## Abstract **Summary:** NonβNewtonian fluid behavior has significant influence on quantities in chemical engineering like power input, mixing time, heat transfer etc. In the laminar flow region, the concept of effective viscosity by Metzner and Otto is well established. In the transition region be
A flow analysis of non-Newtonian fluids inside co-rotating tangential twin-screw extruders is presented with the emphasis on mixing phenomena. A new simplified approach was proposed in modelling the flow, i.e. the flow in twin-screw extruders was considered as a sequence of flows in two regions: (i)
The flow properties of the employed aqueous solutions of xanthan and polyacrylamide (PAA) are shown in Fig. . Viscosity, q , and Weissenberg number Wi are plotted against the shear rate in Figs lb and la, respectively. The Weissenberg number
