A companion article (Chen and Hu, 1993a) discussed a statistical theory that for a system consisting of two closed subsystems, the residence time density (RTD) functions of the two subsystems will bestatistically independent, ifa two-dimensional perfect mixing exists at the subsystem boundary. In this case, the overall RTD function is related to that for individualsubsystems through the convolution integral. This theory has been validated experimentally using two die-screw combinations.Based on this theory, a predictive RTD model for an intermeshing counterrotating twin-screw extruder has been developed. The screw in the longitudinal direction has been treated as C-chambers in series. The overall RTD of leakage flows has been calculated from the RTDs of these individual chambers and then converted into the RTD of the extruder. The predicted RTD has been tested against experimental results with success.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
