Study of Dynamic Flow and Mixing Performances of Tri-Screw Extruders with Finite Element Method

There is a special circumfluence in the center region of cross-section for a tri-screw extruder. To study the effect of the dynamic center region on the flow and mixing mechanism of the tri-screw extruder, 2D finite element modeling was used to reduce the axial effects. Based on the particle trackin...
