Question 3 The diameter of an extruder barrel is 65 mm and its length is 1.75 m. The screw rotates at 55 rev/min. The screw channel depth is 5.0 mm, and its flight (helix) angle is 18°. The head pressure at the die end of the barrel is 5x10° Pa. The viscosity of the polymer melt is given as 100 Pa-s. Calculate the volume flow rate of polymer in the barrel. The drag flow is given by the equation: Qa = 0.5 n² D² N dc sinp cosq The back pressure flow is given by the equation: Pn D dž sin²o Qb = 12nL The details of the extruder screw are given in figure 3.1
