Curing of composite laminates in a vessel was investigated this study. The environment inside the processing dictates efficiency and ultimately drives quality thermoset parts. Experimental measurements spatial heat transfer coefficients were conducted on industrial scale vessels, including autoclaves large ovens, which final part using experimental data as input to coupled curing model. Measure...

Experimental investigations of heat transfer coefficient of CuO/Water nanofluid are reported in this paper. The heat transfer coefficient of the CuO/water was measured with the help of double pipe heat exchanger. The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing a CuOnano particle in deionized water. CuO/water nanofluid with a nominal diameter of 27nm at different volume concentrations (0.1 &0.3 vol.%) ...

Using an inverse analysis technique, the heat transfer coefficient on the die-workpiece contact surface of a hot stamping process was evaluated as a power law function of contact pressure. This evaluation was to determine whether the heat transfer coefficient on the contact surface could be used for finite element analysis of the entire hot stamping process. By comparing results of the finite e...
