of the Weissenberg number and the amount of branched-arms on the rheological behavior of the Pom-Pom molecule are discussed. Results demonstrate good agreement with those given in the literatures.

The Rheology of Wetting By Polymer Melts

Theoretically, the rate of capillary penetration of a polymer melt into a slit, a model for a surface irregularity, has been shown to depend on γcosθ/η) where γ refers to the surface tension of the liquid, η its viscosity and θ a time-dependent contact angle. Analytical expressions relating the depth of penetration with time have been experimentally verified by observations of the penetration of molten polyethylene and poly-(ethylene-vinyl acetate) into aluminum channels. Values of η, calculated from the observed data, agree closely with independent determinations of this material parameter. A theoretical treatment has also been developed which describes the velocity of spreading of a liquid drop over a flat surface. Flow equations for the flow of free films were adapted for this purpose. The spreading velocity is predicted to depend on the product of three factors (1) a scaling factor, (γ/η1R_o), where R_o is the initial radius of curvature, (2) cosθ_∞. (l-cosθ/cosθ_∞) where θ_∞ refers to the equilibrium value of θ, and (3) geometric terms. After demonstrating that a drop of molten polymer may be treated as a spherical cap, the predicted dependence of spreading rate on drop size, cosθ_∞ (nature of the substrate) and the scaling factor was experimentally verified. Some discrepancies noted at long times and high temperatures are discussed.
