NOZZLE DESIGN IN A FIBER SPINNING PROCESS FOR A MAXIMAL PRESSURE GRADIENT

Abstract

The thickness of a spinneret is always a geometrical constraint in nozzle design. The geometrical form of a nozzle has a significant effect on the subsequent spinning characteristics. This paper gives an optimal condition for maximal pressure gradient through the nozzle.
