Abstract

Abstract A method of modeling chemical reactions in a modular inter-meshing co-rotating twin screw extruder is described. This is applied to simulate the anionic polymerization of caprolactam. Calculations are made for specific modular screw configurations. The screw configurations included both screw elements and kneading disc blocks. Reaction conversion and temperature rise were calculated along the screw axis. The results are compared to experiment.
