Abstract
The present state of the theory of nonisothermal tube flow is inadequate to predict the behavior of polymer melts. In addition, relatively few experimental measurements on radial temperature profiles of polymer melts in the tube flow have been reported. For non‐Newtonian systems, the separation of viscous losses due to frictional heat generation and those due to the effect of shear rate is a formidable problem which has hampered progress. This paper will describe a method of measuring shear induced heating and present experimental data on radial temperature profiles in tube flow. A novel method of estimating the velocity profile is also described.Keywords
