A New Solution for Viscosity Identification in a Polymer Production Line via Convection Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

To overcome the inlet temperature uncertainties during an in-line thermo-rheological characterization and to further apply a differential convection method for an injection molding process, a concept of device designing is proposed in this work. An analytical and numerical investigation proves that the proposed concept can provide information on the viscosity of the material via thermal measurements, despite a poorly known inlet temperature.
