Abstract
A Computer program for simulation of a single screw plasticating extruder is presented. The computer program simulates the performance of different size extruders with various screw geometries for plasticating and pumping different thermoplastic resins. The simulation yields valuable information on the performance of an extruder for a variety of operating conditions. The simulation program provides a means of separating the effect of one variable at a time on the overall performance of the extruders.
