This study proposed a novel smoldering-driven reactor for plastic waste (PW) pyrolysis. The
heat from self-sustaining smoldering was used to pyrolyze PW to produce oil and gas, a …

Plastic pallets are essential devices for the transport of industrial products within containers
and can be made from recycled plastics to be more environmentally friendly. However …

In a regular extrusion process for thermoplastic specimen, the material behavior in dies and
its rheological properties have a major influence on the mechanical properties and the …

Numerical simulation plays a crucial role in polymer processing. This paper analyzes the
extrusion of two rubber blends using the Bird–Carreau viscous model and the Phan‐Thien …

In the study described in this article, we aimed to apply multiparametric optimization to the
processing conditions in a spider die used for the extrusion of polymers, in this case, high …

ABSTRACT A spider extrusion die was designed and manufactured with the aid of a
threedimensional polymer flow analysis. The methods used were the computer fluid …

Extrudate properties are largely shaped by the thermal and rheological phenomena
occurring in the plasticizing systems of extruders, the channels and die of the extrusion …

The extrusion process is greatly affected by both feed zone geometry and dimensions of
pellets fed into the hopper. The paper presents the results of studies undertaken to …

Transport phenomena is an integral part of many engineering curricula. Some programs,
particularly in chemical engineering, teach transport phenomena in an integrated manner …

Dentro os diferentes tipos de resinas plásticas disponíveis no mercado, o polietileno de alta
densidade (PEAD) é certamente uma das mais notórias. Seu relativo baixo custo, boa …
