This paper deals with secondary cooling in a continuous caster. In particular, it inhomogeneity caused by spray arrangement and segmented rolls used for leading the strand. The section is placed under mold. Segmented are supported bearings several places across Sprayed water can flow gaps between where bearing pocket located. main question that was experimentally studied how this geometry influ...

A 76-year-old male died of lung cancer. At first, he was diagnosed as a silicosis, because he had worked for 30 years as a caster in shipyard and large opacities detected by chest x-ray and CT scanning. After the operation of lung cancer, numerous asbestos bodies were observed in the operated lung tissues. The detailed occupational inquiry revealed his asbestos use as a caster in shipyard. Earl...

We examine the usefulness of various imaging techniques, including optical ow, for measuring plant growth for corn seedlings and Caster Oil Bean leaves. A near-infrared camera, which allows one to measure optical ow in the light and in the dark, is used. For corn seedlings we have already used optical ow to obtain 3D image velocity as a measure of growth performance. We propose two new growth m...

Abstract In steel continuous casting (CC), the choice of appropriate speed at which slab is cast can be influenced by many different factors and phenomena. While thickness seems to have biggest impact, other features like width been consistently overlooked. fact, practically limits via mass flow constraint governs input output balance tundish. Here, we present a case study that aims analyzing p...

Process optimization determines process parameters that maximize or minimize (optimize) so aspect of a process (the obieciive function), while ensuring that the process operates wr established limits. In this work a mathematical model that simulates heat flow and solidification continuously cast steel strand is coupled with mathematical optimization techniques to predict opt process parameters ...
