Industrial scale polymer forming operations are usually based on the combination of various types of individual processes. Therefore in the computer-aided design of these operations a section-by-section approach can be adopted, in which each section of a larger process is modelled separately. An important requirement in this approach is the imposition of realistic boundary conditions at the limits of the sub-sections of a complicated process. The division of a complex operation into simpler sections should therefore be based on a systematic procedure that can provide the necessary boundary conditions at the limits of its sub-processes. A rational method for the identification of the subprocesses of common types of polymer forming operations is described by Tadmor and Gogos (1979).

There have been several attempts at models incorporating breakup and coalescence. Two concepts underlie many of these models binary breakup and a flow subdivision into weak and strong flows. These ideas were first used by Manas-Zloczower, Nir, and Tadmor (1982,1984) in modeling the dispersion of carbon black in an elastomer in a Banbury internal mixer. A similar approach was taken by Janssen and Meijer (1995) to model blending of two polymers in an extruder. In this case the extruder was divided into two types of zones, strong and weak. The strong zones correspond to regions... 

Illustration Kinetics of dispersion the two-zone model. The models for agglomerate rupture when integrated with a flow model are useful for the modeling of dispersion in practical mixers, as was discussed for the case of drop dispersion. Manas-Zloczower, Nir, and Tadmor (1982), in an early study, presented a model for the dispersion of carbon black in rubber in a Banbury mixer (Fig. 34). The model is based on several simplifying assumptions Fragmentation is assumed to occur by rupture alone, and each rupture produces two equal-sized fragments. Rupture is assumed to occur...

The geometry of a double-flighted screw and its nomenclature are presented in Fig. 1.4 using the classical description from Tadmor and Klein [4]. The nomenclature has been maintained to provide consistency with the classical literature and to provide some generality in the development of the symbols and equations that are used in extruder analysis. 

Performing numerical simulations of the extrusion process requires that the shear viscosity be available as a function of shear rate and temperature over the operating conditions of the process. Many models have been developed, and the best model for a particular application will depend on the rheological response of the resin and the operating conditions of the process. In other words, the model must provide an acceptable viscosity for the shear rates and temperatures of the process. The simple models presented here include the power law. Cross, and Carreau models. An excellent description of a broad range of models was presented previously by Tadmor and Gogos [4]. 

Because Darnell and Mol neglected the width of the flight and allowed the dynamic coefficient of frictions to be set equal for part of the derivation, the model is rarely used. The model adaptation of Tadmor and Klein is used instead. This model will be described next. 

Tadmor and Broyer [16, 17] produced two more solids conveying models a modified version of Tadmor s earlier model [1], which assumed isothermality [16], and a second model that allowed for thermal effects [17]. Later, a model by Strand et al. [18] was developed based on the Tadmor-Klein model for starve-fed solids conveying. 

Like the original Darnell-Mol model, the Tadmor-Kleln model was developed with only very limited rate data because solids conveying measuring devices were not available at that time. Moreover, dynamic coefficient of friction data were also unavailable during their model developments. Complete plastlcatlng extrusion simulations, however, were developed with the Tadmor-Kleln model using engineering friction coefficients to estimate the characteristics in the process. 

Unlike the previous models by Darnell and Mol [14] and Tadmor and Klein [1], which are based upon the assumption of isotropic stress conditions, Campbell s model [20] considered anisotropic stress conditions, as suggested by Schneider [15], but it was assumed to be 1.0 due to the lack of published experimental data on the subject. Variations on the model set forth by Campbell and Dontula [20] include a modification to incorporate the lateral stress ratio [19, 22], and other modifications discussed by Hyun et al. [21, 23]. A modified Campbell-Dontula model with a homogeneous lateral stress is as follows ...
