An experimental and numerical analysis of the exit flow in a slit die for polymer melts

A slit die has been constructed to use both flow birefringence and direct pressure measurements to study the extrapolated exit pressure (Px) and the exit pressure theory used to evaluate the magnitude of the primary normal stress difference (N1) from the value of the exit pressure. Flow birefringenc...
