Package pressure profiles

Fig. 9.37 Simulated and measured pressure profiles for an LDPE extruded in a 2.5-in-diameter, 26.5 length-to-diameter ratio extruder, with a metering-type screw having 12.5 feed section with channel depth of 0.37 in and 4.5 turns of metering section of depth of 0.1275. The flow rate is 136 lb/h, the screw speed 60 rpm, and the barrel temperature was set at 300°F. The SBP is shown in Fig. 9.24. The screw geometry is shown at the top of the figure. Simulation was carried out by the first computer simulation package for plasticating extrusion developed by the Western Electric Princeton Engineering Research Center team (17).

Darcy s law and by the Brinkman equation, respectively. It can be seen that, in both approaches, the pressure profiles within the free liquor (tube) are quite stable and almost constant under the different inflow rates the pressure profiles within the porous package decrease almost linearly at the different inflow rates. 

Pressure profiles for different package thicknesses where the inflow rate and tube size are kept constant.

In addition to the light weight in the above requirements, the pressure controller was designed to have a low profile for easy stowage and to facilitate its incorporation into future combat soldier uniforms. The packaging was also designed so that tourniquet straps from 1.5 to 3 in. in width could be used. This consideration would allow for wider tourniquets to be used on larger limbs and proxel limbs, and narrower... 

Exploration for an acceptable or optimum design for a new reactor may require consideration of several feed and product specifications, reactor types, catalysts, operating conditions, and economic evaluations. Modifications to an existing process likewise may need to consider many cases. Commercial software may be used to facilitate examination of options. A typical package can handle a number of reactions in various ideal reactors under isothermal, adiabatic, or heat-transfer conditions in one or two phases. Outputs can provide profiles of composition, pressure, and temperature as well as vessel size. 

The mill had the choice either to shut the machine or upgrade to improve the stretch and TEA values and the profiles in the cross direction. The mill acted to address the CD profile problems by upgrading the dryer section of the paper machine to improve dryer pocket humidity profiles. At the same time, the mill also decided to upgrade the product quality from flat sack to semi-extensible sack papers. Semi-extensible sack paper is an ideal sustainable packaging solution where high pressure and high-speed filling are... 

On the basis of volume, by far the majority of PVC is extruded. Rigid applications include pressure and drain/waste/vent pipe, siding, window profile, fence deck, and rail. Packaging applications include bottles (by extrusion blow molding) and rigid sheet. Rexible applications include medical tubing, hose, wire insulation (by extrusion coating), and cove base. 

Shannon et al. developed a flow model which, using a finite difference method, predicts pressure and velocity profiles based on user-defined package geometry, permeability profile and fluid properties. The flow model was obtained by combining the continuity equation for fluid flow in a porous medium ... 

The flow model presented in this work can not only output the profile for velocity of the flow within the yam package it can also output the profiles for pressure throughout the package directly. The measurement of flow velocity in different parts of porous packages is practically not possible, while the measurement of pressures inside and outside the package is quite convenient. In order to validate the numerical flow model results, the relationship between the flow rate and liquor pressure throughout the system is required.
