Abstract

Modern optical fibers require a double-layer coating on the glass fiber in order to provide protection from signal attenuation and mechanical damage. The most important plastic resins used in wires and optical fibers are plastic polyvinyl chloride, low- and high-density polyethylene, nylon, and polysulfone. One of the most important things that affect the final product after processing is the design of the coating die. In the present study, double-layer optical fiber coating is performed using melt polymer satisfying the Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluid model in a pressure-type die. The fluid is electrically conducted in the presence of applied magnetic field. Wet-on-wet coating process is applied for double-layer optical fiber coating. The assumption of fully developed flow of PTT fluid model, two-layer liquid flows of an immiscible fluid, is modeled in an annular die of length L, where the fiber is dragged at a higher speed. The equations characterizing the flow ad heat transfer phenomena are solved exactly and the effects of emerging parameters are shown with the help of graphs. It is interesting to remark that an increase in the non-Newtonian parameters increases the velocity in the absence or presence of slip parameters, which coincides with the results reported earlier. Also, the effect of important parameters such as Deborah numbers, slip parameters, magnetic parameter, characteristic velocity, radii ratio, and Brinkman numbers on the axial velocity, flow rate, thickness of coated fiber optics, and temperature distribution are investigated. Furthermore, the results were compared with the experimental results already published. To the best of our knowledge, no such analysis of the double-layer coating flows of PTT fluid using slip conditions is available in the literature. At the end, the result of the present work is also compared with the experimental results already published by taking λ → 0 (non-Newtonian parameter).
