Abstract

One-dimensional flow model for non-Newtonian fluids in a single cavity die with a slot is presented. The equations of mass and momentum in a cavity are treated one-demensionally by assuming an appropriate mean flow over the cross section of the flow. The flow field inside the slot is assumed to be fully developed. The equations of flow for the cavity and the slot are derived and then coupled. We use a finite difference method to solve these governing equations. It is concluded that cavity's geometry and fluid properties affect the uniformity of the flow from the slot, and the presented model agrees with the experimental result.
