Review ProblemsThe extrusion die for a polyethylene parison used in blowmolding has a mean diameter of 18.0 mm. The size of the ringopening in the die is 2.0 mm. The mean diameter of the parison isobserved to swell to a size of 21.5 mm after exiting the dieorifice. If the diameter of the blow molded container is to be 150mm, determine (a) the corresponding wall thickness of thecontainer and (b) the wall thickness of the parison.

An extrusion operation produces continuous tubing with outside diameter = 5 cm and inside diameter = 4.25 cm. The extruder barrel has a diameter = 10 cm and length = 3 m. The screw rotates at 50 rev/min; it has a channel depth = 0.63 cm and flight angle = 16°. The head pressure has a value of 2.5 MPa and the viscosity of the polymer melt is 55 Pa-s. Under these conditions, what is the production rate in length of tube/min, assuming the extrudate is pulled at a rate that eliminates the effect of die swell (i.e., the tubing has the same OD and ID as the die profile)?
