Differential heating as a strategy for controlling the flow distribution in profile extrusion dies

This work presents a simple procedure for balancing the flow in extrusion dies. The method consists in using different temperatures on the different sides of the extrusion die surface, in this way altering the local viscosity of the polymer melt, and thus the melt flow distribution. The design metho...
