Implementation of Conservation principles for Runner conduit in Plastic Injection Mould Design

Abstract
Conservation principles are used to represent all physical transformations occurring in the universe, accordingly are also adopted to design runner conduit for thermoplastic melt injection. Conservation principles for thermoplastic melt injection through runner conduit are implemented by considering cylindrical co-ordinates system relevant to its geometrical configuration for deriving governing equations. While the continuity equation ensures volumetric conservation of thermoplastic melt, the momentum equation represents equilibrium of forces on thermoplastic melt injection through runner conduit. During an injection moulding cycle heat and work done energy transformations are balanced by implementing first and second law of thermodynamics. Thermoplastic melt state change through the runner conduit for a particular cycle is appreciated by heat conduction equation. Traditionally inertia and entropy contribution is neglected to skip rigorousness, nevertheless they continue to prevail. Especially in very frequently used non-circular runner cross section conduits, their influence is highly significant. Hence the current endeavour attempts to computationally model, continuousness, equilibrium, energy balance and phase transformative runner design criteria by implementing conservation principles.

Introduction
Designing moulds necessitate fundamental insight into physical injection moulding behaviour of chosen melt relative to desired component characteristics as well as complementary classical principles of mechanics. Off mould design runner system is the focussed subject of investigation. Runner conduit is one
of the integral and influential elements of injection mould design to process plastic parts [1]. Specific spatial region defining runner conduit is considered in isolation from everything else as a well-defined control surface or system boundary [2]. Non-newtonian thermoplastic melt is then injected through runner system conduit to contrive component impression space. Since runner conduit involves continuous melt injection through its inlet and exit boundary surfaces, it will be an open system often referred here afterwards as control volume [3]. Here the runner conduit is considered as a Euclidian flow field and thus thermoplastic melt properties are defined as spatiotemporal functions [4]. Hence here we consider an elemental volume of thermoplastic melt inside runner conduit and conservation laws are implemented by differential approach [5].
The condition of thermoplastic melt at any instant of time is typically referred as its state and expressed as a function of melt characteristics [6], which are basically a non-newtonian. Though it experiences the runner conduit for fraction of cycle, it directly influences the ideal feed system design. Consequent to injection action, exclusive melt state metrics and their extents are used to design effective runner parameters by implementing mass, momentum and energy principles [7]. Thus its control volume formulation is critically important to represent overall balance [8].
The mass conservation principle implements continuity of thermoplastic melt injection rate. The momentum conservation principle appreciates forces acting on thermoplastic melt over the entire runner conduit [9]. Similarly energy conservation principle apprehends energy change of thermoplastic melt throughout the process. Here two simultaneous modes of energy transformations are recognised, injection work and solidification heat transfer. The primary objective of mould designer is to realize maximum injection power (rate of injection work transfer) from runner conduit design criteria. The energy conservation principle articulates energy is conserved during a
process but doesnt hint anything about whether the

energy exchange is reversible or not. However in most circumstances, melt injection through runner conduit for a particular cycle is an irreversible process. So an additional quantity called entropy is required to balance energy transformations. To gain better understanding of realizable energy transformations the concept of entropy is implemented [10].
Hence fundamental conservation of injection mechanics from mass, momentum and energy perspective is essential to realize specific relationships among chosen thermoplastic, desired component and available machine. All these relationships along with processing objectives facilitate designing an idealistic runner system.

Conservation laws
Plastic injection phenomena through runner conduit can be explained by using conservation laws. The conservation equations fundamentally seek to tell us how three important field variables are distributed in space and time. According to conservation laws any measurable property of the system does not change as the system evolves/ undergoes a change. Thus during
any process the quantities of the system will be
figure 1, subtending an angle d at the centre. Since thereare no sources or sinks in the conduit, we can conveniently postulate that the mass of representative melt element does not change in position and time i.e.,
mass is conserved spatiotemporally. If U is melt velocity then Ur is velocity in radial direction, U is velocity in tangential direction and U in arbitrary
injection direction respectively. Here is linear
arbitrary path function in the YZ plane on machine.

Conservation of Mass
The continuity equation comes from the basic principle that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed. This principle is then applied to a small volume of thermoplastic melt under injection resulting in equation representing continuity.

Melt state change at any instant within runner conduit is always equal to influx and efflux melt state change rates across the runner conduit inlet and outlet respectively

Conservation of Momentum
We hereby develop governing equations for runner conduit design considering dynamic forces consequent to thermoplastic melt injection. According to Newtonian mechanics thermoplastic melt injection through runner conduit should obey Newtons Second Law of Motion for Conservation of Momentum. The implied momentum could be linear or angular and its
corresponding actions are force F and moment

Forces acting on thermoplastic melt
The forces acting on melt mass are body forces and surface forces. The body forces are mainly due to gravity and their contribution in momentum conservation would be very less because plastic melt within the runner conduit is a small fractio of shot volume (approximately 50 times), melt injection forces are predominantly larger (more than 100 times) than
inertial forces and melt density itself being very less.
