Vented piston seal prevents fluid leakage between two chambers [PDF]
To prevent fluid leakage around piston seals separating two fluids under differential pressure, a venting system has been devised. Two methods may be used for venting seals through internal passages to an external low-pressure area, O-ring or split-ring ...

Transport and stirring induced by vortex formation [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to analyse the transport and stirring of fluid that occurs owing to the formation and growth of a laminar vortex ring. Experimental data was collected upstream and downstream of the exit plane of a piston-cylinder apparatus ...

Modeling SNR Cassiopeia A from the Supernova Explosion to its Current Age: The role of post-explosion anisotropies of ejecta [PDF]
The remnants of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) have complex morphologies that may reflect asymmetries and structures developed during the progenitor SN explosion. Here we investigate how the morphology of the SNR Cassiopeia A (Cas A) reflects the characteristics of the progenitor SN with the aim to derive the energies and masses of the post-explosion ...

Immunosuppressive Formulations for Immunological Defense against Traumatic Brain Injury
A novel subcutaneous formulation combining alpha‐ketoglutarate, glycolysis inhibitor PFK15, and a myelin peptide reduces inflammation in a mouse TBI model. This formulation promotes regulatory immune cells, enhances autophagy, and improves motor function, suggesting its potential as a prophylactic immunosuppressive therapy to mitigate TBI‐induced ...

TEMPERATURE EFFECT IN MINIMUM OIL FILM THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS IN A SIMPLIFIED SINGLE-RING TEST RIG USED TO SIMULATE THE PISTON-CYLINDER ASSEMBLY [PDF]
As part of the study of the complex lubrication phenomena between the piston-ring and the cylinder liner, it is important to characterize the oil film thickness in view of new designs that can be implemented for the piston-ring assembly.

The cylinder liner and piston ring form the most crucial friction pair in the diesel engine, contributing 35–40% of its overall friction losses. Recent research indicates that transient heat transfer significantly affects piston ring lubrication. However,

Anomalous Structure and Scaling of Ring Polymer Brushes [PDF]
A comparative simulation study of polymer brushes formed by grafting at a planar surface either flexible linear polymers (chain length $N_L$) or (non-catenated) ring polymers (chain length $N_R=2 N_L$) is presented. Two distinct off-lattice models are studied, one by Monte Carlo methods, the other by Molecular Dynamics, using a fast implementation on ...

Formation and dynamics of a semi vortex ring connected to a free surface [PDF]
Playing a role in the locomotion of some animals such as the water strider, the formation and dynamics of a semi vortex ring connected to a free surface are experimentally investigated. This semi vortex ring is generated by the circular motion of a flat circular disk in water.

Mechanistic Insights into the Surface Instabilities of TiNb2O7, a High‐Power Li‐Ion Anode
TiNb2O7 is an attractive anode for Li‐ion batteries, particularly when safety is of the highest concern. However, despite operating at high potentials, electrolyte degradation is a major concern. It is demonstrated that throughout the entire charge‐discharge cycle a number of surface reactions occur which both produce gas and result in Ti dissolution ...
