I have a barrel extruder that is extruding plastic. I need to find the shape factor for a square die opening given a width and length of the die opening. I also know the viscosity of the plastic melt. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Answer #1

The effect of the die orifice shape can be assessed by the die shape factor, defined as the ratio of the pressure required to extrude a cross-section of a given shape relative to the extrusion pressure for a circular cross-section of the same area.

kx=0.98+0.02*[(cx/cc)^2.25]

Where kx is the die shape factor in extrusion; cx is the perimeter of the extruded cross-section, and cc is the perimeter of a circle of the same area as the actual extruded shape.

Generally, The value of (cx/cc) varies from 1 to 6.

I'm working with doubly linked lists in c++, I have written my classes and constructors. I need help with a randomizing method, any guidance or sample code would be appreciated, I'm pretty lost. For the method: void DLL::Random(); I want to basically shuffle/randomize my list. My list is a list of strings (names) if that's important to know. I'm mainly struggling with how to use pointers to prev and next to apply to each node and then move them throughout...

Let’s now complete the “open box” question mentioned in the previous question. Suppose we have 1200in2 of material that we will use to create a box that has a rectangular base (the base may or may not be a square), but no top. What dimensions maximize the volume? (a) Draw a sketch of the box in this question. Appropriately label the relevant information in your sketch. (b) Based on your sketch above, what equation is being maximized? (c) Based on...

If I need to find q, when q=m x s x delta t, of the addition of 4.012 g of solid NH4Cl to 100 mL of H2O, would my mass be just the 4.012 since NH4 and Cl dissociate? Or would it be 104.012 since I would have to include the mass of the water? Could you also include the equations for the answer to help me understand how you got the answer? Thank you!

I believe that nurses and other workers in the medical field need to look professional and keep up their appearance. Your hair color should be kept to mostly natural colors but having a little personality show in your appearance is also important. I think the new policy should have been a little more relaxed and understanding to a persons appearance. My first impression if i saw a nurse with their thong sticking out, a lip ring, and a visible Molly...

How do you find the magnetic force acting on a 3m-long current-carrying section of wire of a given length if it sits in an external magnetic field (current = .01 Amps, magnetic field = .00002 teslas)? In what orientation(s) does it have to be placed to feel this force? The moving charges on the wire also produce a magnetic field of their own, how do I calculate this magnetic field at a distance of 1 meter from the wire? (if...
