Numerical study of Maddock mixer

A thorough numerical analysis of the Maddock mixer, an essential component of polymer extrusionoperations, is presented in this work. We study the Maddock mixer's flow properties, mixingeffectiveness, and pressure drop using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Relevantfactors like flow rate and rotor speed are carefully adjusted to see how they affect mixing efficiency.According to the results, the Maddock mixer optimizes the extrusion process overall by significantlyimproving distributive mixing while preserving tolerable pressure drops. The results offer significantperspectives for the development and enhancement of mixing apparatuses in polymer processing,with the objective of enhancing both process and product efficiency.
