Editor's Notes
- #5: For those who are not familiar with the polymer extrusion process, from this picture, the polymer pellets are fed through this hopper, and then pushed by the screw from the feed zone to the die to form different shapes. The polymer is melted mainly by the shear stress from the screw and partly from the barrel heating. So in this picture, the feed rate, screw speed and barrel temperature settings can be regarded as system inputs, and the melt pressure, temperature and viscosity are system outputs. It is clear that the whole system is open loop system, in order to get proper melt properties, technicians have to speed long time to properly adjust these inputs, energy and material are then wasted during this procedure.
- #6: The energy consumption methods were developed for this single screw extruder, and some of its specifications are shown in the tables on the right hand side.
- #7: The heating and cooling power of each elements was first investigated, this is done through several trials where different configurations of heating and cooling were operated, and the power consumption was monitored by a HIOKI 3169 power meter. As you can see here, the main power was consumed at these three heating zones.
- #8: Another representation of the thermal energy consumption at different heating zone.
- #17: Customer Segments: Who are the customers? What do they think? See? Feel? Do? Value Propositions: What’s compelling about the proposition? Why do customers buy, use? Channels: How are these propositions promoted, sold and delivered? Why? Is it working? Customer Relationships: How do you interact with the customer through their ‘journey’? Revenue Streams: How does the business earn revenue from the value propositions? Key Activities: What uniquely strategic things does the business do to deliver its proposition? Key Resources: What unique strategic assets must the business have to compete? Key Partnerships: What can the company not do so it can focus on its Key Activities? Cost Structure: What are the business’ major cost drivers? How are they linked to revenue?
