Wire coating analysis using Phan–Thien–Tanner fluid subject to Lorentz force as a polymer coating material in a canonical covering die

Abstract

Wire coating is widely used for electrical insulation to protect the wire from electric shock, prevent electrical leakage, and ensure that the electrical current flows smoothly. In this investigation, a pressurized coating die is used to explore the PTT fluid as a polymer material for wire in a magnetic field. The flow field, flow rate, temperature profile, thickness of the wire coating, volume flow rate, and shear stress are all given exact solutions. Graphs were used to illustrate the effects of certain important technical parameters, including flow rate, wire coating thickness, shear stress, and pressure gradient. It has been noted that as the values of X, Deborah number, and ratio of radii are improved, the volume and thickness of the coated wire rise. The Deborah number has a higher volume flow than the X and radii ratios. A reference to existing literature is made in order to support the validity of the current study.
