Todte CFD Consultants GmbH, Rottenburg, Germany Copyright 2011 American Foundry Society ABSTRACT In the manuacture o inorganic sand cores, it is necessary to remove any moisture remaining in the core beore it can be used. Several techniques are employed to remove the water including heating in an oven, microwave heating and orcing hot, dry air through the core. In all cases, heating o a core can be expensive so there is interest in investigating optimum arrangements or achieving the most eicient means o removing the residual water. This paper describes a computer model that allows or a realistic simulation o the core drying process. The new model considers porous sand cores o arbitrary shapes with properties such as moisture content, temperature and vapor concentration that vary throughout. A ully nonequilibrium phase-change model is used to compute the evaporation and condensation o water vapor in sand. Compressible gas dynamics describes the low o the mixture o vapor and air in and around a core. A description o the model is ollowed by a validation test using a simple core geometry. Further validation is reported based on tests with a realistic, production grade core. INTRODUCTION A new inorganic core making process has certain advantages over the traditional organic process. It is environmentally riendly and healthier or the workers on the shop loor because it uses water based binder systems and hence does away with the toxic amine based binders. Furthermore, the inorganic process oers a potential or the improvement o the casting quality due to reduced core gas production and lower tool temperatures. In this process, it is essential to remove water rom the sand in order to harden the core ater shooting the sand in the mold. This paper describes a sotware development or a realistic simulation o the core drying process. A description is given o the new model, which has been validated with data rom a simple core arrangement. Further validation is reported based on tests with realistic, production grade cores dried with hot air orced through the bulk o the core. A similar physical model, restricted numerically to onedimensional geometries, was used by Pehlke and Kubo 1 to model moisture transport in green sand molds. In our implementation the core can have an arbitrarily prescribed shape with properties such as moisture content, temperature and vapor concentration that vary throughout. Thus, the core may have dried on its surace but still be completely wet on the inside. Air and water vapor existing in or around a core constitute a two-component gas that is treated as compressible. Heat conduction is simulated in all gas and solid regions and a nonequilibrium phase-change model is used to couple the liquid and vapor states o water. Using this model it is possible to simulate transient conditions throughout a core and thereby make detailed investigations o non-uniorm initial conditions as well as a variety o drying techniques. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF THE DRYING MODEL The new model, which is described in the next section, is based on several assumptions and approximations that are summarized next. The model provides a threedimensional and time-dependent description or the compressible low o a mixture o air and water vapor through and around porous solids. Heat conduction is included in all solid and gaseous regions. The mixture o air and water vapor is treated as a twocomponent, compressible gas described by a polytropicgas equation-o-state that relates the gas pressure, density and temperature. Speciic heat and gas constant o the mixture are computed as mass averages o the two components.
2 Paper pd, Page 2 o 5 Although variable moisture content is allowed in a core, no account is taken or wicking o water in the material or or displacement by airlow. The neglect o such small displacements is not likely to be signiicant since the total mass o water in a core is only a small percentage o the core mass in any case. A urther simpliication is that the temperatures o the water and core material are always in local equilibrium. This assumption is reasonable because the water and solid material are in intimate contact and distributed on a scale that is ine compared to the thickness o a core. Gas temperature, on the other hand, is generally dierent rom the core/water temperature and that dierence is essential or modeling the drying process. GENERAL MODEL DESCRIPTION All geometric eatures are initialized in the modeling program with the core deined as a solid component o given porosity. Thermal properties are deined that include initial temperature, density, speciic heat, heatconduction coeicient, and heat-transer coeicient between core and gas. The water initially in the porous core material is deined by a set o properties that include water volume raction, heat capacity, and latent heat. Gas low is governed by the equations or its density ρ and vector velocity u, ρ V + ( ρua) = Sρ t u ua u = p D t V ρ Equation 1a Equation 1b The actors V and A are volume and area porosities or porous media. Outside porous media, these actors reduce to values o 1.0. In the density equation, the right-hand side term S ρ is the source or sink o gas mass arising rom the vaporization or condensation o water. On the right side o the velocity equation are the gradient o pressure p and a porous media low resistance D, which is given by D = F u Equation 2a d with μ 1 V Fd = ρ V V d V 4 ρ + Equation 2b d μ u 2 In this expression d is the characteristic diameter o sand grains in the core (or o the spaces between the grains) and µ is the viscosity o the gas. Equation 2 is a standard, Reynolds number dependent, porous-media low loss expression. 2 In addition, it is assumed that water in a porous material will directly contribute to a lowering o the porosity (V ) o that material by the local water volume raction. Because o this, water alters the core permeability and thereby aects the gas low rate passing though it in a time-dependent way as water either evaporates or condenses. This ormulation automatically adjusts the porosity o a core to be its dry value when all water is evaporated. Equations 1 are or a compressible gas. One reason this is important is that the gas velocity in the core must increase in the direction o gas low because o the decrease in pressure through the porous material needed to overcome the low resistance. This means that the gas density and/or temperature must decrease by expansion to give the pressure decrease. Further, signiicant variations o gas density, and thereore low velocity, are expected due to cooling o drying air as it passes through the core. Since low velocity has an important eect on drying rate, compressibility can inluence local drying conditions. Evaporation and condensation o water is modeled using a routine based on kinetic theory rate processes with a dependence on the local vapor saturation level in the air. This has the orm, S A ( p p ) c sat v ρ = α Equation 3 V 2πrv Tc In this expression α is the accommodation coeicient, A c is the surace area per unit volume inside the core, r v is the vapor gas constant and T c is the temperature o the core. In the numerator p sat is the saturation pressure o vapor corresponding to the local temperature o the core/water and p v is the local pressure o the vapor. I the saturation pressure corresponding to the core temperature is less than the actual vapor pressure then S ρ is negative and vapor will condense in the core, otherwise the water evaporates. A relation must be deined that relates pressure and temperature at saturation. The model uses a standard Clapeyron equation or this purpose, which requires the speciication o a temperature-pressure point lying on the curve (p 1,T 1 ) and the value o an exponent t exp, p sat = p 1 exp. Equation 4 texp T1 T This exponent can be estimated in terms o the ratio γ o speciic heats or vapor at constant pressure c p and constant volume c v and the heat o vaporization or water Γ as t exp = (γ-1)c v /Γ. The phase-change rate also has an
3 Paper pd, Page 3 o 5 accommodation coeicient whose value is usually close to a value on the order o Both evaporation and condensation are included in the phase-change routine, which means that water vapor moving into a cooler region o a core will condense and remain there until it is again heated to a temperature suicient or evaporation. An important component o the model is the heat transer between gas and core (i.e., core solids plus water). It is proportional to the dierence between the gas temperature, T g, and the sand temperature, T s. Gas-tosand heat transer coeicient, h gs, and surace area per unit volume in the porous material are input quantities and are used or computing heat transer and phase change rates. A typical value or the surace area per unit volume, i the particles (e.g., sand grains) are assumed to be spherical, is A c =6F s /d, where F s is the volume raction o the solid in the porous medium, i.e., the complement o the porosity and d the particle size The ull gas energy transport equation (Equation 5) also includes energy loss, or gain associated with condensation, or evaporation, energy advection and possible low work due to gas expansion into lower pressure regions. The conductive heat transport in the gas phase is small and can be neglected. In Equation 5, e g is speciic volumetric energy o the moisture/air mixture and L is the latent heat o water. eg V + (( eg + p) ua) = Sρ L hgs ( Tg Ts ) A Equation 5 c t Fig. 1. Generic core and mold used or the validation o the model at BMW. One goal o the experiments was to establish a unctional relationship between the duration o the venting with hot air and the residual moisture content in the core. For this purpose, the cores were weighed immediately ater the venting process. Subsequently the core was put in an oven in order to remove the water completely and weighed a second time. The dierence in weight is the residual moisture ater the venting. A series o simulation runs were carried out and the model parameters (accommodation coeicient, surace area o sand core, heat transer coeicient) varied in order to match the experimental data. Results o the calibrated model are shown in Fig.2. VALIDATION OF MODEL 55 FLOW-3D - Core drying model Comparison o experiment and simulation For the validation o the model at BMW two cores were analyzed, a generic core with a simpliied geometry and a core or a production casting. Figure 1 shows the generic core and its mold. In the core manuacturing process the molding sand is shot into a heated mold. The mold is heated during the complete process, i.e. shooting and drying, and it is desired to achieve a uniorm temperature distribution in the mold. As a consequence o the hot mold the core dries and hardens irst in a thin layer adjacent to the wall. Ater the shooting process the core is vented through all the top nozzles (shooting and venting nozzles) using hot pressurized air. The water in the core is vaporized by the hot air and the air-vapor mixture leaves the core through the bottom venting nozzles. Removal o the water results in the hardening o the core by a chemical reaction o the binder.. moisture content [g] experiment simulation venting time [s] Fig. 2. Experimental and numerical results or residual moisture content vs. venting time.

In areas that were still wet the sand ell out or was easily removed by scratching.

Figure 4 shows an iso-surace o the remaining residual moisture predicted by the model. The iso-surace is the complement o the hardened core volume. Its shape corresponds very well with the experimentally obtained shape o the hardened core. The geometry o the core and the nozzles was set up in a CAD system (see Fig. 6) and imported into the simulation program * in STL ormat. air air inlets sand sand inlets vents sand core Fig 6. CAD geometry o core and nozzles. Fig 4. Iso-surace o the computed residual moisture. Ater the calibration o the parameters o the numerical model using the generic core the model was applied to a real core which was close to the production start but still exhibited two minor imperections as a consequence o too much residual moisture in these areas (Fig. 5). The simulated residual moisture detected was exactly in the areas that had been shown to be critical in reality, see Fig. 7. Based on the simulation results the number and position o the venting nozzles were modiied and a second simulation was perormed. The results or this new set-up showed a complete removal o the critical areas o high residual moisture. The results o the simulation were subsequently conirmed in experiments; hence, the new cores showed no critical areas and were suitable or the serial production.

Fig. 7. Simulated residual moisture or the production core. This example shows that the new core-drying model can be eectively used or the optimization o a production core drying process. CONCLUSION A new model or numerically simulating the drying o sand cores has been developed and validated against experimental data. The model is ully three-dimensional and can accommodate any core geometry. Both Validation studies presented here are or the drying o inorganic cores conined in a core-blowing cavity in which hot air is injected through illing and venting ports. The model, however, is also suitable or other types o core drying such as by a convective, or a microwave oven. All simulations were perormed using a commercial computational luid dynamics sotware package. 3 The computing runtimes were ound to be suiciently short or a design environment where a number o core venting geometries will be evaluated beore a suitable core box design is chosen.
