Thermo-viscous Effects in Extrusion of Planar Jets with Solidification
-
A. N. Alexandrou
Abstract
The present work is a study of the thermo-viscous effects in the extrusion of a “power law” liquid with temperature dependent viscosity by including the effects of solidification. This is achieved by using a novel inverse isotherm finite element method. The method is based on an inversely defined (but not inverted) formulation where the isotherms are characteristic transverse coordinate lines. The method allows the simultaneous evaluation of all the field variables as well as the apriori unknown geometric parameters. It is shown that under certain conditions the extrudate can be significantly affected by the presence of the solidification front. Results are presented for die-swell, pressure, and location of solidification as a function of the material properties.
