| Food extrusion process involves heat and flow distribution. An accurate knowledge of flow pattern in food extruder die is essential for optimum extrusion operation. Limited works are available on simulation and modeling of heat and flow in food extruder. No reported work is available for flow modeling in twin screw food extruder die. In this study, two-dimensional flow simulation in food extruder die for intermeshing co-rotating twin-screw extruder were performed by solving Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation for non-Newtonian fluid using finite element computer package, ANSYS/FLOTRAN. The objective of the study is to determine the nature of flow, heat and pressure distribution in the die and to determine the effect of screw speed on process... |
