Step 2: Heating of Plastic During the Operating Cycle

Examples of Applications

From Equation 1, (Page16).Q Continued
(0.4 Btu/lb
F)
(280F)3.412 Btu/Wh= 4.1 Whwhere:w= weight of plastic charge = 2 oz. = 0.125 lb C
B =(0.125 lbs)
p = specific heat of plastic = 0.4 Btu/lb
F ∆ T= temperature rise = 280 F
Reference Data Step 3: Heat Required to Melt or Vaporize Materials During Initial Heating Not required since plastic is not present during initial heat-up.Q
C = 0 Step 4: Heat Required to Melt or Vaporize Materials During the Operating Cycle Not required since the plastic does not change phase during the moldingoperation.Q
D = 0 Step 5: Determine Thermal System Heat Losses Energy is required to replace heat lost to conduction, convection and radiation: a. Conduction losses through the insulated surfaces From Equation 3A, (Page17).Q
