Nomenclature:<br />

a: thermal diffusivity (m 2 /s)<br />

g: acceleration due to gravity (m/s 2 )<br />

/: characteristic length (m)<br />

p: ressure (N/m )<br />

t. time (s)<br />

Indices<br />

D, P: memory and process of polymer respectively<br />

AT: Temperature difference (K)<br />

w: Velocity of flow (m/s)<br />

O1: Outside heat transfer coefficient [W/(m 2 <strong>•</strong> K)]<br />

/J: Coefficient of volumetric expansion (K" )<br />

/J1: Temperature coefficient in the power law of viscosity (KT 1 )<br />

(5S: Mass transfer coefficient (m/s)<br />

& Diffusion coefficient (m 2 /s)<br />

Tj: Viscosity (Ns/m 2 )<br />

A: Thermal conductivity (Index i refers to the inside value) [W/(m K)]<br />

v: Kinematic viscosity (m 2 /s)<br />

tv: Residence time (s)<br />

p: Density (kg/m 3 )<br />

3.4.1 Physical Meaning of Dimensionless Groups<br />

Biot number: Ratio of thermal resistances in series: (/ / A1) / (1 / oQ<br />

Application: heating or cooling of solids by heat transfer through conduction and<br />

convection<br />

Brinkmann number: ratio of heat dissipated (T] w ) to heat conducted (AAT)<br />

Application: polymer melt flow<br />

Fourier number: ratio of a characteristic body dimension to an approximate temperature<br />

wave penetration depth for a given time [16]<br />

Application: unsteady state heat conduction<br />

Deborah number: ratio of the period of memory of the polymer to the duration of<br />

processing [13]. At Deb > 1 the process is determined by the elasticity of the material,<br />

whereas at Deb < 1 the viscous behavior of the polymer influences the process remarkably.<br />

Grashof number: ratio of the buoyant force g /5 <strong>•</strong> AT f to factional force (v)<br />

Application: heat transfer by free convection<br />

Graetz number: ratio of the time to reach thermal equilibrium perpendicular to the<br />

flow direction (I 2 Ia) to the residence time (tv)<br />

Application: heat transfer to fluids in motion
