Numerical simulation of micromixing effect on the reactive flow in a co-rotating twin screw extruder

Feeding condition and rotational speed determine the local concentrations of reactants by controlling the earliness/lateness of mixing and the degree of segregation, respectively. Besides, rotational speed and flow rate also have effect on the RTD and duration of the reaction. The combination of local concentration and time accumulation restricts the reaction extents of multicomponent reactions during extrusion.
