Certain problems of heat and mass transfer in rotational molding
Abstract
The basic steps of rotational molding are described. Emphasis is on the heat- and mass-transfer processes occurring during the heating stage. The basic regularities of variation in the temperature during the cycle of rotational molding are given. Models of motion of a material in the mold in the above stage are considered. The kinetics of heating of an individual spherical particle is described.
