This paper examines the phenomenon of heat distribution on the disk while braking. Heat distribution on the brake disk is caused by the change of the kinetic energy into the mechanical energy. The energy change occurs during the process of braking due to the friction between the surfaces of the disk with the caliper pad. Friction also results in the increase of temperature, This phenomenon is very important to be highlighted in order to learn the characteristic of heat distribution occurs on the disk with different disk types namely ventilation disk and full disk. In addition, this study is also aimed to find out the effect of vehicle load on disk temperature during braking process. The purpose of this research is to analyze the thermal distribution of a vehicle disk brake. The thermal distribution on the disk brake is investigated using ANSYS CFX. This simulation results provide useful information for identifying the influence of different models of disks brake as well as the vehicle load with regard to the distribution of heat that occurs during the process of braking.

To quantify the friction mechanism of the interface of the brake disk-pad pair, an analytical model of coefficient of friction (COF) is established from the perspective of contact mechanics. The model takes into account the surface topography of the disk, mechanical properties of brake pair, and the ingredients of the brake pad. As the reinforcing fillers, the effect of particle size and amount on the COF are analyzed, and the simulation results are consistent with the experimental data. The model and results presented here offer some insight into real brake pair design.

The paper is devoted to mathematical modeling pyroelectric current of ferroelectric single crystal under the conditions of intensive light heating in view of fractal behavior of these materials. The proposed approach is based on numerical simulation of thermal distribution in a ferroelectric sample using time fractional operator as well as computation of pyroelectric response. The simulation results for typical TGS ferroelectric crystal were described in one-dimensional case of the model in comparison with experimental data. Pyroelectric signals depending on temperature pyroelectric coefficient and thermal physical characteristics were also analyzed.

Ship and platforms environmental loads are often predicted by model scale experiments or empirical calculations only. This paper presents the application of a commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software as a numerical approach to calculate the flow around a supply boat considering current, wind loads and fluid resistance determination. Since, owing to many practical situations, free surface effects can be neglected, the above and underwater problems can be uncoupled and independently evaluated, although for higher Froude number cases in the resistance determination the interfacial effects have to be considered. Throughout this paper, the assumptions adopted and the boundary conditions applied are discussed. All meshes were developed on ICEM CFD® and appropriate mesh density studies indicate that meshes with approximately 2 million nodes can represent the experiments accurately. The simulations were conducted using the ANSYS CFX® solver, using Perl scripting for automatic evaluation of multiple run settings and simulation execution at Petrobras Research Center Clusters. The results for each case are compared with either towing tank or wind tunnel experimental data, both harvested at IPT (Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas). The comparison between simulation results and experiments allows the analysis of the present CFD models benefits and limitations, providing guidelines for future similar studies. The overall match between laboratory and virtual tests results supports the expansion of this procedure to other vessels and offshore floating units.

Condenser water from the discharge channel PJB Paiton discharged to the sea has the potential mechanical energy, because the flow rate of 7.6 m3 / s (if both discharge PJB Paiton function) and the discharge channel reaches a height of 4m. This paper will describe the design of hydro power (in the form of a block diagram) by using Kaplan turbine driven by utilizing the wastewater condenser. Kaplan turbine performance represented in the form of the relationship between the incoming water flow and the pitch angle (the angle between the propellers with a hub) to the torque generated. The simulation results indicate that the turbine torque is proportional to the mechanical power turbine. The greater the torque, the greater the mechanical power, and vice versa.

Dielectric elastomer generators are capable of converting mechanical energy from a variety of sources into electrical energy. The energy harvesting performance depends on the interplay between electromechanical coupling, material viscosity, and multiple failure modes. Experiments also suggest that the material viscosity of dielectric elastomers is deformation-dependent, which makes the prediction of the performance of dielectric elastomer generators more challenging. By adopting the coupled field theory, finite-deformation viscoelasticity theory, and the theory for polymer dynamics, this work investigates the harvested energy and conversion efficiency of dielectric elastomer generators from theoretical perspective. By comparing the simulation results from the nonlinear viscosity model to the experimental data and the simulation results from the linear viscosity model, we further examine the possible factors that may strongly influence the performance of dielectric elastomer generators. It is found that dielectric elastomer generators exhibit higher harvested energy when nonlinear material viscosity is considered. Moreover, by selecting a higher voltage of the power supply for the generator, the conversion efficiency of dielectric elastomer generators can be greatly improved. The theoretical framework in this study is expected to offer some new insights into optimizing the design of dielectric elastomer generators and thus improving their performance.
