Solution<br />

Heating power Nn:<br />

Mass flow rate of the plastic m :<br />

As the area of the heating element is small compared to that of the sheet the equation<br />

applies [14]<br />

total area of the heating element Ag = 2 <strong>•</strong> A so that we have<br />

T<br />

= 9.95<br />

100<br />

T = 995 K<br />

3.7 Dielectric Heating<br />

The dielectric heat loss that occurs in materials of low electrical conductivity when placed<br />

in an electric field alternating at high frequency is used in bonding operations, for example,<br />

to heat-seal plastic sheets or films.<br />

The power dissipated in the polymer is given by [14]<br />

where<br />

Nn= power (W)<br />

/ = frequency of the alternating field (s" 1 )<br />

C = capacitance of the polymer (farads)<br />

E = applied voltage (Volt)<br />

0 = phase angle<br />
