Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 47QLP
In injection-molding operations (Section 19.3), it is common practice to remove the part from its runner, to place the runner into a shredder, and to recycle the resultant pellets. List the concerns you would have in using such recycled pellets as opposed to so-called virgin pellets.

Review Problems
The extrusion die for a polyethylene parison used in blow
molding has a mean diameter of 18.0 mm. The size of the ring
opening in the die is 2.0 mm. The mean diameter of the parison is
observed to swell to a size of 21.5 mm after exiting the die
orifice. If the diameter of the blow molded container is to be 150
mm, determine (a) the corresponding wall thickness of the
container and (b) the wall thickness of the parison.
