About the Project
PROPERTIES OF CONTINUOUS BOUNDARY LAYERS
Continuous boundary layers occur in, for example, the melt-spinning process for the production of synthetic fibres, such as PET. This involves extruding a thin hot polymer from a spinneret which is cooled either by contact with the adjacent air or by a cross air flow.
In general, bundles of large numbers of fibres are spun simultaneously. A real question of interest is the air flow in these bundles and specifically to test various bundle designs so that an optimum level of uniformity in the cooling of the fibres is obtained; lack of uniformity entails a poor final product.
Methods of analysis will involve solving the boundary layer equations of momentum and heat transfer by analytical methods and computational analysis.
Career opportunities would include research openings in the fibre industry and, in general, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
