In a single-barrel extrusion system, the operator observes that the extrudate (made of polyethylene, PE) is being processed at a speed of 0.5m/s with a final diameter of 0.5cm. The screw pitch is 1cm, the barrel diameter is 1.5cm, the barrel length is 10cm, the screw channel depth is 0.3cm and the screw is rotating at 10RPM.
a. Find the head pressure on the die given that the polymer has a viscosity of 300Pa.s. Note that the swell ratio of PE is 1.2.
b. Find the length of the die opening.

Assume the billet to have a length of 0.3m and a diameter of 0.15m. This is extruded into a cylindrical product that is 0.03m in diameter and 7.5m long (a reduction ratio of 25). Neglecting the areas on the two ends, compute the ratio between the product surface area (wraparound cylinder) and the surface area of the starting billet. How would this ratio change if the product were a square with the same cross-sectional area as that of the 0.03m diameter circle?arrow_forward
