Discover the hidden ways air and water degrade lubricants and cause unexpected failures in manufacturing operations.

ABSTRACT Aerator systems promote additional insertion of air into the flow and can reduce the risk of cavitation and consequent damage to hydraulic structures. This work analyzes the hydrodynamic ...

It is essential to valorize waste biomass and promote a circular economy for realizing sustainability and decarbonization goals. In this review, we specifically focus on anaerobic digestion (AD) ...

For transabdominal histotripsy in vivo, however, cavitation-based aberration correction (AC) is complicated by acoustic signal clutter and respiratory motion. This study develops a method that enables ...

The lumped-parameter numerical pressure-flow model of the axial piston pump and the lubrication model of the slipper-swashplate interface have been developed. These models consider the pressure of ...

Cavitation occurs when a fluid’s pressure drops low enough to form vapor bubbles, which then violently collapse as pressure rises again—creating shockwaves powerful enough to erode metal. This ...

The characteristics of the lubricant viscosity, a function of the variation of pressure and temperature, associated to the film thickness, will define the lubrication regime in the work zone: ...

As strong oxidizers, OH radicals are crucial for water treatment applications involving plasma–liquid interactions. Hydrodynamic cavitation-based systems show promise for disinfection and ...
