Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to varify, the air drawing model and the air jet flow field model of dual slot shape die for a polymer in a melt blowing process were established, by the experimental results obtained with experimental equipment. Design/methodology/approach – The air jet flow field model is solved by introducing the finite difference method. The air drawing model of polymers in the melt blowing process was studied with the help of the simulation results of the air jet flow field. Findings – The higher air initial velocity and air initial temperature can all yield finer fibers and causes the fibers to be attenuated to a greater extent. Originality/value – The predicted fiber diameter agrees well with the experimental result, which verifies the reliability of these models. At the same time, the results also reveal the great potential of this research for the computer-assisted design of melt blowing technology.
