Abstract
Abstract The extrusion of large or heavy technical rubber profiles is usually assisted by a conveying device. Such a device can be a conveyor belt or a series of rollers, and its use is necessary mainly for being able to achieve the process. Within the context of numerical simulation of extrusion flows, a conveying device brings additional downstream constraints to the flow governing equations. In the present paper, we propose a simple engineering approach for modelling a roller conveyor used in rubber tire tread extrusion, and we apply it to the extrusion simulation of a flat tire tread profile as typically encountered in the tire manufacturing industry.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
