This article introduces the paper “Design and Manufacturing of High Performance, Reduced Charge Heat Exchangers”. 1. Overview: 2. Background: Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems consume a significant portion of residential and commercial building energy. Reducing refrigerant charge to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is a crucial objective. Traditional heat exchangers (HXs) using round tubes
This article introduces the paper “Thermo-economic optimization for the advanced material selection of fins and heat sinks”. 1. Overview: 2. Research Background: Fins and heat sinks are widely used thermal elements crucial for efficient heat removal. Efficient heat removal necessitates a low cost, and factors such as fin profile, material properties, surface properties, raw material
Xiaorou Ning, Keke Zuo, Yang Li, Wanting Guo, Xiao Peng, Jianguo Su, Lai Song, Weihua Liu, Tongyu Liu & Yuyan Ren Abstract In the process of pouring salt cores, it is crucial to select the appropriate mold temperature, which is essential for the shaping and strength of the salt cores. Additionally, salt cores need to undergo water-soluble cleaning after casting, which has certain requirements for

Two topics are analyzed and discussed. First, numerical simulations for variety of molding conditions, including effects of
Abstract In the automobile industry, aluminum casting is a commonly utilized production process for structural components. However, flaws in aluminum castings can lead to fatigue failures. This research study provides a thorough analysis of the design, development, construction, and testing of a swing arm made of aluminum die-cast (HPDC). The investigation primarily focuses on analyzing

Abstract A numerical investigation was carried out with the help of computer based casting simulation software to eliminate defects such as shrinkage due to solidification, cracks, imperfect
Computer simulation techniques for die casting processes Die casting is the go-to manufacturing technology for mass-produced, lightweight components made from metal, predominantly Aluminum and Magnesium alloys. Most of the high pressure die casted parts are manufactured for the automotive industry but consumer electronics are also making use of this technology. High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC)
This article is from FSI (flow3d.com), a developer of numerical analysis software FLOW-3D. P-Q2 analysis is a standard procedure used to optimally match the target gate velocity to the capabilities of the HPDC (High Performance Die Casting) machine’s plunger hydraulic system. Desired fill time and an optimum gate design can be attained by performing P-Q2 analysis, which
