Leakage-Flow Models for Screw Extruders

Many theoretical analyses of extrusion ignore the effect of the flight clearance when predicting the pumping capability of a screw. This might be reasonable for conventional extruder screws with “normal” clearances but leads to errors when more advanced screw designs are considered. We present new l...
