Numerous analyses have modeled the flow of polymer melts in the melt-conveying zones of
single-screw extruders. While initial studies mainly provided exact analytical results for …

In many extrusion processes, the metering section is the rate-controlling part of the screw. In
this functional zone, the polymer melt is pressurized and readied to be pumped through the …

Modeling the flow of non-Newtonian melts in single-screw extruders generally requires
numerical methods. In this study, we analyze viscous dissipation for fully developed flow of …

Generally, numerical methods are required to model the non-Newtonian flow of polymer
melts in single-screw extruders. Existing approximation equations for modeling the …

Many theoretical analyses of extrusion ignore the effect of the flight clearance when
predicting the pumping capability of a screw. This might be reasonable for conventional …

Due to progress in the development of screw designs over recent decades, numerous high-
performance screws have become commercially available in single-screw extrusion. While …

Wave-dispersion screws have been used industrially in many types of extrusion processes,
injection molding, and blow molding. These high-performance screws are constructed by …
