Abstract

This dissertation presents the study of flow pattern in Autoclave using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by FLUENT software. This is to analyze the flow inside autoclave during initialization operation. This report gives reader some information about composite, its manufacturing system and operation involving autoclave. Computational fluid dynamics has emerged as an important design and analysis tool where in this dissertation it’s is used to find the best placement of mould on several condition. The air flow circulations will be the main topic of this dissertation for uniform cure mould surface outcome. In term of flow visualization,Computational fluid dynamics software are able to produce graphically solution and the behaviour of low such as turbulent and vortex. This dissertation included data from previous researchers and simulation outcome as comparison. In final part, the result and analysis is produced under several conditions, where the result shown the best placement of mould in autoclave is in the back area of autoclave because of uniformity of air velocity in the area. The recommendation of future study is available on final part of dissertation.
