Procedure for Determining Thermophysical Parameters of Vulcanizable Mixtures as a Function of Temperature

Abstract

A procedure for calculating thermophysical parameters of vulcanizable mixtures from experimental data obtained by a laboratory unit developed by us is discussed. The procedure is based on a mathematical model in the form of a heat conduction equation that takes account of the dependence of heat capacity and heat conductivity coefficients of the medium on the temperature. The values of thermophysical parameters are determined by minimizing the functional discrepancy between measured and calculated temperatures with a ±2°C standard deviation.
