Abstract
Assuming the melt to be in laminar flow, a complete analysis would answer the following questions: Given the material constants, the geometry of the equipment and the selected operating variables, what will be:
-
(i)
the thickness of the foil or sheet produced;
-
(ii)
the temperature distribution in the material;
-
(iii)
the rate of draw through the roll nip;
-
(iv)
the force which tends to separate the rolls and acts on the calender bearings; (v) the power required to work the calender.
