Kc. Shin et Jl. White, Influence of viscous dissipation heating on the screw pumping characteristics of a pin barrel screw extruder, KAUT GUM KU, 53(7-8), 2000, pp. 434-437
A non-isothermal non-Newtonian mathematical model of the flow of rubber com
pounds in a pin barrel extruder is developed. Both non-Newtonian (shear thi
nning) and viscous dissipation induced non-isothermal behavior reduce the p
umping ability compared to an isothermal Newtonian fluid. Comparison to exp
erimental studies on three different rubber compounds in a laboratory pin b
arrel shows the nonisothermal non-Newtonian to be in good agreement with ex
periment.
