Abstract

A novel approach was devised to optimize the stator slot semi-closed type in order improve the magnetic flux connection and minimize iron leakage in high-speed spindle drives. The concept was executed through a combination of response surface approach including the technique of finite element analysis. The primary objective of this investigation would be to provide an engineering approach which improves the functionality of stator criteria, including the stator slot geometry, coil turn per slot, and wire size. The purpose is to achieve higher flux connection and minimize iron leakage. This study presents an enhanced analytical approach that incorporates the analysis of stator flux connection, finite element calculation of flux connection, and iron leakage analysis of stator variables. The results are analyzed through the utilization of finite element computation, and their accuracy is verified through experimental measurements. The findings suggest the ideal design yields increased magnetic flux connection and reduced iron leakage in comparison to the industrial layout. The precision provided by the suggested model is confirmed through the comparison of the simulation and experimental information. In general, the percentage of errors is estimated to be around 7%.

Abstract

One of the recent developments in carbon fiber is using nano zinc oxide (ZnO) as a coating on carbon fiber to create piezoelectric materials. Piezoelectric materials can generate electricity when subjected to mechanical pressure or strain, and vice versa. ZnO nanomaterials have been a focal point of research due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and high reactivity. This study reported on the use of ZnO for coating agents in carbon fiber sensors. The novelty in this research is the composition of current, time, ethanol concentration, and pH electrolyte to produce the optimum composition of piezoelectric material. The process was conducted using an electrochemical method, which converts electrical energy into chemical energy through electro-deposition. This study considers four independent variables: electrolyte current (1.2 A and 1.4 A), electrolyte pH (2.0, 4.0, and 6.0), ethanol concentration (70% and 96%), and coating duration (90, 180, and 270 seconds). The results show that 1.4 A produces the highest average voltage, followed by electrolyte pH 6 and 70% ethanol concentration. The best coating time was 270 seconds producing the highest average voltage. Micro and SEM confirm that 1.4 A produced a thicker and more uniform layer compared to 1.2 A. High pH, 70% ethanol concentration, and longer coating time also contributed to the formation of thicker layers. XRD test shows that the layers formed had amorphous and hexagonal crystal structures. The average crystal diameter size varies depending on the combination of independent variables used in the coating process. With these results, piezoelectric has potential as a pulse sensor material.

Several researchers have conducted previous studies and developed various types related to the microbubble generator. The swirl-type microbubble generator has demonstrated advantages over other types. It has been widely explored recently due to its simple structure, efficiency in producing micron-sized bubbles, and potential applications across various fields. Therefore, this article reviews recent developments in swirl-type bubble generator research, encompassing the definition of microbubbles, methods for generating microbubbles through experimental and numerical approaches, the performance of microbubble generators, and their applications. Based on optimized geometric parameters combined with appropriate flow conditions, the swirl-type bubble generator is predicted to produce bubbles with controlled sizes and concentrations that meet specific requirements.

Abstract

The art of touch therapy has been around for centuries and has evolved into various models and styles throughout the years. In addition to reducing muscle pain, relieving stress, and providing relaxation, this therapy has worked and has been useful for many people. Methods such as touch or pressure stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which plays a role in a person's emotional well-being. Knowing its effects, the interaction between therapeutic devices used on the body needs to be studied further. The contact area provided by the deep touch pressure (DTP) tool will also play an important role in the therapeutic outcome. In addition, levels of comfort in pressure treatment should also be explored further to ensure compliance. This paper describes in extensive the potential of DTP in providing a comfort effect from a contact mechanics perspective. Interactions of various DTP types and pressure distribution on body area have been further investigated to minimize the contact mechanics research gap in DTP and provide the bridge between sensory therapy and the mechanical engineering domain.

Abstract

The ternary nanofluids are considered due to their advantages in overcoming the stability drawback of mono and binary nanofluids. This study aims to heat transfer performance of Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 ternary nanofluids in plain tube with wire coil under experimental. The ternary nanofluids were formulated using the composition ratio of 20:16:64 by volume in various volume concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 3.0%. Thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of ternary nanofluids were measured with KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyzer and Brookfield LVDV III Rheometer. Experimental forced convection heat transfer was carried out using a fabricated setup for Reynolds numbers from 2,300 to 12,000 at bulk temperature of 70 °C in plain tubes with wire coil inserts (0.83 ≤ P/D ≤ 2.50). Experimental results are highest thermal conductivity enhancement of 24.8% was obtained for ternary nanofluids at 3.0% volume concentration. The 3.0% volume concentration also shows the highest viscosity at all temperatures. The maximum heat transfer improvement for ternary nanofluids in a plain tube with wire coil (P/D-0.83), was attained by 3.0% volume concentration of up to 199.23%. The average TPF of the wire coil increases compared to the plain tube and improves further with volume concentrations in the range of 2.39 to 2.84.
