Abstract:In
the blown film industry, the nonuniformity in films has been
one of the most important problems, and the existing structures of
blown films dies have many disadvantages, such as long thermal process
and complex structure. This work proposes a novel flow channel structure
of blown film die via theoretical modeling and verified by numerical
simulations. The results show that the new structure is simple without
the mandrel structure that is commonly used in the blown film die,
capable of achieving the circumfe… Show more
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.
