Chapter 11. Screen Filter

[Simulation Analysis for Polymer Processing by PC (7), Japan Plastics, Vol.50, No.5, P.96 (1999)]

For the purpose of filteration and gel dispersion, screen filters are frequently used in polymer processing. Screen filters for these purposes are mostly combinations of multiple different mesh screens.

Carley et al. published calculation method [10] for this type of screen filter. This theory is for isothermal non-Newtonian fluid.

This chapter presents the theory and its calculation example.
