The presented research work examines the effects of different fuel-air equivalence ratios and initial pressure on ignition temperature.
This study shows a non-monotonic pressure dependence in stoichiometric mixtures at varying pressures from 1 to 10 bar and a low sensitivity to changes in the equivalence ratio (0.5-2). The results form the basis for our future research into the complex interaction between lubricant characteristics and hydrogen-air mixtures to better understand pre-ignition phenomena in internal combustion engines.
The motivation and the measurement setup for large fast-scanning piezoresistive cantilevers are presented. The theory behind the measurements of mechanical properties through contact resonance is explained. Results of such measurements on two kinds of polymer are compared to results from force distance curves. Noise, time-dependency and dependency of the results on the vibration mode are identified as challenges of contact resonance.
At the Stakeholder meeting of the EMPIR project “Multifunctional ultrafast microprobes for on-the-machine measurements”, details about two measurement modes were presented. Force distance curves and contact resonance measurements are compared. The basic principles are explained and exemplary measurements concerning mechanical properties of polymers are shown.
The magnetic plasma confinement system of the nuclear fusion experiment “Wendelstein 7-X”, which recently produced the first plasma, consists of 20 planar and 50 non-planar superconducting coils. To keep them precisely in position, these coils contact each other at special support elements. The supports are operated in high vacuum at a temperature of about 4 K, and when the magnetic field is ramped up, forces up to 1500 kN and sliding motion of some mm occurs. Because mechanical disturbances may cause severe failures, only low friction without any stick-slip behaviour is tolerable. In pre-tests a PVD-MoS2-coating had proven to be the optimum solution. It was tested with downsized samples in reciprocating motion in liquid nitrogen (T = 77 K) and liquid helium (T = 4,2 K). In long-term tests in liquid nitrogen this coating showed stable sliding for up to 14.900 friction cycles without coating failure. However, in liquid helium an unexpected stick-slip effect occurred, whose origin could not be clarified so far.
