The expected flow direction during die filling is shown by arrows. Chen [7] proposed that the heat transfer from the alloy to the die is higher in the relatively direct impingement zone (e.g. regions B and C in Fig. 7 ) than in the indirect impingement zone (e.g. region A in Fig. 7 ) due to the closer contact between the alloy and the die wall …

Engine oil flow dynamics is a critical aspect of engine performance, longevity, and efficiency. It refers to the movement and behavior of engine oil within an engine''s lubrication system, including the flow rate, pressure, and volume of oil, as well as the distribution and circulation of oil to various engine components.
In other words, additives (DRAs) or flow improvers can be considered as an alternative way to reduce power losses in pumps, which occur during the transfer of crude oil via a pipeline system. This might be accomplished by incorporating one or more flow improvers into the crude oil flow in the pipeline, which would save energy and …

Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. The mold cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mold during the process. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals ...
It should be stressed that the electric field aligns with the radial direction of the coaxial cylinder, i.e., the r-direction, but the oil sample moves circumferentially, i.e., in the θ-direction. Therefore, the direction of the electric field is …
