Although vacuum arcs were first identified over 110 years ago, they are not yet well understood. We have since developed a model of breakdown and gradient limits that tries to explain, in a self-consistent way: arc triggering, plasma initiation, plasma evolution, surface damage and gra- dient limits.

Electrooxidation of Anhydrous Glycerol: Kinetics and Selectivity
This work investigates glycerol electrooxidation in anhydrous conditions to narrow down the range of possible products. Preferential oxidation of glycerol to glyceraldehyde was achieved via homogeneous but not heterogeneous catalytic pathways. Further improvements in the redox mediator and catalyst design are needed to improve the performance.As a by ...

Novel Microwave Plasma Source for Plasma Chemistry in Gases
A new microwave plasma source for plasma gas chemistry is introduced. Microwave energy is specifically coupled into defined gas volumes to activate chemically internal compounds such as N2, CO2 or H2O. The activation of N2 and the conversion of CO2 to CO are given as examples.

Investigating the ability of deep learning to predict Welding Depth and Pore Volume in Hairpin Welding [PDF]
To advance quality assurance in the welding process, this study presents a deep learning DL model that enables the prediction of two critical welds' Key Performance Characteristics (KPCs): welding depth and average pore volume. In the proposed approach, a wide range of laser welding Key Input Characteristics (KICs) is utilized, including welding beam ...

Different failure modes observed in Tishreen tunnel include Floor heave, wall spalling, crashing of slab, and lining convergence reaching the failure limit. Abstract Squeezing phenomena can lead to severe loads in deep tunnels, especially in the presence of a low ratio of surrounding rock strength to overburden pressure.

Microstructural evolution of a low-alloy steel / nickel superalloy dissimilar metal weld during post-weld heat treatment [PDF]
The microstructural evolution of a dissimilar metal weld (DMW) obtained by narrow-gap gas tungsten arc welding (NG-GTAW) was investigated after it was subjected to a post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). The case studied here is a joint between low-alloy steel pipes and a stainless steel steam generator using a nickel based alloy as filler material.
