โฆ Synopsis
A technique is developed for solving a coupled reaction and heat transfer problem in which mass diffusion is negligible. The energy equation is solved by the conventional finite-element method with temperature unknowns at the nodes, while the reaction kinetics is incorporated with reaction variables at the Gauss points in each element. As examples, cure of SMC (sheet moulding compound) in a cylinder and cure of rubber in an engine mount are analysed using a mechanistic and a phenomenological reaction model, respectively.
