We describe the computer-aided engineering analysis of a linearly tapered coat-hanger die in this paper. The general governing equation for flow distribution inside the die was derived first. On the basis of this equation, we have developed the design formula for a die to deliver uniform flow. In addition, we have also examined the variations of lateral flow uniformities and residence time distributions of polymeric liquids under several different design and operating conditions: (1) using manifolds with non-circular cross-sections, (2) adjusting production widths, (3) delivering fluids with different viscosities, and (4) enlarging manifolds for practical production considerations. 相似文献

The non-isothermal flow of a power-law fluid in a coal-hanger flat die is studied. Equilibrium and thermal equations are solved by using an iterative finite difference method. The pressure distribution, the flow lines, the residence time distribution, the temperature distribution, and the flow uniformity at the end of the die are obtained, with a stress on the effect of thermal regulation and of temperature dependence of the viscosity. 相似文献

The three-dimensional model of isothermal flow of power-law fluid in a coat-hanger die has been developed using finite element
method. The shape of coat-hanger die used in the present model was determined according to the previous analytical design
equation which is based on one-dimensional flow model in the manifold and the slot. Because uniform flow rate across the die
outlet is most important to achieve uniform thickness of extruded polymer sheet or film, flow rate distribution is mainly
examined to determine the valid process condition for the design equation as the design parameters are changed. The effects
of fluid property in terms of power-law index and process parameters not considered in one-dimensional design equation such
as die inlet size and the presence of land were analyzed. Results show that the manifold angle is the most influencing design
parameter on flow rate distribution. When the material of different power-law index from design value is processed, the change
of power-law index affects the uniformity of flow rate appreciably. 相似文献

Meltblown is one of the fastest growing processes for nonwoven production. The design of the coat-hanger geometry of a die is very important for meltblown technology. In this article, melt rheological properties were studied based on capillary rheometry, followed by analysis and simulation of the melt flow in the die and its experimental verification. It is essential for the optimal design of the die and helps to better understand the meltblown process as well. The result of this research showed that the rheological properties of melt flow in the die obey the power-law equation very well in the meltblown process. The coat-hanger die has a good operation feasibility for different resins and various operation conditions from the view of web uniformity. The pressure drop through the orifices is the major contribution to the pressure drop in the die. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 67: 193–200, 1998 相似文献

A simple unified lubrication approach has been proposed to design a coat-hanger die that can deliver wide and uniform liquid sheets. This approach requires that the wall stress in the manifold be constant. With this constraint, any inelastic non-Newtonian fluid model can be used to describe the liquid motion inside the die. Fluid models that can represent the pseudoplastic or viscoplastic behavior of polymeric liquids have been selected for illustration. A general equation that can be solved to determine the effect of production variations on flow uniformity inside the die has also been derived. 相似文献

This article provides an approximate but sufficiently practical method of geometry design of a coat-hanger die having both uniform flow rate and residence time across the full width of the die. Such a die is often needed when a heat-sensitive resin such as poly(vinyl chloride) is sheeted, because different residence times across the die width are apt to cause a sheet defect in the transverse direction of the sheet. Although some assumptions were made facilitating mathematical analysis, an application of this method to a sheeting die 1 m wide gave good uniformity of flow rate and residence time. 相似文献

Coat-hanger dies are commonly used for the extrusion of plastic sheets and films. To describe the flow of a molten polymer through a coat-hanger die, a two-dimensional approach is necessary. Moreover, the thermal effects, which play an important role in the flow distribution, have to be taken into account. In this paper, two numerical models for the simulation of coat-hanger dies are described and compared. These models differ mainly in the simplifying assumptions used and in the treatment of the thermal problem. The simulations obtained with the two models were compared with each other and with experimental data. The discrepancies between the two models can be explained by the different theoretical treatments. 相似文献

The multilayer stratified flow of several polymers in a flat coat-hanger die was modeled using a finite element method. The problem was formulated using the lubrication approximation theory. A solution procedure in decoupling pressure and streamlines was developed. This new method is very powerful in comparison with more classical approaches, permitting the solution of flow problems involving a great number of layers in a complex industrial geometry. It allows us to obtain, among other things, pressure field, streamlines, residence times, and the values of the interface positions in the whole die. 相似文献

This article analyzes the average residence time distribution of polymer melt across the die width in a common linearly tapered coat-hanger die, which excells the T die but is a little inferior to the curvilinearly tapered coat-hanger die in residence time uniformity according to the approximated calculation of ten used. From another point of view, a linearly tapered coat-hanger die may be designed so that a desired ratio of the residence time through the die far end to that along the die center line may be imposed as one of the design constraints. 相似文献

In a previous paper (1), a two-dimensional computation model for multilayer flows in coat-hanger dies was proposed. It was based on lubrication approximation theory and enabled us to obtain the pressure field, the streamlines, and the interface positions in the whole die. The present paper is aimed to present experimental results obtained on an industrial line for a three-layer configuration and to compare the results to the theoretical computation. The order of magnitude of pressure drops, flow rates, and interface positions were correctly predicted by the model. Some remaining discrepancies may be explained by the isothermal assumption and the lack of encapsulation mechanism in the computation. 相似文献

A new coat-hanger die geometry with a uniform flow rate and optional ratio of residence times in manifold and slot is proposed. Such a die will be effective when thermal degradation in the die occurs, especially at die far end. This geometry is easily determined if the flow behavior index n of polymer is assumed. A suitable ratio greater than unity may be taken considering die-height and cost, because lower height is attained as the ratio increases above unity. An example of a design calculation is shown. 相似文献

A study has been performed to examine the process of micropelletization on four different polyethylenes with melt index values between 1 and 5 g/10 min. The experiments were done on a 50‐mm 30:1 L/D extruder with an underwater micropelletizer attached. The average micropellet size that was produced ranged from 0.4 to 0.5 mm in diameter depending on whether a plastomer or high‐density grade was selected. The dimensions of the pellets were influenced strongly by the occurrence of die‐hole freeze‐off. Minor sharkskin was observed on the surface of the micropellets, a result of the high stresses experienced in the pelletizer die. A non‐isothermal, axisymmetric flow model was used to assist in the analysis by comparing the observed results to the predicted shear stresses in the die. The calculations revealed that extremely high shear rates were present in the die holes, resulting in a significant degree of wall slip. The measured rheological properties of the micropellets did not show any change in comparison to their virgin resins, likely because of the presence of wall slippage and the short residence time of the polymer in the die holes.

A slit die viscometer (SDV) was built and evaluated extensively. A major advantage of the SDV is the ability to measure in-line rheological data in a continuous fashion, using a setup that most closely approximates the conditions encountered in a real extrusion process. Comparisons will be presented of viscosity data of the SDV to data from a capillary rheometer (CR) and a Rheometrics Mechanical Spectrometer (RMS). Viscosity values as measured on the SDV tend to be lower than those measured on the CR and RMS. Possible reasons for this disagreement will be discussed. The effect of temperature on viscosity, the effect of pressure on viscosity, and the effect of compressibility will be analyzed in detail. It will be shown that these effects can be substantial, particularly with certain types of polymers. Finally, the feasibility of using the slit die viscometer to determine first normal stress differences will be explored. 相似文献

Fluid mechanics plays an important role in many manufacturing processes including the pultrusion of composite materials. The analysis of fluid mechanics problems generally involves determination of quantities such as pressure and velocity. During the pultrusion process, the short, tapered inlet region of the pultrusion die experiences a significant amount of fluid resin pressure rise. The quality of a pultruded product can be affected by the amount of pressure rise in the pultrusion die inlet. Void formation can be suppressed and good fiber “wet out” achieved by a sufficiently high pressure rise in the pultrusion die inlet region. In this study the change in fluid resin pressure rise as a function of die entrance geometry is investigated by developing a finite element model based on the assumptions of Darcy's law for flow in porous media. The momentum equations are combined with the continuity equation to save computational time and memory. A Galerkin weighted residual based finite element method is developed to solve the resulting equation. This model is capable of predicting the pressure rise in the tapered inlet region of the pultrusion die as well as the straight portion of the die. By varying the size of the preform plates the thickness of the fiber/resin matrix approaching the die inlet can be varied. The finite element model predicts the impact of changing the preform plate size on the fluid resin pressure rise in the pultrusion die. The effect of varying the wedge angle for a linearly tapered die inlet region is also studied using this model. The results in this work can be useful for designing a pultrusion die system. 相似文献

A novel approach is proposed to adjust flow nonuniformities caused by production variations from an extrusion die. A mathematical model that is based on the lubrication approximation was developed, and the effect of four types of production variations was examined separately. To each production variation, a specially designed choker bar was constructed and inserted into the extrusion die to correct flow nonuniformities. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

THE coat‐hanger melt distributor is a device commonly used in the wire coating process. Its task is to distribute the melt around the conductor uniformly. It is quite common that materials and flow rates differ from what had been specified during the design procedure. This may lead to bad performance with materials of very different rheological properties from the design material. In this article, we present an optimal design approach to avoid this loss of performances. This approach involves coupling a three‐dimensional finite element simulation software with an optimization strategy based on a response surface method. The objective is to determine a coat‐hanger melt distributor geometry that ensures a homogeneous exit velocity distribution that will best accommodate for a different range of materials. A coat‐hanger melt distributor with a manifold of constant width is designed, and a set of flow distribution measurements is established for two different materials. The results of numerical simulation are then validated by comparison with experimental measurements. The effect of material change is also investigated. POLYM. ENG.
