An extruder barrel has a diameter of 83 mm and a length of 2 m. The screw rotates at 2 revolutions per second. The screw channel depth = 6 mm, and the flight angle = 19.6 degrees. The head pressure at the die end of the barrel is 6,939,430 Pa. The viscosity of the polymer melt is given as 105 Pa.s. Calculate the volume flow rate in cm3/s of the plastic through the barrel.
