Non-Uniform Thermal Transfer of Molten Steel and Its Effect on Inclusion Particles Removal Behavior in Continuous Casting Tundish by Zhixiao Zhang, Tianpeng Qu, Deyong Wang, Xianglong Li, Lei Fan, Xingzhi Zhou

“…While the inlet temperature is lower, the horizontal stream cannot be maintained, resulting in a decrease in the removal rate of inclusions. Increasing the casting speed will increase the velocity of the molten steel in the tundish, make it easier to shorten the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet, and reduce the removal rate of inclusions. …”

Application of a Frequency Converter in Electric Automatic Control of Central Heating by Jingwen Yin, Guifeng Zhang

“…The experimental results show that the temperature control strategy using a frequency converter automatic compensation method reduces the energy waste caused by manual regulation to a certain extent. When the speed of a water pump motor decreases to 4/5 of the original, the power consumption will decrease to about 52% of the original and save about 48% of the power; When the speed drops by 3/5, the power consumption is about 22% of the original, saving about 78% of the power. …”

Influence of Polygon Wheel on Dynamic Performance of Meter-gauge Locomotive by Jingtao HU, Jiuhe YANG, Junjun DING, Zhaoxi LI, Fu LI

“…At last, the change trend of wheel-rail vertical forces was studied under the joint action of polygon wheel and track excitation. The results showed that due to the low running speed of the meter-gauge locomotive, the polygon wheel will form low frequency vibration which will increase the vibration response of the car body; the polygon wheel will greatly increase the wheel-rail vertical forces, but it has little effect on the derailment coefficient; the wave depth limit is inversely proportional to the running speed of the locomotive and the harmonic order; the track excitation will not cover the trend caused by polygon wheel, but it will greatly increase the wheel-rail vertical forces. …”
