Abstract
The energy equation describing two-dimensional transient heat transfer in a composite medium is solved numerically in order to predict the temperature profiles inside the curing composite material as a function of time. The model includes a heat generation term due to exothermic chemical reactions, several types of boundary conditions, thermal properties dependent on both temperature and direction, and dynamic boundary movement due to compaction. This paper addresses the physical and chemical phenomena associated with composite materials processing. A literature review of the published mathematical models is presented. The proposed model is then developed, and the discretization and solution techniques are outlined.
