The major forces involved in the formation of a tablet compact are illustrated in Fig. 14 (a single-ended model) and are notated as follows FA represents the axial pressure, which is the force applied to the compact by the upper punch, FL is the force translated to the lower punch, and Fr is the force lost to the die wall. If one remembers that for every force there must be an equal and opposite force, the following relationship is obvious ...

In open rod bundles, transverse flow between subchannels is detectable by variations in hydraulic conditions, such as the difference in equivalent diameter in rod and shroud areas (Green et al., 1962 Chelemer et al., 1972 Rouhani, 1973). The quality of the crossflow may be somewhat higher than that of the main stream (Madden, 1968). However, in view of the small size of the crossflow under most circumstances, such variation generally will not lead to major error in enthalpy calculations. The homogeneous flow approximation almost universally used in subchannel calculations appears to be reasonable (Weisman, 1973). The flow redistribution has a negligible effect on the axial pressure drop.

Figure 1.6 Axial pressure profiles for a) Example 2 where the extruder is operating properly (all channels are full and pressurized), and b) Example 3 where the extruder is operating improperly. For Example 3, the channel is not pressurized between diameters 12 and 22, indicating that the channels are partially filled at these locations...

The axial pressure and temperature distributions for the molten resin in the melt-conveying channel are calculated using the control volume method outlined in Section 7.7.5. For this method, the change in pressure and temperature are calculated using the local channel dimensions, HJ z) and FK (z), and the mass flow rate in the channel using Eq. 7.54 for flow and the methods in Section 7.7.5.1 for energy dissipation and temperature. The amount of mass added to the melt chan-...

The baseline process was simulated using the data in Table 9.1 to determine the pressure and temperature at the entry to the metering section. After several iterations, the pressure and temperature were determined to be 22 MPa and 190 °C, respectively. The simulated axial pressure and temperature are shown in Fig. 9.2.

The dashed line is the estimated pressure. The simulation predicts a discharge pressure and temperature of 5.8 MPa and 273 °C, respectively...

The baseline extrusion process was numerically simulated using the processing conditions in Table 9.4 and the method described in Section 9.2.1, that is, with a rate of 77 kg/h, a screw speed of 27 rpm, and a discharge pressure of 10.6 MPa. The iterative calculation process was used to estimate a bulk temperature of 160 °C and a pressure of 13.1 MPa at the entrance to the meter section. The axial pressure and temperature profile for the simulation is shown in Fig. 9.5.
