Cooling of the rolling rubber-film on cooling-drums is a common practice in the final stage to achieve good quality of the rubber-film. In this paper, the stable heat transfer process of the rubber-film on the cooling-drums was simulated with a simplified fluid rubber-film method. The temperature at the film on each cooling-drum is obtained and compared with experimental measurements. It is found that the simulation results well agree with the measurements, indicating that the method proposed here is valid. In addition, parameter sensitivity on the cooling efficiency of the system were studied to provide the references for engineering applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
