The aim of the research presented here is to design and implement a system for automatic production of copper wire, by the method of up-casting. The subsystem for induction heating includes automatic control of the temperature of the melted as well as annealed copper, automatic regulation of the induction heating power. The induction coil was designed and made to provide proper heating of the copper wire that is produced, so that the necessary temperature can be reached and its annealing or melting obtained. The coil is made of copper tube and its temperature is regulated using forced oil flow through the tube. The system can be easily adapted to be used in automation of the process of steel wire or iron wire annealing, having in mind the electrical and magnetic properties of the steel and iron. The system was produced, tested and put to work.

The dynamic and hydrodynamic properties of the pad in the fluid pivot journal bearing are investigated in this paper. Preload coefficients, recess area, and size gap, which were selected as input parameters to investigate, are important parameters of fluid pivot journal bearing. The pad’s pendulum angle, lubricant oil flow through the gap, and recess pressure which characterizes the squeeze film damper were investigated with different preload coefficients, recess area, and gap sizes. The computational models were established and numerical methods were used to determine the equilibrium position of the shaft-bearing system. Since then, the pendulum angle of the pad, liquid flow, and recess pressure were determined by different eccentricities.

Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness

In this study, a composite plain material is composed of woven fabrics containing metal wire with shielding ability and polyester filament that can provide flexibility and far-infrared emissivity. Furthermore, a wrapping process is used to form metal/far-infrared–polyester wrapped yarns, which are then made into metal/far-infrared–polyester woven fabrics. The effects of using stainless steel wire, Cu (copper) wire, or Ni–Cu (nickel-coated copper) wire on the wrapped yarns and woven fabrics are examined in terms of tensile properties, electrical properties, and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. Moreover, SS+Cu+Ni-Cu woven fabrics have maximum tensile strength, while SS+Ni-Cu woven fabrics have the maximum elongation and SS+Cu+Ni-Cu woven fabrics have the lowest surface resistivity. Stainless steel composite woven fabrics have far-infrared emissivity of 0.89 when they are composed of double layers. electromagnetic shielding effectiveness test results indicate that changing the number of lamination layers and lamination angle has a positive influence on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of woven fabrics. In particular, SS+Cu+Ni-Cu woven fabrics exhibit electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of −50 dB at a frequency of 2000–3000 MHz when they are laminated with three layers at 90°.

Regenerative Shock Absorber

Hydraulic electromagnetic energy-regenerative shock absorber is a new kind of shock absorbers, who can perform the function of a standard shock while acting as an additional source of power. One of the core components of this new shock absorber is the valve system. And its function is to rectify the direction of the oil flow. Then the oil can flow through the hydraulic motor from one port only no matter in expansion stroke or compression stroke. The research focused on the compactness, sensitivity and energy recovery rate of two different valve systems. And the results showed that the valve system composed of check valves better matched the hydraulic electromagnetic energy-regenerative shock absorber.

The conditions which determine the existence and position of cavitation in the narrow passages of hydrodynamically lubricated bearings have been assumed to be the same as those which produce cavitation bubbles, namely a lowering of pressure below that at which gas separates out of fluid. This assumption enables certain predictions to be made which in some cases are verified, but it does not provide a physical description of the interface between oil and air. Theoretical analysis of the situation seems to be beyond our present capacity, and in none of the experiments so far published has it been possible to measure both the most important relevant data, namely the minimum clearance and the oil flow through it.A method is described here which enables this to be done. It turns out that two physically different kinds of cavitation can occur. One of these is well described by the existing theory and assumption. Surface tension plays no part in it, and in most text books on hydrodynamic lubrication is not even mentioned. The other kind, which is akin to hydrodynamic separation rather than bubble cavitation, depends essentially on surface tension. Both kinds appear clearly in published photographs taken through transparent bearings, but the experimenters do not seem to have distinguished between them.The reason why surface tension, which is only able to supply stresses that are exceedingly small compared with the pressure variation in the fluid itself, may have a large effect on the flow can be understood by considering the flow of a viscous fluid in a tube when blown out by air pressure applied at one end. For any given length of fluid the rate of outflow depends almost entirely on the pressure applied, the surface tension force being negligible; but the amount of fluid left in the tube after the air column has reached the end depends essentially on surface tension.

The demand of further increased bypass ratio of aero engines will lead to low pressure turbines with larger diameters, which rotate at lower speed. Therefore, it is necessary to guide the flow leaving the high pressure turbine to the low pressure turbine at a larger diameter without any loss generating separation or flow disturbances. Due to costs and weight this intermediate turbine duct (ITD) has to be as short as possible. This leads to an aggressive (high diffusion) and further to a super-aggressive s-shaped duct geometry. In order to investigate the influence of the blade tip gap size on such a high diffusion duct flow a detailed test arrangement under engine representative conditions is necessary. Therefore, the continuously operating Transonic Test Turbine Facility (TTTF) at Graz University of Technology has been adapted: An super-aggressive intermediate duct is arranged downstream of a transonic HP-turbine stage providing an exit Mach number of about 0.6 and a swirl angle of −15 degrees. A second LP-vane row is located at the end of the duct and represents the counter rotating low pressure turbine at a larger diameter. A following deswirler and a diffuser are the connection to the exhaust casing of the facility. In order to determine the influence of the blade tip gap size on the flow through such a super-aggressive s-shaped turbine duct measurements were conducted with two different tip gap sizes, 1.5% span (0.8 mm) and 2.4% span (1.3 mm). The aerodynamic design of the HP-turbine stage, ITD, LP-vane and the de-swirler was done by MTU Aero engines. In 2007 at ASME Turbo Expo the influence of the rotor clearance size onto the flow through an aggressive ITD was presented. For the present investigation this aggressive duct has been further shortened by 20% (super-aggressive ITD) that the flow at the outer duct wall is fully separated. This paper shows the influence of the rotor tip clearance size onto this separation. The flow through this intermediate turbine duct was investigated by means of five-hole-probes, static pressure taps, boundary layer rakes and oil flow visualisation. The oil flow visualisation showed the existence of vortical structures within the separation where they seem to be imposed by the upstream HP-vanes. This work is part of the EU-project AIDA (Aggressive Intermediate Duct Aerodynamics, Contract: AST3-CT-2003-502836).
