ETPL 3345 - Advanced Processing

Credits: 4

Application of the laws of conservation (mass, momentum, energy) to polymer processing. Steady-state flows in simplified geometries. Explore the phenomena in the three sections of a single-screw extruder. Apply engineering and power-law formulas to describe the rheological behavior of polymers and different process conditions for extrusion, blow molding, injection molding and other processing operations. Prereq: ETPL 2220 and MATH1250 or Math ACT Sub-score of 24 $
