| Abstract: |
This work aims at conducting a numerical investigation of the effect of the inter-die distance on the probability of roping during meltblowing. The results are qualitatively compared with the experimental data obtained by the present group in studies of roping in a model situation of solution blowing. The effectiveness of nonwoven products as filter membranes and others depends on the fiber size and geometrical fiber distributions in fiber mats. Jet roping in meltblowing results in a distortion of the laydown structure, which is detrimental to the product's efficiency. A quasi one-dimensional model is utilized here to predict the probability of jet–jet intersection in flight leading to roping, which was observed experimentally in the prior works of this group. The results of the present work are expected to be helpful in optimizing operating parameters to minimize roping in meltblown products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
