Non-rectangular sections

Such non-rectangular sections are common in many RP or unreinforced plastic components. Channels, T-sections, and hollow corner pillars are found in crates and stacking containers, and inverted U-sections and cantilevers that are common in parts such as street lamp housings to aircraft structural parts. 

Walls with Non-rectangular Section or with Openings... 

Walls are more complex to model, analyze, dimension and detail in practical design (especially those with a non-rectangular section). 

Most processing methods involve flow in capillary or rectangular sections, which may be uniform or tapered. Therefore the approach taken here will be to develop first the theory for Newtonian flow in these channels and then when the Non-Newtonian case is considered it may be seen that the steps in the analysis are identical although the mathematics is a little more complex. At the end of the chapter a selection of processing situations are analysed quantitatively to illustrate the use of the theory. It must be stressed however, that even the more complex analysis introduced in this chapter will not give precisely accurate... 

In many simulations of solute-solvent systems the primary focus is the behaviour of the solute the solvent is of relatively little interest, particularly in regions far from the solute molecule. The use of non-rectangular periodic boundary conditions, stochastic boundaries and solvent shells can all help to reduce the number of solvent molecules required and enable a larger proportion of the computing time to be spent simulating the solute In this section we consider a group of techniques that incorporate the effects of solvent without requiring any explicit specific solvent molecules to be present.

We consider a co-extrusion die consisting of an outer circular distribution channel of rectangular cross-section, connected to an extrusion slot, which is a slowly tapering narrow passage between two flat, non-parallel plates. The polymer melt is fed through an inlet into the distribution channel and flows into... 

The melt flow under isothermal conditions, when it is described by the rheological equation for the Newtonian or power law liquid, has been studied in detail63 66). The flow of the non-Newtonian liquid in the channels of non-round cross section for the liquid obeying the Sutterby equation have also been studied 67). In particular, the flow in the channels of rectangular and trigonal cross section was studied. In the analysis of the non-isothermal flow, attention should be paid to the analysis 68) of pseudo-plastic Bingham media. 

This section presents the continuation of Section V. In the latter a new model [10] termed the hat-curved model was described, where a rigid dipole reorients in a hat-like intermolecular potential well having a rounded bottom. This well differs considerably from the rectangular one, which is extensively applied to polar fluids. Now the theory of the hat-curved model will be generalized, taking into account the non-rigidity of a dipole that is, a simplified polarization model of water is described here. 

The same statement can be made about inelastic non-Newtonian fluids, such as the Power Law fluid, from a mathematical solution point of view. In reality, most non-Newtonian fluids are viscoelastic and exhibit normal stresses. For fluids such as those (i.e., fluids described by constitutive equations that predict normal stresses for viscometric flows), theoretical analyses have shown that secondary flows are created inside channels of nonuniform cross section (78,79). Specifically it can be shown that a zero second normal stress difference is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition to ensure the absence of secondary flow (79). Of course, the analyses of flows in noncircular channels in terms of constitutive equations—which, strictly speaking, hold only for viscometric flows—are expected to yield qualitative results only. Experimentally low Reynolds number flows in noncircular channels have not been investigated extensively. In particular, only a few studies have been conducted with fluids exhibiting normal stresses (80,81). Secondary flows, such as vortices in rectangular channels, have been observed using dyes in dilute aqueous solutions of polyacrylamide. Interestingly, these secondary flow vortices (if they exist) seem to have very little effect on the flow rate. 

If non-fluidized gas-particle flow in a vertical trapezoidal tube (rectangular in cross-section, enclosed by two parallel walls and two non-parallel walls with a half angle of cone a, and the bottom of the tube rectangular with width d0 and thickness T0), a similar force balance yields...
