-S tk 2. Metal castings can sometimes develop a gap between the casting and mold as the molten metal hardens. The result can be a substantially altered cooling process. Set up a simple heat-transfer model that would let you look at the effect of the gap on the cooling process. Assume the casting and mold are square in shape, with an air gap of thickness das shown in the figure. The mold sits in some ambient room temperature. State clearly all assumptions and develop a corresponding model of the heat transfer problem. 9 Assuming that the casting is aluminum, the mold is diatomaceous earth and the gap is filled with air, see if you can arrive at and summarize some insight into the effect of the gap and its size on the heat transfer process.
