Modification of gating System of Ball Valve Component using Soft-cast Simulation
Abstract: There are two main important considerations in castings are quality of the casting and yielding of the casting due to which scrape of material will reduce. Production of good quality casting mainly depends upon the gating system. In casting process gating and risering system has direct effect on its quality. Generally, many industries follow the trial and error method for casting process which is not economical for foundries for long …

Structural and Thermal Analysis of Ball Control Valve: A Review
Abstract: AbstractA ball valve is a type of flow control device, which is widely used to regulate a fluid flowing through a section of pipe. Currently, analyses and optimization are of special important in the design and usage of ball valves. For the analysis, finite element method (FEM) is often used to predict the safety of valve disc, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is commonly used to study the flow characteristics …

A Review of Smart Sensor-based Approaches for LPG Gas Leak Detection and Prevention
Abstract: In recent years, home fires have claimed a growing number of lives and pieces of property. Since it is very flammable, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can burn even some distance away from the spill. Poor-quality rubber tubes or instances in which the regulator is not turned off are to blame for most fire incidents. Due to the regulator's malfunction, the hob is currently receiving gas from the regulator. Gas leaks …
