Final Year Project II is an individual research project in connection with a special engineering problem and under the guidance of a faculty member. My Final Year Project II entitled “Melt Flow Analysis of Novel Polymer Plate Washer Using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)”. The objective of my project is to study the melt flow process during the fabrication of polymer plate washer via the novel technique by using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). The result of this analysis will be simulated by using FLUENT software. For this analysis project, the author wants to know if there is any possibility the polymer plate washers being produced by using other method instead of existing method. This procedure might be developed into novel commercial method to fabricate polymer plate washer which is much easier and less tedious, perhaps. This procedure is also important to be understood in terms of basic thermo mechanical processing. The molten flow of polymer plate washer during this novel technique will be analyzed. It is required that the flow behavior of the molten flow process is simulated by using any Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software or any software that suitable.
