The effective parameters that influence in situ cast ferroTic composites were investigated. Centrifugal casting of specimens was carried out using ceramic & metallic molds. OM, SEM and XRD techniques were used to examine the existence of flows in the specimens. Results show that the control of chemical composition, processing, cooling rate and heat treatment has &#10a promising effect on the qu...

Abstract In this study, the effects of mould materials on microstructure and mechanical properties of cast A356 Al alloy were investigated. The alloy was poured into three different moulds. Then the samples were homogenised and applied T6 heat treatment. The optical, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) studies were made. Secondary dendrite arm spacing (SD...

An experimental study of hydrodynamics of film cooling is performed by using a single longitudinal slot on a cylindrical model simulated to the leading edge of the gas turbine blade. The model is set up into the test section of an open-circuit induced flow wind tunnel which provides the main flow. The injected air, as a secondary film flow, produced from a high pressure compressor is considered...

The combined influence of both melt filtration and cooling rate on the microstructure features and mechanical properties of A356 cast alloy was studied. A step casting model with five different thicknesses was used to obtain different cooling rates. The effect of melt filtration was studied by using of 10 and 20 ppi ceramic foam filters in the runner. Results showed that secondary dendrite arm ...

The temperature of an electronics device rises fairly linearly with increasing device heat flux. This relationship is especially problematic for defense electronics, where heat dissipation is projected to exceed 1000W/cm in the near future. This paper study explored the benefit of cooling the electronics device using indirect refrigeration cooling system .In this system the heat sink in a prima...

Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of secondary brain injury has informed the optimum depth and duration of cooling and led to increased clinical interest in the therapeutic moderate hypothermia for severe traumatic brain injury over the past two decades. Although several large multi-center clinical trials have not found a treatment effect, multiple single-center trials have, an...

Despite considerable research, the mechanisms responsible for the vasospasm associated with Raynaud's syndrome are not well understood and there is no reliable diagnostic test. In the present studies, measurements of systolic pressure in locally cooled fingers were used to address these issues. We found that local cooling produced a marked decrease or loss of the apparent finger systolic pressu...

In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...
