Question: ( 1 0 pts ) An extruder has a length to diameter ratio of 2 6 . The flight angle, A , on the screw

(10 pts) An extruder has a length to diameter ratio of 26. The flight angle, A, on the screw is 15 degrees while the pitch of the screw is 4.2 in , and the channel depth, dc, is 0.15 in . The barrel heats the polypropylene melt to 500F, which provides a melt viscosity of 0.0025 lb sin2. In operation the screw rotates at 50revmin and a volume flow rate of 3.5in3sec at the end of the barrel is generated. What is the head pressure generated by the die end?
