Adequate thermal properties of electro-insulating liquids ensure reliable work of transformers. Two natural esters were selected for the study – one commonly used in distribution transformers, the other characterized by low viscosity. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy were used to examine the chemical structure of the examined esters. Properties such as thermal conductivity coefficient λ, kinematic viscosity υ, specific heat cp, density ρ, and thermal expansion coefficient β were analyzed. Heat transfer factor α of the liquid was calculated on the basis of obtained properties. This factor defines the ability of an insulating liquid to heat transport in the transformer, thus determining its reliability. The authors put forward a thesis that a low viscosity natural ester will have a higher heat transfer factor α due to its low viscosity, which affects the factor α. The analysis of thermal properties was carried out for the following temperatures: 25, 40, 60, and 80°C. On the basis of the calculated factor α, the temperature drops in the transformer filled with the analyzed types of natural esters were determined. It has been shown that if a low viscosity natural ester is used in the cooling system of the transformer, the temperature of the hot-spot will be lower. This fact may contribute to more reliable work of transformers and extend its service life.","PeriodicalId":309533,"journal":{"name":"Ekspolatacja i Niezawodnosc - Maintenance and Reliability","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131874587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This determines the need to use different means to increase the level of the adhesion of the locomotive wheels with rails and to ensure the stability of the traction [25, 26]. On the other hand, a high value of the adhesive coefficient is a major factor for realizing the maximum braking force of a train when using friction brakes and significantly increases the level of traffic safety [20]. This is especially true in case of emergency braking or an emergency stopping of trains before prohibitive traffic lights have turned on unexpectedly, i. e. it is essential to avoid the case of the railway station overruns or SPAD signal passing at danger [16]. The most common way to increase adhesion is to use silica sand or other mineral materials similar in hardness properties. This method, along with indisputable advantages (high efficiency, ease of use, relative cheapness) has obvious disadvantages: clogging of ballast, increased wear of wheels and rails [7, 23], increased resistance to movement in traction mode. Given the above disadvantages, the optimization of the use of sand is relevant. The spraying of sand into the wheel–rail contact is one of the most effective ways to enhance the friction between the driven wheels and rail under conditions of low adhesion, especially on intensive acceleration or emergency braking running modes. The scientific works carried out by worldwide researchers on reasons of low adhesion showed that wheel/ rail adhesion coefficient (the ratio of normal to friction force in the contact) varied between 0.04 and 0.55, averaging 0.3 in dry conditions. The impact of adding moisture to the rail reduced this average to 0.2, still the leaves can reduce the adhesion coefficient as low as 0.02 [23, 24]. Other causes of low adhesion have been identified as: general moisture/dampness combined with contaminants such as rust, ice, coal dust, leaf, spilled diesel fuel/ lubricating oils/flange lubricating grease/hydraulic fluid, airborne kerosene from nearby airports, or other chemicals from industrial sites [3]. Lewis S. R. et al. and Wang et al. [24, 35] carried out comprehensive research work using a full-scale laboratory rail–wheel test machine to find the position for the hose and sand flow rates that give optimum sand entrainment to the contact.

However, most current studies were concentrated in studying the influence of the local defect located at the centerline of raceway on the bearing vibrations, where the effects of local defects surround the centerline were ignored. To overcome this problem, based on Hertzian point contact theory and multi-body dynamic algorithm, a multi-body dynamic model considering the offset and angular distributions for a ball bearing with a local defect on its outer raceway is established. The influences of offset distance and skew angle between the geometric center of local defect and the centerline of outer raceway on the bearing vibrations are investigated. The relationship between the offset distance and the impulse waveform characteristics is obtained, as well as that between the skew angle and the impulse waveform characteristics. The results show that the offset distance and skew angle of the local defect have a great influence on the time-domain impulse waveform characteristics of the bearing accelerations. This paper can provide a useful guidance for the accurate diagnosis of early local fault in the ball bearings.","PeriodicalId":309533,"journal":{"name":"Ekspolatacja i Niezawodnosc - Maintenance and Reliability","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133420936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was assumed that the motion resistance depends on the contact forces. For that reason, the main goal of modeling was an estimation of the forces and determination of the influence of such parameters, like rotational speed of the bearing ring, pre-displacement of the bearing and fit of the shaft and the inner ring, exerted on those forces. In the literature, when estimating the contact forces, such parameters are taken into account very rarely. The modelling was performed by means of a numerical method, viz. FEM. The modeling results show that the omission of such parameters will lead to big errors in estimation of contact forces, and those errors may be as high as 100%, or even higher. The real motion resistance will be bigger than calculated.","PeriodicalId":309533,"journal":{"name":"Ekspolatacja i Niezawodnosc - Maintenance and Reliability","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129097283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous works mainly focus on the reliability evaluation for infrastructures and basic equipment, however, its propagation reliability has not been taken into full consideration. This paper proposes a new method for evaluating the reliability of the wireless communication based on the analysis of the traditional outdoor wave propagation loss models. In the reliability evaluation of the radio communication, we firstly consider the transmission frequency, the antenna height, the cell type and the communication distance. Then, we use a lognormal distribution to fit the random distribution curve of the communication distance so that the relationship between the path loss value and the reliability can be analysed. We further derive the probability distribution function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the path loss value from different antenna correction factors, cell type correction factors and terrain correction factors. Finally, we calculate the radio communication reliability values at different frequencies based on the threshold of the propagation loss value. Compared with the reliability degree only considering the communication distance threshold, the influence of environmental factors on the reliability of the VHF and the UHF radio propagation has been analysed.","PeriodicalId":309533,"journal":{"name":"Ekspolatacja i Niezawodnosc - Maintenance and Reliability","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126387974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we integrate a Kriging regression model and a distributed collaborative response surface method (DCRSM) for the reliability assessment of turbo-fan blades, considering the relevant uncertainty. Following a series of deterministic analyses, such as steady-state aerodynamic analysis, harmonic response analysis and Campbell diagram, and based on the assumption that vibration stress is mainly from aerodynamic load, the fatigue strength is calculated for turbo-fan blades under coupling aerodynamic forces, according to a modified Goodman curve of titanium-alloy. Giving consideration to the uncertainty of the resonance frequencies and material properties, the fatigue strength of the turbo-fan blade is evaluated, including probabilistic analysis and sensitivity analysis. In the case study analyzed, the conclusions are that the fatigue strength reliability reaches 96.808% with confidence level of 0.95 for the turbo-fan blade under the coupling aerodynamic forces, and the first three-order resonant frequencies are found to have important influence on the fatigue performance of turbo-fan blades.","PeriodicalId":309533,"journal":{"name":"Ekspolatacja i Niezawodnosc - Maintenance and Reliability","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126818647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inlet header of the condenser is connected with the top part of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV), which is occupied by steam during critical operation. The lower header in turn is linked with the RPV below the liquid water level during normal operation of the reactor. The tube bundle is filled with cold water and it is located in a vessel filled with water of the same temperature. Thus, the EC and RPV form together a system of communicating vessels. In case of an emergency and a decrease of the water level in the RPV, the water flows gravitationally from U-tubes to the RPV. At the same time the steam from the RPV enters to the EC and condenses due to its contact with cold walls of the EC. The condensate flows then back to the RPV due to the tubes inclination. Hence, the system removes heat from the RPV and serves as a highand low-pressure injection system at the same time. In this paper a model of the EC system is presented. The model was developed with Modelica modeling language and OpenModelica environment which had not been used in this scope before.

The drought experiences in Europe in 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2018 were the worst in a century and affected not only Southern and Western Europe, but also the countries in Northern Europe (including Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden and Poland).
