Synopsis
Concentrating on extrusion machinery, process analysis, and practical applications, this book shows how extrusion theory can be applied to concrete problems like screw design, die design, and troubleshooting. Different types of extruders, hardware, instrumentation and control, fundamental principles, polymer properties, functional process analysis, and modeling and simulation of the extrusion process are all addressed. Particular attention is given to the screw design and optimization process, with logical step-by-step analyses. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
