Example 4<br />

Melt flow through an annulus with an outside radius R0 = 40 mm, an inside radius<br />

R1 = 39 mm, and of length L = 100 mm.<br />

The resin is LDPE with the same viscosity constants as in Example 1. The process<br />

parameters, mass flow rate, and melt temperature remain the same.<br />

Solution<br />

Volume flow rate<br />

Shear rate y^ from Equation 5.11:<br />

Shift factor aT from Equation 1.34:<br />

Power law exponent n from Equation 1.37:<br />

n = 2.907<br />

Viscosity 7]a from Equation 1.36:<br />

?7a = 579.43 Pa <strong>•</strong> s<br />

Shear stress T from Equation 1.22:<br />

T= 200173.6 N/m 2<br />

Factor of proportionality K from Equation 1.26:<br />

K= 1.3410 -10" 13<br />

Correction factor Fp<br />

As the ratio — = 248.19 is greater than 37, no correction is necessary.<br />

G annuius from Equation 5.8:
