The flask is a wood or metal frame, which contains the molding sand, providing support to the sand as the metal is poured into the mold. In flaskless molding, the same terms are used, cope for the top or upper piece and drag for the bottom or lower piece. In the simplest sand casting procedure, the drag is placed upside down on a board, around a pattern of the part to be cast. The pattern is a model of the desired casting. Talcum powder is often dusted over the pattern to aid in the removal of the pattern. Sand is sifted over the pattern until the model is covered by a few inches of sand. More sand is then dumped into the drag, and rammed with a wooden wedge, or mechanically vibrated to pack the sand down. The sand is then struck level with the top edge of the cope, using a wooden or metal screed strake . A board is then placed on top of the drag and the drag is flipped over. Then, the cope is placed on the drag, and dowels or pins are put in the sand to make holes for the Sprue casting sprue and one or more riser casting riser s. Talcum powder and sand is again sifted over the pattern, and rammed to fill the cope. The pins are then carefully pulled out of the sand. The critical part of the operation is to separate the cope and drag to remove the pattern. The pattern may be vibrated with a powered vibrator, or the pattern, and maybe the cope and drag flask, will be lightly tapped with a small hammer ..., and metal can be poured into the mold.

In field hockey , the drag flick is a specialist scoring shot usually played as a set piece during penalty corner field hockey penalty corner s, that appeared in the 1990s. It was introduced to the outdoor game by Netherlands Dutch international Taco van den Honert in the summer of 1992, after a change in the penalty corner rules permitting shots higher than 45 cm. Drag flicks had already been used in indoor hockey prior to 1992, as no hitting is allowed in this form of hockey. The action involves a player crouching low down next to the ball and picking it up on the shaft of the field hockey stick hockey stick . The ball is then pushed along the ground whilst the stick is moving with a slinging action. This serves to accelerate the ball, which is eventually released in a goalwards direction, often raised.

This causes many dispatchers to be extremely conservative with how they handle drag freights, especially when they share lines with higher priority fast freights and passenger trains. Power In the mid 20th century, large locomotives such as 2 10 2 s were typically used for drag freight operations. After the railroads dieselized, heavy duty diesel locomotives typically six axle units, to improve adhesion were used for the drag freights. Multiple unit operations allowed one person to control multiple locomotives. As many as 4 11 locomotives may be used for a heavy haul drag freight. Attempts were made to develop ultra large locomotives for this purpose, for example the Union Pacific DDA40X and gas turbine locomotives. When AC traction motors coupled with thyristor Inverter electrical inverter s were made available, locomotives such as EMD SD70MAC and the GE AC4400CW replaced the older EMD SD40 on a three for two basis.

The term is commonly used in automotive technology for the link in a four bar steering linkage that converts rotation of a steering arm to a center link and eventually to tie rod links which pivot the wheels to be steered. A drag link is used when the steering arm operates in a plane above the other links. The drag link converts the sweeping arc of the steering arm to linear motion in the plane of the other steering links. Typically, one end of the drag link is connected via the Pitman arm and steering gearbox to the steering wheel providing the connection between the driver and the steering system the other end is attached to the vehicle frame by the idler arm . An alternate steering mechanism is a rack and pinion , a three bar linkage that eliminates the drag link by directly moving the center link.

unreferenced date October 2008 In fluid dynamics , drag crisis is a phenomenon in which drag coefficient drops off suddenly as Reynolds number increases. This has been well studied for round bodies like sphere s and Cylinder geometry cylinders . The drag coefficient of a sphere will change rapidly from about 0.5 to 0.2 at a Reynolds number in the range of 300000. This corresponds to the point where the flow pattern changes, leaving a narrower turbulent wake. The behaviour is highly dependent on small differences in the condition of the surface of the sphere.

Unreferenced date June 2011 Image Drag Curve 2.jpg right Parasitic drag also called skin friction drag is Drag physics drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid medium in the case of aerodynamics , more specifically, a gaseous medium . Parasitic drag is made up of many components, the most prominent being form drag . Skin friction and interference drag are also major components of parasitic drag. In aviation, induced drag tends to be greater at lower speeds because a high angle of attack is required to maintain Lift force lift , creating more drag. However, as speed increases the induced drag becomes much less, but parasitic drag increases because the fluid is flowing faster around protruding objects increasing friction or drag. At even higher transonic and supersonic speeds, wave drag enters the picture. Each of these forms of drag changes in proportion to the others based on speed. The combined overall drag curve therefore shows a minimum at some airspeed an aircraft flying ... drag.
