abstracthydroforming process is a deep stretching process only with the difference that a fluid is used instead of the mandrel. this paper investigates the hydroforming process of non-cylindrical and non-spherical geometries using finite element analysis software to calculate the influences of effective process parameters such as the coefficient of friction between the surfaces and the pressure...

The paper deals with a stagnation-point boundary layer flow towards a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid where the flow and the sheet are not aligned. We used the Buongiorno model that is based on the Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis to describe the nanofluid in this problem. The main purpose of the present paper is to examine whether the non-alignment function has the eff...

The study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting visco-elastic second grade fluid in a porous medium past a stretching sheet is conducting with power law surface temperature or power law surface heat flux. The flow in boundary layer is considered to be generated solely by the linear stretching of the boundary sheet adjacent to porous medium in a magnetic field wi...

The heat tranfer and flow of a non-Newtonian fluid past a stretching sheet is analyzed in this paper. Results in a non-dimensional form are presented here for the velocity and temperature profiles assuming different kind of boundary conditions.

This paper considers the flow and heat transfer in a non-Newtonian power-law liquid film over a horizontal unsteady stretching sheet. The fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to vary with temperature, whereas the Prandtl number is assumed to be constant. The transformed time dependent conservation laws are solved numerically. The velocity, temperature and thickness of the film, ...

The steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid past a nonlinearly permeable stretching/shrinking sheet is numerically studied. The governing partial differential equations are reduced into a system of ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using a shooting method. The local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood numbe...

In this paper, Computer Aided Designing (CAD) in conjunction with Rapid Tooling is applied to design and produce forming tools (punch and die) for stretch-formed jewelry (generated on thin sheet metal on top of which jewelry patterns are raised with forming tools by stretching the sheet metal beyond its elastic limit. The work presents a parametric voxel based CAD paradigm for modeling of such ...
