Example with symbols and units<br />

Thermal conductivity Am = 0.174 W/(m <strong>•</strong> K)<br />

Specific heat cpm= 2 kj/(kg <strong>•</strong> K)<br />

Melt density pm = 0.7 g/cm 3<br />

Thermal diffusivity a from Equation 5.47:<br />

a=1.243-10~ 7 m 2 /s<br />

Flight clearance 5pLT =0.1 mm<br />

Screw speed N = 80 rpm<br />

Parameter /J from Equation 5.48:<br />

P= 0.027<br />

For Tf = 137.74 0 C, Tm = 110 0 C and Th = 150 0 C<br />

asz from Equation 5.46:<br />

5.2.2.4 Melt Temperature<br />

The exact calculation of melt or stock temperature can be done only on an iterative basis<br />

as shown in the computer program given in [9]. The following relationships and the<br />

numerical example illustrate the basis of calculating the stock temperature. The result<br />

obtained can only be an estimate of the real value, as it lacks the accuracy obtained by<br />

more exact iterative procedures.<br />
