Simulation of monomeric material transport in reactive extrusion revealed that two different situations can be distinguished in the partially filled zone of a twin-screw extruder. Material is transported from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the screw by drag or material remains on the bottom
Visual studies have been peflormed on the partidly filled, nonintenneshing twin-screw extruder (NITSE) to determine its distributive mixing abilities. Four parameters were studied: percent screw stagger, percent channel fill, screw speed, and fluid viscosity. It was found that screw speed and viscos
