Abstract
Abstract A method of modeling the two phase flow and fusion process for a blend of low viscosity and high viscosity polymers in a modular intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder is presented. The delayed melting/fusing process in a large viscosity ratio system is simulated mathematically. Calculations were made for specific modular screw configurations. The screw configurations included both screw elements and kneading disk blocks. The temperature rise in a suspension of low viscosity melted and unmelted solid pellets was calculated along the screw axis. The suspension-blend transition temperature to a blend system was then determined. Furthermore, we tested the usefulness of this model by comparing the simulation with experimental results.
