Abstract
This chapter discusses an approach for process simulation in the design of melt spinning process for finding optimal design parameters concerning spinneret, quench air unit and other technical parameters for maximum throughput and quality. The property of as-spun fiber is a function of structural parameters at a given condition and orientation of the structural parameter and it is highly governed by stress level at freeze line. Thus, to define structural property and associated relationship, it requires to identify the process to control the variables (or factors) that affect the structural parameter as well as final fiber property. In addition, this chapter also provides a System-of-Systems (SOS) perspective on melt spinning process and its computer modeling along with mathematical equations for estimating spinline stress with a change in process variables. The spinline stress will be used as an input for a computer simulation to have process optimization by changing the necessary variables until it optimized.
