Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of varying the mass ratio of Ni to Graphene Nano Sheets (GNS) and how incorporating GNS affects the performance of a primary battery prototype (Ni/GNS//electrolyte//GNS). The primary battery prototype was developed using both impregnation and alloy methods. Different mass ratios of Ni/GNS to electrolyte to GNS were tested, including ratios of 1:2:1 (A), 2:2:1 (B), 1:2:2 (C), 2:1:2 (D), and 1:1:2 (E). The characterization of GNS, Ni/GNS, and the primary battery prototype involved using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) instruments. A multimeter was employed to measure electrical conductivity, energy density, and power density. A potentiostat/galvanostat was used to measure cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). XRD analysis showed a broad and weak peak at 2θ= 24.32° for GNS, confirming its successful synthesis. Additionally, a peak at 2θ = 43.5° indicated effective deposition of Ni on the GNS surface in Ni/GNS. The SEM-EDX results supported the XRD findings, showing regularly spaced pores and a thin surface layer in GNS. Notably, white spots on the graphene surface in Ni/GNS indicated successful Ni deposition. In terms of electrical conductivity, the highest value was observed in the primary battery prototype for sample D (2:1:2), which measured 1.11 S/cm2. These results were also supported by measurements of energy density and power density in sample D, which achieved the highest values among all samples, with 144,788 Wh/kg and 252,500 W/kg, respectively. Moreover, the CV and EIS measurements remained stable at 0.30 kΩ and 0.88 kΩ, suggesting that GNS could potentially conduct electrons owing to its electrical conductivity.

Abstract

Electromigration is a critical issue in materials science and electrical engineering, significantly impacting the reliability and efficiency of electrical systems. This study investigates the electromigration behavior of PVC-insulated copper wires under various overcurrent conditions, focusing on material degradation and electrical performance. Copper cables, identified as 046620.3 Eterna CU/PVC 1.5 mm2, were subjected to currents ranging from 0 to 110 A. The mean time to failure (MTTF) was calculated using Black’s equation, revealing a sharp decline in MTTF with increasing current density. Surface morphology analysis using SEM showed the formation of voids and hillocks at higher currents, indicating severe electromigration damage. XRF analysis demonstrated significant changes in the elemental composition, particularly a reduction in copper content and an increase in chlorine and other elements, suggesting degradation of the PVC insulation. FTIR spectroscopy revealed substantial chemical changes in the PVC material, especially under extreme overcurrent conditions, highlighting dehydrochlorination and carbonyl group formation. There is a clear relationship between overcurrent conditions and electromigration phenomena, as evidenced by the observed damage to surface morphology, changes in elemental composition, and alterations in the chemical structure of PVC. The mechanisms and causes of electromigration are explained comprehensively in this work, illustrating how increased overcurrent accelerates the electromigration process, leading to the formation of voids and hillocks in the copper conductor. This damage is accompanied by a significant reduction in copper content and an increase in chlorine levels, indicating the degradation of PVC insulation. FTIR spectra further confirmed these findings by showing chemical changes such as dehydrochlorination and carbonyl group formation under high current stress. The MTTF values reflect the severity of these impacts, with samples exposed to higher currents showing drastically reduced lifespans. For instance, samples subjected to 100 A and 110 A currents exhibited MTTF values of 0.2 minutes and 0.004 minutes, respectively.

Abstract

This research aimed to design and investigate the fiber optic load sensor produced from the mixture of 100 mesh grains of sand, silicone rubber, and catalyst. The response of the resulted fiber optic load sensor was measured by detecting the microbending of single-mode fiber optic in the form of the power meter. The test was conducted using a light source as an input signal on the sensor. The laser is stable for each load sensor test, with a wavelength of 1500 nm. The study's results confirmed that the load sensor's response has a connection between the amount of load and the voltage; the greater the pressure or load, the less the output power will decrease and cause signal weakening.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of overcurrent on copper (Cu) insulated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cables, focusing on their thermal behavior and fire resistance. We utilized thermal imaging, macrostructural analysis, and Joule heating calculations to evaluate six cable samples subjected to various currents. Results showed that with increasing current, the temperature of the cables rose significantly. For example, the CC0 sample, with no current, had a temperature of 36 °C, while the CC110 sample, subjected to 110 A, reached 1,091 °C. Joule heating calculations indicated energy values ranging from 0 J for the CC0 sample to 7,260,000 J for the CC110 sample. Physical observations included minor deformations at 253 °C and complete insulation loss at 1,091 °C. These findings emphasize the critical need for managing overcurrent to prevent severe cable damage and enhance system safety. This research provides practical insights for optimizing cable design and improving thermal management, offering valuable contributions to electrical engineering practices.

Abstract

Temperature and viscosity variations are known to affect the performance of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers in fluid systems. However, there exist gaps in research relative to the thermal effects on the performance of PID based fluid systems. PID controllers are also utilized for fluid control to maintain stability and improve performance. This study aims to explore the influence of temperature and viscosity variations through frequency response analysis for the first time in this regard. Utilizing a controlled experimental setup, gain and phase values were measured across different temperature points. Bode and Nyquist plots were generated to observe system behavior, stability, and response to changes in temperature and fluid viscosity. The results show a clear inverse relationship between temperature and gain, with a notable phase lag increase as temperature rises. At 25 °C, the gain was measured at 15.83 dB with a phase of -52.63°, which gradually reduced to a gain of 13 dB and a phase of -61.53° at 80 °C. The Nyquist analysis revealed stable operation within this temperature range, but the shift in response indicates increased system vulnerability as viscosity decreases with rising temperature. The derived linear equations effectively model the gain-phase relationship, with an R² of 0.9985, suggesting a highly accurate fit. Overall, the study concludes that temperature-induced viscosity changes significantly impact PID-controlled fluid systems, emphasizing the need for adaptive control strategies in fluctuating environments.
