Parametric analysis and design of a screw extruder for slightly non-Newtonian (pseudoplastic) materials

Extruders have found application in the food, polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Rheological characteristics of materials are important in the specification of design parameters of screw extruders. Biopolymers, which consist of proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides, are shear-thinning (pse...
