Abstract
Abstract This paper describes a simulation of flow in various intermeshing rotor internal mixer designs. The rotor designs studied were obtained from the patent literature and presentations of the major intermeshing rotor machinery mixer manufactures. The results of the simulation are compared to those for rotors of commercial separated rotor mixers. We seek to compare intermeshing and separated rotor mixers by contrasting estimated rates of mixing per unit total mixing chamber volume. Intermeshing rotors are generally predicted to perform better. This indicates they will mix more material despite smaller available internal mixer volume.
