induction heating is widely used in metal industry for melting or heating thin slabs in a continuous casting plant. the wide application is based on good efficiency, high production rate and non-polluting conditions. for designing a parallel resonant induction heating system, calculating the capacitance for the resonant circuit is important, because its value affects resonance frequency, output...

the oil content of the wax produced in a dewaxing process is the key economic parameter thatshould be reduced as much as possible. some factors such as the type of solvents, cooling rate,temperature, and solvent to oil ratio influence the dewaxing process. due to the fact that crude oildiffers from place to place and since the operational conditions for wax extraction vary for differenttypes of...

cauliflower-like nanostructure of cadmium oxide was synthesized by utilizing mechanochemical reaction followed calcination procedure for the first time. the design of experiment (doe) by taguchi method was used to study influence of the chosen factors and to consider optimum conditions of the experiments. the temperature of calcining, the duration of milling, the duration of calcining and react...

friction-stir welding process is a novel method of solid state welding, which produces heat due to friction between the pin, the shoulder and the workpiece. this heat causes a paste area. shoulder pressure and pin spin cause edges integration and lead to welding. in this study, firstly, the feasibility of welding of steel sheet (en10130) with a thickness of 1.5mm has been tested by 58 experimen...

this study concerns the scope to improve water flooding in heterogeneous reservoirs. we used an existing, in-house developed, optimization program consisting of a reservoir simulator in combination with an adjoint-based optimal control algorithm. in particular we aimed to examine the scope for optimization in a two-dimensional horizontal reservoir containing a single high permeable streak, as a...
