Abstract
Abstract: A non-isothermal analysis of calendering by using the Rabinowitsch fluid model is presented in this article. The flow equations are simplified by utilizing the lubrication approximation theory. The exact expressions of velocity and pressure gradient are obtained. The pressure distribution and engineering quantities are computed numerically by employing the Runge-Kutta algorithm. The temperature distribution is obtained by solving the energy equation numerically using the hybrid numerical method. The influence of the involved parameters on the velocity profile, pressure, pressure gradient and mechanical quantities such as roll-separating force, power function and exiting sheet thickness are shown graphically. The temperature distribution at various axial points is also shown through graphs.
