Abstract: In this paper, a non-isothermal study of the calendering processes is presented using Carreau–Yasuda model along with nonlinear slip condition introduced at the upper roll surface. The flow equations for the problem are developed and converted into dimensionless form with the help of dimensionless variables and then finally simplified by a well-known lubrication approximation theory. The final equations are solved numerically using "bvp4c" to find stream function and velocity profiles, while the hybrid numerical method which is the combination of shooting and finite difference methods is used to solve the energy equation. Graphs show the impact of the concerned material parameters on various quantities of interest. The pressure distribution decreases with the increasing values of the slip parameter and Weissenberg number. The mechanical variables show an increasing trend with the increasing values of the slip parameter and Weissenberg number. The temperature distribution increases with an increase in the Brinkman number, while temperature shows declining trend near the roll surface with the increasing values of the slip parameter. The force separating the two rollers, total power input into both rolls, increase with the increasing values of the Weissenberg number and slip parameters. The results show that the Newtonian model predicts higher pressure in the nip zone than the Carreau–Yasuda model. It is interesting to note that for the case of shear thinning, the Carreau–Yasuda model predicts 30% less pressure in the nip region when compared to the Newtonian model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
