Flow dynamics and structure of solid pellets along the channel of a single screw extruder

Plasticating single screw extrusion involves the progressive compaction and heating of loose solid pellets that eventually melt, form a relatively homogenous stream and are subsequently pumped through a shaping tool. Traditional analyses of the solids conveying stage assume the sliding of an elastic...
