The subsystem for induction heating includes automatic control of the temperature of the melted as well as annealed copper, automatic regulation of the induction heating power. The induction coil was designed and made to provide proper heating of the copper wire that is produced, so that the necessary temperature can be reached and its annealing or melting obtained. The coil is made of copper tube and its temperature is regulated using forced oil flow through the tube. The system can be easily adapted to be used in automation of the process of steel wire or iron wire annealing, having in mind the electrical and magnetic properties of the steel and iron. The system was produced, tested and put to work.","PeriodicalId":346160,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Renewable Electrical Power Sources","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125335113","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}

Given that these machines often work in adverse operating conditions (Earth’s boundary layer, vortex trails of surrounding objects, small and changeable wind speeds), additional elements that locally augment wind velocity and facilitate turbine start may be installed. This paper investigates possible benefits of adding an optimized flow concentrator to a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) rotor. Three-dimensional, unsteady, turbulent, incompressible flow simulations of both isolated rotor consisting of three straight blades and a rotor with flow concentrator have been performed in ANSYS FLUENT by finite volume method for several different operational regimes. This type of flow simulations is challenging since flow angles are high, numerous flow phenomena and instabilities are present and the interaction between the blades and detached vortices can be significant. The rotational motion of the blades is solved by the unsteady Sliding Mesh (SM) approach. Flow field is modeled by Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations with k-ω SST turbulence model used for closure. Both quantitative and qualitative examinations of the obtained numerical results are presented. In particular, the two computed power coefficient curves are compared and the advantages of installing a flow concentrator are accentuated.","PeriodicalId":346160,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Renewable Electrical Power Sources","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124186654","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}

A particular aspect of multiple environmental significance is the use of bio-renewable resources and the reduction of the share of the toxic epoxy component in the production of epoxy materials. The first stage considers the synthesis epoxy resin components: epoxy functionalized tannic acid (TA) – ETA, and synthesis of phosphate derivatives of TA - glycidyl ester of TA modified by phosphoric acid (PGET). The second stage considers the synthesis of bio-epoxy resins using ETA and PGET that are used as a replacement of the epoxy resin component (A) – bisphenol A based epoxy in a ratio 25-100% as a reactive diluent to obtain products that can be used in the construction and other industrial fields and have reduced combustibility or completely non-combustible. The second part presents the results of thermal and mechanical tests for some of the obtained derivatives. The addition of 25% of TA derivate improved the toughness as well as the tensile strength of epoxy material. Thermogravimetry showed that samples containing tannin epoxide showed more residue left. Partial or full replacement of the epoxy component with a tannin component produces eco-friendly material with while significantly increased fire resistance (V-2 to V-0).","PeriodicalId":346160,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Renewable Electrical Power Sources","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121006681","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 all experiments, silver nitrate solution and ascorbic acid were used, as a silver source and reducing agent, respectively. Polyvinylpyrrolidone and gelatine were used as dispersants. The dispersant in this system acts as a protective agent in a way that prevents agglomeration and aggregation processes. The influence of used agents was different, and one of the aims in the research was to determine the pros and cons of them. The optimal parameters of the synthesis were the solution temperature of 45 °C, pH=7, and concentrations of silver and ascorbic acid of 45 g/l and 30 g/l, respectively. Although PVP has proved to be a suitable protecting agent for the goals of the study, the best results were obtained with the use of gelatine as a dispersant in the concentration ratio against the silver ions of 2.5 wt. %.","PeriodicalId":346160,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Renewable Electrical Power Sources","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126309656","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}
