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.

Transcribed Image Text: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 d̟ sinp cosp
The back pressure flow is given by the equation:
Pn D dễ sin²o
