The power parameters such as burning explosion pressure, fragment velocity, and temperature were tested, and the explosion power of the bushings was quantitatively evaluated. The results showed that the time-history curves of bushing explosion pressure all show two peaks, and there is a time difference between the two energy releases. In the same radius, the maximum explosion pressure of the fiber bushing is higher than that of the paper bushing by 34%-49%. For the fiber bushing, the first pressure peak is largest in the different radius range, but the first peak of the paper bushing is about half of the second peak, and the pressure duration is only half of the fiber bushing. The pressure propagation speeds of the fiber bushing and paper bushing are 380 m/s and 452 m/s, respectively. When the fiber bushing explodes, the average velocity of the fragments in the direction of the jet orifice is 94 m/s, and the velocity of the fragments is only 10 m/s in the direction away from the jet orifice. The fragment velocity in different directions is basically the same for the paper bushing is about 50 m/s at a radius of 3 m. The temperature rises rapidly when the fiber bushing explodes and continues for a long time when it is reduced to about 3000 K. The time history curve of the temperature of the paper bushing shows an upward-downward-upward trend. The maximum temperature of the fiber bushing is 5399 K, which is higher than that of the paper bushing by 724 K<b>.</b></p></div>","PeriodicalId":689,"journal":{"name":"MAPAN","volume":"40 4","pages":"963 - 973"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145646300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthetic oil, noted for its superior oxidation stability, prolongs oil change intervals and enhances the longevity of filters and separators. The integration of specialised inhibitors guarantees the preservation of internal compressor cleanliness, resulting in continued high efficiency. Experimental investigations comparing synthetic polyglycol oil to conventional mineral oil in screw compressors indicate substantial enhancements in overall efficiency. The synthetic oil offers extended maintenance intervals, achieving up to 8,000 operating hours in oil-injected screw-type compressors and 40,000 operating hours in turbocompressors, alongside prolonged filter and separator lifespans and diminished cleaning expenses due to its exceptional dirt-dissolving properties. Additionally, the synthetic oil aids in sustaining low oil vapour levels in compressed air, minimising oil use, and averting the gumming of pneumatic valves. The synthetic oil adheres to industrial requirements (DIN 51506-VDL and ISO 6743-3 L-DAJ) and demonstrates outstanding wear prevention for steel friction components. Possessing a kinematic viscosity of 55 mm<span>(^{2})</span>/sec at 40 <span>(^{circ })</span>C, it exceeds bearing life specifications, hence forming an efficient lubricating coating for anti-friction bearings.

Education stands as a central pillar of this vision. To ensure that quality education is accessible, equitable, and affordable for all, the National Education Policy (NEP) was introduced by the government in 2020, serving as a critical policy framework within the broader “Viksit Bharat” vision. While the NEP provides a comprehensive roadmap for India’s educational transformation, a unified approach to ensure systemic quality and stakeholder integration is lacking. To fill this gap, this paper introduces the Aswal Model—a quality infrastructure-based framework originally developed for science and innovation—as a conceptual tool to analyse and amplify the NEP’s impact. Rooted in the Quadruple Helix model of academia, industry, government, and civil society, the Aswal Model emphasizes the foundational role of metrology and quality infrastructure systems (QIS) in mediating stakeholder interactions. Using thematic analysis and policy documents, the study demonstrates how QI elements such as standardization, accreditation, and conformity assessment align with NEP’s elements, including core focus areas—Early Childhood Care and Education, Higher Education, and Vocational Education. By embedding QI principles into India’s education policy, the paper offers a novel interdisciplinary pathway for strengthening educational governance and knowledge generation.
