The problem motivating the current work is a mould filling during casting process. The aim of our analysis is to provide a simple experimental model simulating the main flow characteristics accompanying such process. Hence, the hot fluid is supplied under high pressure into an inclined box. Fluid flows inside the box between two cold isothermal walls, passing obstacles simulating internal compl...

Numerical programs usually include type-casting instructions which convert data among different types. Identifying unsafe type-casting is important for preventing undefined program behaviors which cause serious problems such as security vulnerabilities and result non-reproducibility. While many tools had been proposed for handling sequential programs, to our best knowledge, there isn’t a tool g...

Ceramo-metal dental casting alloys are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures (bridges). Ni-Cr and Co-Cr are base ceramo-metal dental casting alloys and now account for the majority of the fixed metalceramic restorations used clinically. The corrosion of these alloys result in release of elemental components with potential adverse biological reactions. It is of great importance to investiga...

This paper presents a novel method to accelerate volume ray casting as used in virtual colonoscopy. The method exploits a pre-processing visibility technique to identify the potentially visible portions of the colon. Then it applies a space leaping technique based on the projection of the visible boundary voxels of the colon onto the image plane. The method has been tested using a synthetic dat...

Abstract: During solidification and casting in metallic molds, the heat flow is controlled by the thermal resistance at the casting-mold interface. Thus heat transfer coefficient at the metal- mold interface has a predominant effect on the rate of heat transfer. In some processes such as low pressure and die-casting, the effect of pressure on molten metal will affect the rate of heat transfer a...

Many applications such as the Chrome and Firefox browsers are largely implemented in C++ for its performance and modularity. Type casting, which converts one type of an object to another, plays an essential role in enabling polymorphism in C++ because it allows a program to utilize certain general or specific implementations in the class hierarchies. However, if not correctly used, it may retur...

These parameters are simulations on a computer and dry runs on adie-casting machine These iterative activities increase the manufacturing lead time and makes A system which could reduce the iterations and make the presentsa computer-aided system for runner and gating system gener...

Although the Steel Mill Slab problem (prob 38 of CSPLib) has already been studied by the CP community, this approach is unfortunately not used anymore by steel producers since last century. Continuous casting is preferred instead, allowing higher throughput and better steel quality. This paper presents a CP model related to scheduling of operations for steel making with continuous casting. Acti...
