Question: A nylon solid rod of diameter 5 . 0 mm is manufactured using a single screw extruder. Calculate the production rate ( m m i

A nylon solid rod of diameter 5.0 mm is manufactured using a single screw extruder. Calculate the production rate (mmin) if the operating extruder has a 7.50 cm diameter screw with a 2.25 m length, 17.7 flight angle, and a metering channel depth of 3.50 mm . The screw is rotating at 45 rpm . The die land-length and diameter are 30.0 mm and 5.0 mm , respectively. The polymer viscosity at the operating conditions is 185Nsm2, the melt density is 0.820gcm3, and the solid density is 1.12gcm3.(Hint: ignore the leak flow and the die swell)
