Engineering Consultation ServicesWe have experience in computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer consultation, structural design verification, metallurgical/material specification, failure analysis, casting method design and foundry consultation. Some of our recent projects include: | |
Optimization of quench tank |
|
|
Optimization of quench tank design, specifically the nozzle assembly, in order to achieve the best possible cooling rate for rapid quenching of cast wear parts. The project was sponsored by the NFTN and the client is Active Foundry. |
 |
Pump station analysis |
|
|
Comprehensive analysis on pump station: pump characteristic curves and system design evaluation. Minor losses due to pipe system design evaluated through simulation. Client was the municipality of Orania. |
 |
Stresses on briqueting pads |
|
|
Investigate tolerances on surface finish, and the resultant stresses. Client: Enviroserv. |
 |
Molten salt electrolysis |
|
|
The purpose of this simulation was to calculate the thermophysical state of a lithium chloride electrolysis cell during typical isothermal operation. These mathematical results can then be used to better understand the operations of such a cell and optimize future design. Client: CSIR. |
 |
Casting method design |
|
|
We can help with selection of a foundry if you want to manufacture a product as a casting, and we can offer a comprehensive quality control of the subsequent process. The following video shows a filling simulation of a method design we did for Active Foundry: |
|
| With each project we can also provide a comprehensive CAD service. | |
