I want to simulate the curing process of epoxy resin impregnated composite manufactured by VARTM.The cure rate proposed by Kamal and Sourour needs activation energy terms to find Arrhenius rate constants.Does anyone can explain how to find?
If you can plot your rate data for different temperatures and correlate the results then an exponential term should appear in the correlation in which the exponent is E/RT and E is the activation energy derived experimentally.
