Abstract
In this paper, a method combining the orthogonal array design and the numerical simulation is proposed to optimize the geometry parameters of the melt‐blowing slot die. An index, the stagnation temperature, is used to evaluate the performance of the slot die. The stagnation temperature is obtained by simulating the subsonic compressible air jet from the melt‐blowing slot die, whereas the optimization is accomplished by the orthogonal array method. Three geometry parameters of the slot die: slot width, nose piece width, and slot angle are investigated. The results show that smaller slot angle and larger slot width will result in a higher stagnation temperature, which is beneficial to the air drawing of the polymer melt and thus to reducing fiber diameter, whereas the effect of nose piece width is insignificant. The optimal geometry parameters of the melt‐blowing slot die achieved in this study are: slot width of 1.5 mm, slot angle of 30°, and nose piece width of 2 mm.
