Determination of convective heat transfer coefficient for automated fiber placement (AFP) for thermoplastic composites using hot gas torch

In heat transfer analysis of AFP process using a hot gas torch, the convective heat transfer which occurs between the hot gas flow generated by a torch nozzle and a composite substrate plays an important role in the heat transfer mechanism. In order to model the convective heat transfer, a local hea...
