Abstract
An optical on-line residence time distribution (RTD) measurement techn ique was used in a 50 mm and a 30 mm corotating twin screw extruder to investigate the influence of operating conditions (throughput, screw speed) and screw configurations on the RTD. Statistical analysis of ex perimental results was applied to show the quantitative relation betwe en operating condition and mean residence time, to analyze the effects of different screw configurations on the broadness of mixing and to c ompare their subtle difference.
