Notes:
A simplified technique for prediction of pressure distribution, velocity profiles, torque, and power requirements for the calendering of power-law fluids is presented. The technique assumes isothermal conditions, is based on the lubrication approximation and Gaskell's analysis, and uses melt flow index as the only temperature-dependent resin parameter for the prediction. The predictions are found to compare favorably with those made by Vlachopoulos and Hrymak for rigid PVC.
