Abstract
The problem of heat exchange and non-isothermal crystallization of a polymer film (leaving an extruder) on the surface of chilled rolls is discussed. Factors such as enthalpy of crystallization, unsymmetric boundary conditions and dependences of thermal properties of a polymer on temperature and degree of crystallinity are taken into account.
The statement of the problem is based, first, on joint analysis of non-stationary energy balance equation and kinetics of non-isothermal crystallization and, second, on inclusion of dependences of thermal properties of a polymer on temperature and crystallinity into a mathematical model under discussion.
The influence of technological and engineering factors on the quality of film is discussed.
