Two submerged entry nozzles (SENs) used for casting 1300 tons and 260 of Al-killed steel were dissected. Several parameters including block rate, nozzle clog angle, port width, height the clogged introduced to describe geometry clogs in SENs based on dissection; furthermore, a model was established characteristics clogging SENs. A large-eddy simulation (LES) coupled with volume fraction (VOF) m...

Wicking flow inside capillary tubes can attain considerable momentum so as to produce a liquid jet at the end of the tube. Auto-ejection refers to the formation of droplets at the tip of such a jet. Experimental observations suggest that a tapering nozzle at the end of the capillary tube is necessary for auto-ejection; it has never been reported for a straight tube. Besides, most experimental r...

Stable drop jettability is mandatory for a successful, technical scale inkjet printing, and accordingly, this aspect has attracted much attention in fundamental and applied research. Previous studies were mainly focused on Newtonian fluids or polymer solutions. Here, we have investigated the drop jetting for zinc oxide (ZnO) particulate suspensions. Generally, the inverse Ohnesorge number Z = O...

Continuous casting (CC) is one of the most important processes steel production; it features a high production rate and close to net shape. The quality improvement final CC products an goal scientific research. One defining issues this stability process. clogging submerged entry nozzles (SENs) typically results in asymmetric mold flow, uneven solidification, meniscus fluctuations, possible slag...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging technique capable of measuring optically opaque media. Its signal can be sensitized to many parameters (velocity, diffusion/mechanical dispersion, air-liquid boundaries, etc). It is most sensitive where the sample’s density is the highest, i.e., inside the spray nozzle and in the near-nozzle regions; these are also re...

Natural gas flow contains undesirable solid particles, liquid condensation, and/or oil droplets and requires reliable removing equipment to perform filtration. Recent natural gas processing applications are demanded compactness and reliability of process equipment. Since conventional means are sophisticated in design, poor in efficiency, and continue lacking robust, a supersonic nozzle has been...

Cryogen spray cooling is used to prevent epidermal thermal damage during port-wine stain laser therapy, despite the limited understanding of the fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer characteristics of cryogen sprays. In recent studies, it has been suggested that the heat flux through human skin could be increased by changing physical parameters such as nozzle-to-skin distance, nozz...

Heap spraying is a security attack that increases the exploitability of memory corruption errors in type-unsafe applications. In a heap-spraying attack, an attacker coerces an application to allocate many objects containing malicious code in the heap, increasing the success rate of an exploit that jumps to a location within the heap. Because heap layout randomization necessitates new forms of a...
