Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 51SDP
Die swell in extrusion is radially uniform for circular cross-sections, but is not uniform for other cross-sections. Recognizing this fact, make a qualitative sketch of a die profile that will produce (a) square, (b) triangular, (c) elliptical, and (d) gear-shaped cross-sections of extruded polymer.
