Development of a hardware-software system for the experimental study of the ferromagnetic groove carrying conductor surface
The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the ferromagnetic groove electromagnetic field based on a developed laboratory bench equipped with a hardware — software measuring system. A technique for determining the current density in the conductor cross-section by measuring the magnetic field induction when immersing two types of sensors (frameless fine measuring coil and Hall sensor of a digital millislotometer) has been implemented for various depths inside the groove. The use of a measuring coil as a sensor makes it possible to obtain the current density distribution over the conductor height through the procedure of integrating the voltage proportional to the EMF induced in the measuring coil using a LabVIEW environment-built in a digital integrator. Measurement of magnetic field induction by the Hall digital sensor at a laboratory bench provides the measuring coil verification and the reliability of the experimental study results determination. With the help of the hardware-software complex, a distribution of the current density and magnetic induction along the conductor height in the ferromagnetic groove is obtained at a laboratory bench. The results of an experimental investigation of the surface effect are compared with the results of calculating the alternating magnetic field of a conductor with a current in a ferromagnetic groove in the Elcut 5.6 program complex. The active and the inductive conductor resistance at the industrial frequency are determined.
Automation of the Processing of Diagnostic Information from the Magnetization Loss Sensor
One way to improve the shell metal structures reliability is to determine the defects size under which it is necessary to stop the metal structures usage. One of the main reasons for tank failure is corrosion. The reservoirs can be subjected to corrosive destruction from both the internal and external sides depending on the phase and chemical compositions of the tanks working product, the operating temperature, the system of applied anticorrosive measures, climatic conditions, etc. The article presents the results of the work on an effective software and hardware complex for automatic processing of diagnostic information creation. The device operation is based on the controlled article portion measurement the magnetization reversal loss. The device allows gradually remagnetizing the product piece layer by layer and obtaining a cross section image of the controlled section by changing the magnetic field frequency from high values to low ones. The software package is developed in the Borland Delphi 11 environment.
Preparation of hydrophilic poly(vinyl butyral) hollow fiber membrane via thermally induced phase separation
Abstract Hydrophilic microporous hollow fiber membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS). Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) and three kinds of polyethylene glycols (PEG) with the molecular weight of 200, 400 and 600 were used as polymer and diluents. In all cases, liquid–liquid (L–L) phase separation occurred and asymmetric cellular structures with the smaller pores at the outer surface were obtained. The properties of membranes such as pore size, water permeability, solute rejection and intensity were investigated by changing molecular weight of PEG, concentration of PVB, composition of the bath and air gap distance. The smaller molecular weight of PEG, the more PEG in the bath and the shorter air gap distance resulted in the higher water permeability, the lower solute rejection property and the lower mechanical strength.
