Abstract

AbstractThis article presents the results of a numerical study (finite differences) of the heat transfer problem in flowing polymer melts. The tube wall is assumed to be at a constant temperature. The rheological behavior of the melt is described by a power law temperature‐dependent model. A convective and a viscous dissipation term are included in the energy equation. Temperature profiles, bulk temperatures, and Nusselt numbers are presented for a variety of flow entry temperatures.
