A mathematical model of the melting of polymeric materials in extruders

Conclusions The contemporary state of the theory of melting of polymeric materials in plasticizing extruders has been discussed.A new, more refined theory of melting in the screw channel has been presented, based on solution of the fundamental equations of motion, energy transfer, heat conductance, and state.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 3, pp. 51–53, May–June, 1984.
