Abstract
Heat transfer across the metal-mould interface has been modelled by a gener alized equation referred to as the Lewis-Ransing Correlation. It has been s hown that the spatial as well as temporal variation of the interfacial heat transfer coefficient can be optimally designed to achieve a desired solidi fication pattern The technique has been validated on two practical examples achieving a complex solidification pattern.
