Numerical simulation on the flow and heat transfer of polymer powder in rotational molding
Source abstract
Abstract
A numerical study is developed to predict of flow behavior and heat transfer processes during rotational molding of polymer powder by using Discrete Element Method (DEM). The aim of this study is to model different forms, the evolution of mixing and segregation and the evolution of heat transfers in polymer powder. Influence of physical and thermal properties on the granular flow and heat transfer are investigated though the numerical example of polymer powder HDPE.
