Notes:
Based on the simplified, flat-plate, isothermal, Newtonian flow model of the screw pump, an expression for pressure as a function of time at a fixed point on the extruder barrel has been derived. This expression predicts a periodic saw tooth pressure cycle under most flow conditions. It also establishes the flow conditions under which an inversion of the saw tooth cycle will occur. Pressure transducer data, in conjunction with extrusion rate data, can be used to calculate the average fluid viscosity in a region near the transducer.
