Rw. Lewis et Rs. Ransing, The optimal design of interfacial heat transfer coefficients via a thermalstress model, FINITE EL A, 34(2), 2000, pp. 193-209
The thermo-mechanical analysis of a solidification process has been present
ed to predict an air gap width. The air gap width value has been used to ap
proximate the interfacial heat transfer coefficients. The Lewis-Ransing cor
relation has been used to link the stress model with an optimization model
for the optimal feeding design. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r
