This work presents four different numerical approaches to analyze heat transfer in the mold halves. The formulations, numerical methods and simulated results of each method are presented and compared to the experimental results based on a metal (aluminum) and a non-metal (reinforced epoxy) molds. Several examples are also presented to show the importance of tool heat transfer analysis in reactive processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
