    • Fluid Elasticity in Plastic Pipe Extrusion: Loads on Die Barrel 

      Saengow, Chaimongkol; Giacomin, A. Jeffrey (2017-07)
      In large thick plastic pipe extrusion, the residence in the cooling chamber is long, and the melt inside the pipe sags under its own weight, causing the product to thicken on the bottom (and to thin on the top). To compensate ...

    • Temperature Rise in a Verging Annular Die 

      Younes, Georges R.; Giacomin, A. Jeffrey; Gilbert, Peter H. (2015-12-07)
