Abstract:

In terms of the conservation equations of momentum and energy, the synergy effect from the velocity and temperature fields was proposed as an important influence factor on the flow and heat transfer of polymer. A novel torsion screw configuration and field synergy screw were designed, and the heat and mass transfer properties of conventional screw and field synergy screw were studied through extrusion experiments for the polypropylene/polystyrene compo?sites. The results indicated that the field synergy screws with a torsion screw configuration had a smaller average particle size, a larger particle size distribution density and a longer average residence time compared to the conventional screw. This can improve the mixing capability of the extruder. The field synergy screws had a larger convection heat transfer coefficient and a smaller radial temperature difference, which improved the heat transfer ability of the extruder.

Key words: field synergy, heat and mass transfer, torsion screw configuration, mixing capability, heat transfer capability
