Four melt films

The new melting model presented in this section qualitatively fits the experimental data observed by many previous researchers. Like the Tadmor and Klein model [8], this model is based on simplistic assumptions and linear mathematics for the melt films. The new model, however, does not require the reorganization of the solid bed like the Tadmor and Klein model. Furthermore, the new model allows viscous dissipation and melting in all four melt films, and does not restrict all melting to the Zone C film. Melting in the Zone D melt film becomes highly important when the boundary conditions are switched from barrel rotation to the actual conditions of screw rotation.

This analysis starts with the assumption that melting occurs in all four melt films that surround the solid bed. The initial analysis will be carried out for Film C in Fig. A6.1. The film is located between the barrel and the solid bed interface. This analysis describes the viscous energy dissipation in the film and the energy conduction from the barrel wall and how they relate to the melting flux at the solid bed-melt interface. 

The scalar values for the vectorial velocities for the four polymer films that account for the heat transfer and dissipative melting may be calculated as follows ... 

It is now useful to examine the melting energy at the four solid interfaces for this new model and for the historical Tadmor model [8]. The dissipation data from the simulations are summarized in Table 6.1 for a PE resin with a viscosity of 880 Pa-s. Examination of the table points out that the vectorial velocities (V)) for Zones C and D are very different for the assumption of barrel and screw rotation, as presented previously and as shown in Table 6.1. Eor the historic model, all energy is dissipated in the Zone C melt film, and the cumulative energy for melting was calculated... 

Recalling the discussion earlier in this chapter, in most cases melting in the channel typically occurs at all four edges of the solid bed, with the majority of the melting occurring at the solid bed-melt film interface located between the solid bed and the barrel wall, as shown in Eig. 6.2. The newly molten resin from this location is then conveyed by the motion of the screw to a melt pool located at the pushing side of the channel. Eor very special and sometimes unpredictable conditions, the melting process can occur by a different mechanism. In these cases, the... 

Figure 3 shows four series of EFM images recorded on different polymer melt film species. The first image of each series shows the non-charged melt film surface (initial state). Employing a conductive silicon cantilever charges were deposited on the polymer melt film surfaces. Immediately after the charge deposition the time was set at t = 0. 

The calendering configuration of rolls may consist of two to at least seven rolls. The number of rolls and their arrangement characterizes them. Examples of the layout of the rolls are the true L , conventional inverted L , reverse fed inverted L , I , Z , and so on. The most popular are the four-roll inverted L and Z rolls. The Z calenders have the advantage of lower heat loss in the film or sheet because of the melts shorter travel and the machines simpler construction. They are simpler to construct because they need less compensation for roll bending. This compensation occurs because there are no more than two rolls in any vertical direction as opposed to three rolls in a four roll inverted L calender and so on.

As Stated above, both Ws(z) and are fixed by the geometry of the screw. A schematic representation of the solid hed in the channel is shown in Fig. 6.25 for a barrier section geometry similar to that of Fig. 6.23(a). This representation depicts how the four films change In dimension as the solid bed is consumed in the melting section of the screw. 

Assuming one-dimensional heat transfer is the mode of the solid bed heating due to the heating of the film by conduction and dissipation, the temperature will only change in the y direction. The same assumption that was made by Tadmor and Klein will be made here that the heat transfer model is a semi-infinite slab moving at a velocity Vsy c (melting velocity) with the boundary conditions T(0) = and j(-oo) = 7 , This assumption is not strictly correct because it will also be proposed that the other four surfaces are melting. The major error will occur at the corners of the solid bed. is the velocity of the solid bed surface adjacent to Film C as it moves toward the center of the solid bed in the y direction. 

A complete analysis of the IR spectra of thienothiophenes 1 and 2 in the gaseous, liquid, and crystalline states was carried out by Kimel feld et a/. The following isotopically substituted compounds were also studied 2-deuterothieno[2,3-h]thiophene (l-2d), 2-deuterothieno[3,2-I)]-thiophene (2-2d), 2,5-dideuterothieno[2,3-h]thiophene (l-2,5-d2), and 2,5-dideuterothieno[3,2-h]thiophene (2-2,5-dj). The IR spectra of oriented polycrystalline films of all compounds were measured in polarized light, and Raman spectra of liquid thienothiophenes 1, l-2d, and 1-2,5-dj, of crystals of thienothiophenes 2 and 2-2,5-d2 and melts of thienothiophenes 2 and 2-2d were analyzed. The planar structure of point-group Cj, for thienothiophene 1 in the liquid and gaseous states was assumed. Then the thirty vibrations of compounds 1 and l-2,5-d2 can be divided into four symmetry classes Aj (11), Bj (10), A2 (4), and B2 (5) the vibrations of molecule (l-2d) (C, symmetry) are divided into two classes A (21) and A" (9).
