transfer table is an essential stage between roughing and finishing rolling stands in a hot-strip rolling mill. high temperature and long time that strip is exposed to air at this stage cause a considerable heat loss that accounts for uneven temperature distribution, non-uniform surfaces, reduced product quality and increased production costs. using thermal shields on the transfer table is cons...

Please cite this article in press as: M. Sankar et a Mass Transfer (2012), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016 Double-diffusive convection in a vertical annulus filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium is numerically investigated with the aim to understand the effects of a discrete source of heat and solute on the fluid flow and heat and mass transfer rates. The porous annulus is subject to heat and m...

The heat transfer problem of a moving heat source along the surface of a half space was studied analytically and numerically. For the 2D problem, the heat source was a strip moving source and for the 3D problem, the heat source was a square moving source. Analytical solutions are available only for adiabatic conditions as given by Carslaw and Jaeger [H.S. Carslaw, J.C. Jaeger, Conduction of Hea...

One of the interesting state-of-the-art approaches to welding is the process of friction stir welding (FSW). In comparison with the fusion processes, FSW is an advantageous method as it is suitable for the non-fusion weldable alloys and polymeric materials joining. Regarding the materials pure solid state joining, it also provides joints with less distortion and enhanced mechanical properties. ...

Abstract: Microwave processing is one of the novel methods for combustion synthesis of intermetallic compounds andcomposites. This method brings about a lot of opportunities for processing of uniquely characterized materials. In thisstudy, the combustion synthesis of TiAl/Al2O3 composite via microwave heating has been investigated by thedevelopment of a heat transfer model including a microwave...

A generalized thermo-elastic diffusion problem in a functionally graded isotropic, unbounded, rotating elastic medium due to a periodically varying heat source in the context of fractional order theory is considered in our present work. The governing equations of the theory for a functionally graded material with GNIII model are established. Analytical solution of the problem is derived in Lapl...
