Literature Review on Single and Twin-Screw Extruders Design for Polymerization Using CFD Simulation by Elham Delvar, Inês Oliveira, Margarida S. C. A. Brito, Cláudia G. Silva, Arantzazu Santamaria-Echart, Maria-Filomena Barreiro, Ricardo J. Santos

“…The state-of-the-art CFD models for single and twin-screw extruders design address the impact of geometry (type of mixing elements and geometrical simplifications of CFD geometries), pressure and temperature gradients, and quantification of mixing. Despite the extensive work conducted, modeling reactive extrusion using CFD remains challenging due to the intricate interplay of mixing, heat transfer, chemical reactions, and non-Newtonian fluid behavior under high shear and temperature gradients. …”
