A model is formulated to describe quantitatively the melt spinning of a polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) within the low range of take up velocities. The rheology of the polymer …

A steady-state model for melt spinning has been used to carry out analytical simulations and
subsequently provide information on the velocity, diameter, force and temperature profiles …

An interactive computer simulation program has been developed for steady polymer melt
spinning. The program includes inertial and air drag effects, and fluid viscoelasticity is …

The necking behavior in the high‐speed melt‐spinning process of poly (ethylene
terephthalate)(PET) was analyzed using a mathematical simulation under a nonisothermal …

A model of melt spinning has been developed for speeds above which the effects of gravity,
inertia, and aerodynamic drag become significant. The model has as an upper bound the …

An interactive computer simulation of the steady‐state melt spinning of poly (ethylene
terephthalate) was developed based upon a combination of physical laws and empirical …

Melt spinning of poly (ethylene terephthalate) was studied by measuring the filament tension
at the take‐up roll and by measuring filament diameter D (X) at various distances X below …

The fiber‐spinning process is an important industrial operation to manufacture synthetic
fibers. The process occurs under free‐surface conditions, and the final properties of the fiber …

A simplified mathematical model was given based on the actual experimental data from a
laboratory-scale poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) melt spinning. PET fibres were …

Almost all polymer processing operations involve moving and shaping the polymer as a melt
and then cooling it, usually quite rapidly, to a solid state. In order to develop models for such …
