Pultrusion adiabatic

In this section, we will describe the application of the rheokinetic model to adiabatic and isothermal pultrusion by the RIP process. Adiabatic pultrusion is defined as a pultrusion... 

Figure 1.18 The temperature of an RVE during adiabatic pultrusion when the temperature of the incoming caprolactam monomer was 90°C and the temperature of the incoming glass fiber was 120°C (bottom line), 140°C (middle line), and 160°C (top line)...

Figure 1.20 Conversion in an RVE during adiabatic (top line) and isothermal (bottom line) pultrusion of glass fiber nylon 6 composite when the initial temperature for adiabatic pultrusion and the isothermal pultrusion temperature were 136°C...

Price (21) analyzed the thermorheological aspects of the processing of epoxy-carbon fiber and polyester-glass fiber. He used a heat transfer model for pultrusion and examined two limiting cases i) isothermal case with uniform die wall temperature and ii) adiabatic case where heat conduction was considered negligible. However no correlation between process variables and temperature profiles was discussed.
