“…The sensitivity of the measured temperatureỸ Y m, p to the inlet profile T 0 (z) is analyzed by considering the less favorable conditions where the variation T 0 (z) is taken equal to zero everywhere except in the interval Áz located at the centerline of the channel (z ¼ 0.016 m). The resulting sensitivity field (x, z), solution of equations (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) is calculated for each pressure drops Áp. Figures 22, 23 and 24 show respectively the computed reduced values (x, z)/max x,z |(x, z)| within the solid wall.…”

“…Subsequent investigations by Bokar and Ö zisik [14], Huang and Ö zisik [15], and Machado and Orlande [16] examined various aspects of this problem. Recently, Hsu et al [17] presented a two-dimensional inverse least square method to estimate both inlet temperature and wall heat flux of a steady laminar flow in a circular duct. Huang and Chen [18] have solved a non-stationary Navier-Stockes equation, to provide coefficients for the energy equation, but the velocity field itself does not depend on temperature.…”

In forming processes like the extrusion of polymers, the temperature profile in the polymer melt flow through the die can be quite sharp, due to high viscous dissipation and very low heat conductivity. To predict accurately the temperature rise, the inlet temperature profile has to be taken into account. This profile is generally unknown because for creeping flow the temperature field is affected far downstream from the entrance of the die. This numerical study aims to restore the temperature field within the polymer from temperature measurements taken inside the die. The polymer flow is assumed to be an incompressible steady laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid. The numerical solution of the inverse problem is computed by using a classical conjugate gradient method. The analysis is important to decide the location of the thermocouples in an experimental die. The feasibility of restoring the temperature profile is illustrated for different thermal and flow conditions.

The flow of melted polyethylene (Dowlex 2042 E ) through an extrusion die is investigated both experimentally and numerically. This article deals with the reconstruction of thermal history of the melted polymer in the channel die and the influence of the extrusion parameters on the inlet temperature profile. The inverse heat transfer problem is formulated as an optimization problem by considering both the heat transfer and Navier-Stokes equations. It is solved by using the classical conjugate gradient algorithm. Experimental results are presented and the article focuses on the importance of checking the adequacy of the modelling equations in experimental data processing in order to avoid convergence of the inverse algorithm toward solutions which have no physical significance. The effects of the pressure drop combined with the viscous dissipation effect along the channel die are then discussed.

Due to high viscous dissipation and very low heat conductivity, the temperature profile within the channel die can be quite sharp. Overheated areas can be generated and degradation of the polymer could occur. For such creeping flow the temperature field is affected far downstream from the entrance of the die, so to predict accurately and to control the temperature rise, the inlet temperature profile has to be taken into account. However, due to the history in the extruder, the material temperature at the die entrance is rarely uniform. Hence, the determination of this temperature profile is referred to as a boundary inverse heat convection-conduction problem. There are numerous works on the initial temperature profile restoration, for example, in [3] the inlet temperature profile is estimated in the laminar duct flow and subsequent investigations [4-6] examine various aspects of this problem. Recently, Hsu et al. [7] presented a two-dimensional inverse least squares method to estimate both inlet temperature and wall heat flux in a steady laminar flow in a circular duct. Huang and Chen [8] have solved a non-stationary Navier-Stokes equation, to provide coefficients for energy equation, but the velocity field does not depend on temperature.
