Theoretical Analysis of TCS with a Comparison to HGS in Characteristics

A theoretical analysis of TCS is provided to explain the structure evolution along the filament during processing.This analysis based on the spinning process kinematics incorporates the constitutive equation of PET polymer, a convection and radiation combining procedure in the thermal channel, and takinginto account the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics. The characteristics of the fiber so-produced are compared with those produced by HGS.
