An extruder barrel has a diameter of 247 inches and a length of 42 inches. The screw rotates at 63 revolutions per minute. The screw channel depth 0.25 in, and the flight angle = 19.4 degrees. The head pressure at the die end of the barrel is 854 lbs/in2 The viscosity of the polymer molt is given as 121 x 1042 Calculate the volume flow rate in insec of the plastic through the barrel Hint: You may want to use Eq 13.13 in the textbook which is a more direct approach compared to the equation in the class notes
