Model Based Control of Solidification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, model based control of solidification is studied. A one-dimensional model that describes the dynamic response of the solidification rate for a pure substance is developed. The solidification of a metal column is controlled in order to solidify at a desired rate. The manipulated variable is the power to the heater at the top of the casting. A linear PI-controller is implemented and yields acceptable performance for the simulated case.

A simple Analytical model for solidification cooling rate based on the local heat flux density
A new simple analytical model for prediction of cooling rate in the solidification process based on the local heat flux density extracted during solidification is introduced. In the modeling procedure, a solidifying control volume is considered in the mushy zone in which a heat balance equation is used to derive the present model. As the local heat flux density is a measurable parameter, the pr...
متن کاملMODELING OF RAPID SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS IN THE GAS ATOMIZATION OF MOLTEN METALS
In the present work, a model was proposed to predict the thermal history during rapid solidification (RS) of metal droplets in the gas atomization process. The classical theory of heterogeneous nucleation was based on Newtonian heat flow and enthalpy method. Solving the governing numerical equations by the finite difference method (FDM) gave up the opportunity of analyzing the temperature-time ...

A numerical model has been developed for the determination of liquid flow permeability through columnar dendrite during growth. The model is inclusive two stages, first numerical evolution of the dendrite shape during growth, and second numerical determination of the interdendritic liquid permeability. Simulation results shown which solute concentration by evolution of dendrite shape could resu...
