1788 H Hassan et al Applied Thermal Engineering 4 Results and discussion A full two dimensional time dependent mold cooling analysis in injection molding is carried out for a plate mould model with T shape plastic mold and four cooling channels as indicated in Fig 1 Due to the symmetry half of the mold is modeled and ana lyzed All the cooling channels have the same size and they have diameter of 10 mm each in case of circular channels The cooling operating parameters and the material properties are listed in Ta bles 1 and 2 respectively and they are considered constant during all numerical results 5 7 Each numerical cycle consists of two stages cooling stage where the cavity is filled with hot polymer initially at polymer injected temperature the ejection stage where the cavity is filled with air initially at ambient temperature Figs 3 and 4 show the cyclic transient variations of the mould tempera ture with time for 16 s mold cooling time at locations P1 P2 P3 P4 beside the mould walls and P5 to P7 inside the mould walls respectively Fig 1 and that in case of applied the solidifica tion and without applied solidification They are simulated for the first 30 cycles in case of circular cooling channels position A5 D3 as shown in Fig 2 We find that the simulated results are in good agreement with the transient characteristic of the cyclic mold tem perature variations described in 5 It is found that there is a slightly difference in temperatures values between the two results thus due to the difference in numerical method used and the accu racy in the numerical calculations The figures show that the rela tively temperature fluctuation is largest near the cavity surface and diminishes away from the cavity surface We find that the maxi mum amplitude of temperature fluctuation during the steady cycle can reach 10 C176C without applying solidification and 15 C176C in case of applying the solidification 4 1 Effect of cooling channels form An efficient cooling system design providing uniform tempera ture distribution throughout the entire part during the cooling pro cess should ensure product quality by preventing differential shrinkage internal stresses and mould release problems It also should reduce time of cooling and accelerate the solidification pro cess of the product to augment the productivity of the molding Table 1 Cooling operating

the influence of the cooling channels form on the temperature distribution throughout the mould and solidi fication process of the product we proposed three different cross sectional forms of the cooling channels circular square rectangu lar1 with long to width ratio of 0 5 and rectangular 2 with width to long ratio of 0 25 Two cases are studied first case all the cooling channels have the same cross sectional area and the second case they have the same perimeter The comparison is carried out for the same cooling channels position A5 D3 Fig 5 shows the solidification percent calculated numerically as the summation of the solid fraction of each element multiplied by the area of that element to total area of the product for differ ent forms with different cooling time The figure indicates that the effect of cooling channels form on the cooling rate decreases with increasing the cooling time It also shows that the cooling channel form rectangle 2 has the maximum solidification percent for case 1 and in case 2 the changing of the cooling channels form has not a sensible effect on the solidification percent The same results can be obtained when we compared the solidification in the prod uct and the temperature distribution though the mould for differ ent forms with the same cross sectional area at the end of the cooling stage for cooling time 24 s for cooling cycle 25 as shown in Figs 6 and 7 respectively The results indicate that the cooling process is improved as the cooling channels tend to take the form of the product 4 2 Effect of cooling channels position To investigate the effect of the cooling channels position we di vided the proposed positions into four groups groups A and B for different positions of the bottom cooling channel with a fixed po sition of the top cooling channel and with vice versa for groups C and D for the same cooling channel form circular as illustrated in Fig 2 Fig 8 represents the effect of different cooling channel positions on the of solidification percent at the end of 25th cooling cycle for groups A and B lower cooling channel effect C and D upper cool ing channel effect with cooling time It indicates that for lower cooling channel position effect the cooling rate increases and hence the solidification percent of the polymer increases as the cooling channel approaches the polymer in the vertical direction position B has solidification percent greater than position A and with the same positions C and D The figure shows also the most efficient cooling rate is obtained as the cooling channel takes the position between 20 and 50 through the product length for Table 2 Material properties Material Density kg m 3 Specific heat J kg K Conductivity W m K Mould 7670 426 36 5 Polymer 938 1800 0 25 Air 1 17

solidification pro cess These two areas of the temperature distribution and that dif ferent cooling rate through the cooling process lead to different severe warpage and thermal residual stress in the final product which affect on the final product quality 5 Conclusion The variation of the temperature of the mould through a num ber of molding cycles is carried out The simulated results are in good agreement with the transient characteristic of the cyclic mold temperature variations described in 5 and It is found that there is a slightly difference in temperatures values between the simulated results and those described in 5 The effect of cooling channels form and the effect of its position on the temperatures distribution throughout the polymer and the solidification of 7 4 2 X 0 0 0 20

cooling rate is im proved The position of cooling channels has a great effect on the cooling process and temperature distribution through the mould and the polymer The results show that the cooling system layout which performs minimum cooling time not necessary achieves optimum temperature distribution throughout the prod uct and the system layout must be optimized to achieve the both goals
