Abstract

The Farrel Continuous Mixer has been an important compounding machine for a quarter century. There have, until this time, been no efforts to simulate flow in this machine. We apply a hydrodynamic lubrication theory-based analysis to this problem. We present a model of flow in a Farrel Continuous Mixer which predicts pressure and flux profiles for a fully filled machine. Calculations are reported for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian models.
