The literature on flow rates is reviewed to demonstrate a gap that the current study aims to fills, in the hope that it will stimulate further research in a fertile area. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die artikel adresseer die vraagstuk van vloeitempo van ¡®n ekstrusieproses. Dit handel met ¡®n voorbeeld van ¡®n plastiekherwinningsproses wat spruit uit soliede afvalverwerking. ¡®n Literatuurstudie toon hoedat die navorsing verdere areas wat braak l¨º, aanspreek in die hoop dat verdere studie gestimuleer sal word.
