The contamination deposition characteristics of insulators can be used in the development of antifouling work.Using COMSOL software, numerical simulations on the pollution-deposited performance of a porcelain three-umbrella insulator and porcelain bell jar insulator in a wind tunnel were conducted, and the simulated results were compared with the t

Abstract Rolling bearings working in oscillating applications often suffer from false brinelling and fretting corrosion that limit their service life.At present, the study of oscillation-induced failures is primarily dominated by a large number of sliding and bench tests.However, most of the previous work are not able to fully describe the two clos

In Korea, Pinus densiflora is one of the most important indigenous tree species in terms of making high-value wood products.Therefore, Korean sawmills exercise extreme caution to prevent fungal discoloration such as that caused by sapstains and molds on the timber.In this study, the effectiveness of using natural crude wood vinegar to inhibit sapst

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC)-based waste heat recovery (WHR) system operating under a BAGS supercritical condition has a higher potential of thermal efficiency and work output than a traditional subcritical cycle.However, the operation of supercritical cycles is more challenging due to the high pressure in the system and transient behavior of wa

Circular economy plays a key role in increasing the sustainability of the agricultural sector, given the countless possibilities of transforming crop residues and recycling precious resources.The maize cultivation process produces a significant amount of residual organic materials, commonly left on the field, as a soil conditioner and source of nut
