Molten metal solidification is a complex phenomenon. During casting process many processes occur, flow ofmolten metal, heat transfer casting part to mould cavity then mould cavity to atmosphere. Heat transfer between thecasting part, mould cavity and atmosphere plays vital role in the quality of final casting part. Thermophysical propertiesof the molten metal and mould cavity affect the casting part quality, in the present study molten metal (Aluminium)thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity, enthalpy) has been considered to be temperature dependent whilemould cavity material properties are constant.In the present study two-dimensional numerical simulation will be carriedout utilizing ANSYS software of Aluminium casting in green sand mould.Convective boundary conditions have beenconsidered at the mould cavity walls which represent the actual physical scenario of the casting process.
