Modelling of flow and heat transfer, mixing and morphology development in plasticating single screw extrusion of polymer systems

Abstract

Models for flow and heat transfer, morphology development of liquid-liquid and solids-liquid systems and mixing assessment in conventional single screw estruders are introduced. Their computer implementation and interdependence are explained. Representative predictions are discussed with the aim of illustrating the capability of these models as wells as showing the typical response of single screw extruders
