We numerically analyzed flow characteristics of the polymer melt in the screw equipment using a proper modeling and investigated design parameters which have influence on the mixing performance as the capability of the screw equipment. We considered the non-Newtonian and non-isothermal flow in a single rotor equipment to investigate the mixing performance with respect to screw dimensions as shape parameter of the single rotor equipment and screw speed as process parameter. We used Bird-Carreau-Yasuda model as a viscous model of the polymer melt and the particle tracking method to investigate the mixing performance in the screw equipment and considered four mixing performance indexes: residence time distribution, deformation rate, total strain and particle standard deviation as a new mixing performance index. We compared these indexes to determine design parameters and object function. On basis of the analysis results, we carried out the optimal design by using the response surface method and design of experiments. In conclusion, the differences of results between the optimal value and numerical analysis are about 5.0%.

A rotordynamic analysis was performed with a decant-type centrifuge, which is a kind of industrial centrifuge. The system is composed of screw rotor, bowl rotor, driving motors, gear box, and support rolling element bearings. These rotors have a rated speed of 4300 rpm, and were modeled utilizing a rotordynamic FE method for analysis, which was verified through 3-D FE analysis. Design goals are to achieve wide separation margins of lateral critical speeds, and favorable unbalance responses of the rotor in the operating range. Then, a complex analysis rotordynamic analysis of the system was carried out to evaluate its forward synchronous critical speeds and mode shapes, whirl natural frequencies, and unbalance responses under various balance grade. As a result of analysis, the rotordynamic analysis performed by separating a screw rotor and bowl rotor may cause an error in predicting critical speed of entire system. Therefore, the rotordynamic analysis of a coupled rotor combining a screw and bowl rotor must be performed in order to more accurately estimate dynamic characteristics of the decanter-type centrifuge as presented in this paper. Also, rolling element bearings with suitable stiffness should be selected to keep enough separation margin. In addition, in establishing balance grade of a screw and bowl rotor, ISO G2.5 balance grade is more recommended than ISO G6.3, in particular balancing correction of a screw rotor based on ISO G2.5 grade is strongly recommended.

This paper describes the development of simulation program which is able to design cutter profiles and 3-dimensional geometry for rotors in screw compressor. Based on the symmetric rotor profiles developed previously, cutters are designed and 3-dimensional geometries of rotors are generated used by simulation program. Symmetric rotors are manufactured by a universal milling machine, and surface geometries of them are measured by a 3-dimension scanner. It is shown that simulation program developed is useful to design cutter for rotor manufacturing and to generate the 3-dimensional helicoid geometry of rotor in screw compressor.

To design high-effective profile in screw rotor profile using in screw compressor, we design the symmetric type changing the number of lobes and the non-symmetric type changing the neighbourhood of the top point of lobe. Then, we calculated the performance value of profile according to the scale of these non-symmetric's wrap angle. We had the results as follows. 1. About the non-symmetric case, the larger a wrap angle is the shorter seal line is and the smaller blow hole is, thus we know what the large wrap angle profile is better than the small one. 2. We know what the non-symmetric profile is better than the symmetric profile in the result of the compare of seal line's length, blow hole's area, volume curve. 3. About the non-symmetric case, the deformation of the neighbourhood of lobe's top point of the rotor profile has a large effect upon the increase of performance because the length of seal line became short and the area of blow hole is small.

The performance of screw compressor depends on lots of design parameters of rotor profile, such as length of seal line, wrap angle, blow hole, suction and discharge port size, number of rotor lobe, etc. The optimum rotor profile makes it possible to increase the compression efficiency with low energy consumption, and to minimize the loss of power. In this research, a new rotor profile design and performance analysis are done by computer simulation. It is expected that the volumetric efficiency is improved because the internal leakage is reduced due to the minimization of blow hole and clearance, and the stiffness of rotors is increased due to the reduction of length to diameter ratio. Also, the specific power consumption will be secured for use ranging from low to high operation speed.

The specifications of compressor for this performance test are as follows. Built-in volume ratio; Vi=2.4, using refrigerant; HCFC-22, nominal motor output; 60kW(80Hp). We found the test results on water cooled chiller standard test condition that the evaporating capacity is increased 8% maximum and 5.6% under same operating condition. and COP is increased 11 % max. and 8% under same operating condition with change of the evaporating inlet/outlet condition. For the results of these test, we can estimate the optimum operating condition of water cooled type screw chiller.

Twin-screw kneader is an efficient polymer processing equipment. In this paper, the mixing performance of one novel intermeshing counter-rotating twin-screw kneader with different tip angles of the male rotor is simulated using the mesh superimposition technique (MST). Statistical analysis is carried out for the flow field using particle tracking technique, and distributive mixing performance is evaluated using the residence time distribution and segregation scale, while the dispersive mixing performance is estimated using the parameters such as shear rate, stretching rate and mixing index. The results show that the best distributive mixing performance is achieved when the tip angle is 0o, while the optimal dispersive mixing performance is obtained when the tip angle is 20o. The results in this paper provide a data basis for the selection of parameters and optimization of the performance for the screw rotors.
