Ouestion 5 A single screw extruder has the following dimensions screw length =500 mm screw diameter = 25 mm flight angle 17° 42' channel depth = 2 mm channel width = 22mm If the screw is coupled to the die which is used to produce two laces for subsequent granulation, calculate the output from extruder/die combination when the screw speed is 100 rev/mm. Each of the holes in the lace die is 1.5 mm diameter and 10 mm long and the viscosity of the melt may be taken as 400 Ns/m²
