Experimental validation of numerical simulations of the kneading disc section in a twin screw extruder
Abstract
Abstract A comparison of the results of a 3D model for the simulation of flow in the kneading disc region of a fully intermeshing twin screw extruder has been done against particle image velocimetry (PIV) experimental data. Experimental results using a geometry with an extended first and last kneading disc to capture the simplified inlet and outlet boundary conditions, are in good qualitative agreement for low flow rates. The results showed …
