Critical Solid Fraction Point Analysis: Case Study on Cement Mill Machine Diaphragm

During the solidification process, metal liquids turn into solid geometry units including the riser and gating system. The disruption in the liquid flow often causes shrinkage in the object. Critical Solid Fraction Point is a critical point where the continuous liquid supply turned solid and unable to pour to some sections. Simulation software can predict the critical solid fraction time of an object and the liquid supply behavior. The simulation helps the designer in the casting design. The application of low steel alloys in the cement industry, e.g., the Diaphragm, needs development to minimize the shrinkage. This research aimed to analyze the critical solid fraction point in the diaphragm steel casting products. The primary objective of this research was to predict the critical solid fraction point during solidification, started from the longest time in the riser/feeder using SOLIDCast 8.1.1 casting software and provided improvement recommendation to minimize the shrinkage

Optimum Conditions for EOR Using Nanofluids Subjected to EM Waves

Today‟s major challenge for oil industry is to improve the oil recovery from the reservoir. Various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods have been applied in the field and the steam injection is one of the most favourable methods. The deep reservoir will result in failure of this method due to excessive heat dissipation. In this situation, generating and injecting steam may be uneconomical due to the tremendous reduction of the recovery. Some methods using nanotechnology have been introduced and elaborated. However, we propose the electromagnetic (EM) method as an alternative due to its long range transmission of the transverse waves. These EM waves, coupled with some nanoparticles (NP), can modify the surface energy. We propose an optimum conditions based on some parameters namely, frequency, flux density, space charge density and skin depth, employing Maxwell and Helmholtz equations which interact with some magnetic and dielectric nanoparticles. A newly-designed EM antenna with a very high flux density is the model for this specific purpose. The electrical energy from the antenna transfers the waves to the dielectric and resistive nanoparticles, which is then transferred to the fluid with high capillary force. This results in lower surface tension which reduces the oil viscosity. In order to investigate the transport phenomena of the nanoparticles in porous medium, we applied Darcy‟s law. Our preliminary study for scale model simulations showed that at a frequency of 0.125Hz, the electric field of the curve antenna with magnetic feeders was 4280% higher compared to the one without magnetic feeders,At a frequency of 0.125Hz, the magnetic field of the curve antenna with magnetic feeders was 3677% higher in comparison with the one without magnetic feeders. With the increasing frequency from 0.125Hz to 9Hz, the electric field and magnetic field of the antenna with feeders decreased by 99%. The permeability and porosity of glass beads packed column was 30.58mD and 25.87% respectively. It was observed that the cumulative recovery of oil reached 21.11% by using ZnO nanofluid with electromagnetic waves, 17.23% by using ZnO nanofluid without electromagnetic waves, 32.59% by using iron oxide nanofluid with electromagnetic waves, and 29.68% by using iron oxide nanofluid without electromagnetic waves. In summary, the use of ZnO and iron oxide nanoparticles as nanofluids with electromagnetic waves is considered the most effective to use in enhanced oil recovery

Utilization Of Carbon Nanotubes In Electromagnetic Wave Detectors

Direct detection of hydrocarbon by an active source using electromagnetic (EM) energy termed seabed logging (SBL) has shown very promising results. However, currently available electromagnetic wave technology has a number of challenges include sensitivity and frequency matching. This paper presents development of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electromagnetic wave detector due to outstanding properties of carbon nanotubes. They are currently one of the desired materials for advanced technologies. Two types of detectors were developed in this work, carbon nanotube-based (D1) and without nanotube-based (D2) detectors. Various configuration and arrangement for each type of detector were investigated to determine the one with the highest detection measurement and stability of frequency stability of detection system. It was found that 20 turn-coils coil placed at its centre gives the maximum detection of induction voltage, 39.61 mV. However, the 20 turn- coils with CNTs which gives 36.50 mV is the preferred EM detectors due to the stability in frequency of the detection system

Effect of Heating Temperature, Holding Time and Stabilization Temperature on the Al-Foam Properties

The interest in metallic foam is increasing since their cellular structures have a unique combination of properties such as high stiffness, low density, lightweight, high specific strength, and thermal insulation. Commonly, the performance of metallic foam can be improved by the heat treatment process. However, the previous heat treatment methods still present the brittle crack path and the research on heat treatments of the metal foam properties is very limited. In this study, individual parameters in stress relieving treatment that contribute to Al-Foam properties were investigated. The stress-relieving process of the samples was performed using a vacuum furnace. The composition of aluminium foam was determined by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). The hardness test was conducted using a microhardness tester. Quasi-static compression test was conducted by a universal testing machine. From the SEM-EDX elemental images, it can be observed that traces of Ca, Fe, Ti, and Si have a homogeneous distribution in the Al-matrix. In the result obtained, the mechanical properties of aluminium alloy foam decrease when the heating temperature is enhanced. The mechanical properties of closed-cell aluminium alloy increase with the reduction of the holding temperature. This was due to the recovery and recrystallization process which depended on time and temperature during the heat treatment process. The mechanical properties of aluminium foam were raised after increasing the stabilization temperature. This finding was due to the vibrational atomic motion in the recovery process

The Effect of Rotational Speed, Friction Duration, and Pressure on Tensile Strength of AISI 6061 Welding Joints

Electric arc welding with covered electrodes is ideally suited for flat plates. If this technique is employed for welding rigid bodies, the results would be of poor quality. One viable solution to weld rigid bodies is through friction welding. The study aimed to investigate the tensile strength of specimens subjected to friction welding with variations in rotational speed, friction time, and pressure and to examine the microstructure of friction welding joints. This research used the one-shot case study design and involved descriptive analysis. The descriptive analysis described the results of tensile testing and microstructure of welding joints. Results showed that the specimen subjected to a 2850 rpm rotational speed, 60-second friction duration, and 8 MPa pressure had the highest tensile strength of 15.19 Kgf, whereas that rotated at 2850 rpm under 8 MPa pressure for 80 seconds had the lowest tensile strength, i.e. 12.25 Kgf. The photomicrographs showed that the friction welding joints underwent no phase change, but the refinement of Mg2Si particles occurred in the Zpd and Zpl zones. Also, the Zud zone consisted of the same form of Mg2Si particles as the untreated specimen
