This paper deals with a procedure to simulate the foaming process of polyurethane integral skin foams. The process involves heat generation by chemical reaction, heat loss through the mold, and local vaporization and condensation of the solvent. To simulate this dynamic process, a boundary mobile cell model was proposed. Each cell contains a certain mass of the solvent. The volume, temperature, and pressure of each cell call be estinlated by the quantity of heat which is generated and/or transferred in the cell, assuming that no pressure gradient exists and the total volume of each cell is constant. For a typical polyurethane system, apparent density profiles were predicted theoretically, as well as chemical conversion, temperature, and pressure profiles. Experimental results were compared with the theoretical values. Rather good agreement between them was obtained, though no adjusting parameter was introduced.
