Cooling in liquid nitrogen is a typical service condition of high-temperature superconducting wire, and the variation of boiling stages on the wire protective layers such as the brass layers could be crucial for the quench behavior of superconducting devices. In this study, the influence of brass surface morphology (parameters of surface roughness and fractal dimension) on the Leidenfrost effect (including the wall superheat at critical heat flux and the wall superheat at Leidenfrost point, which are respectively characterized by the temperatures of ΔTCHF and ΔTLP) was studied. The surfaces of brass samples were polished by sandpaper to obtain different morphologies, which were characterized by using white light interferometer images, and the boiling curves were recorded and analyzed by Matlab with lumped parameter method. The experimental results demonstrated that the surface morphology of brass samples could influence the ΔTLP significantly, but had no clear relationship with the ΔTCHF. Moreover, the multi-scaled analysis was carried out to explore the influencing mechanism of surface microstructure, the relationship between ΔTLP and scale was more clear when the scale was small, and the fractal dimension was calculated and discussed together with surface roughness. The findings of this study could be instructive for surface treatment of superconducting wires to suppress quench propagation.

In exploration geophysics the main and initial aim is to determine density of under-research goals which have certain density difference with the host rock. Therefore, we state a method in this paper to determine the density of bouguer plate, the so-called variogram method based on fractal geometry. This method is based on minimizing surface roughness of bouguer anomaly. The fractal dimension of surface has been used as surface roughness of bouguer anomaly. Using this method, the optimal density of Charak area insouth of Hormozgan province can be determined which is 2/7 g/cfor the under-research area. This determined density has been used to correct and investigate its results about the isostasy of the studied area and results well-coincided with the geology of the area and dug exploratory holes in the text area

AbstractTillage and slope will influence soil surface roughness that changes during rainfall events. This study tests this effect under controlled conditions quantified by geostatistical and fractal indices. When four commonly adopted tillage practices, namely, artificial backhoe (AB), artificial digging (AD), contour tillage (CT), and linear slope (CK), were prepared on soil surfaces at 2 × 1 × 0.5 m soil pans at 5°, 10°, or 20° slope gradients, artificial rainfall with an intensity of 60 or 90 mm h−1 was applied to it. Measurements of the difference in elevation points of the surface profiles were taken before rainfall and after rainfall events for sheet erosion. Tillage practices had a relationship with fractal indices that the surface treated with CT exhibited the biggest fractal dimension D value, followed by the surfaces AD, AB, and CK. Surfaces under a stronger rainfall tended to have a greater D value. Tillage treatments affected anisotropy differently and the surface CT had the strongest effect on anisotropy, followed by the surfaces AD, AB, and CK. A steeper surface would have less effect on anisotropy. Since the surface CT had the strongest effect on spatial variability or the weakest spatial autocorrelation, it had the smallest effect on runoff and sediment yield. Therefore, tillage CT could make a better tillage practice of conserving water and soil. Simultaneously, changes in semivariogram and fractal parameters for surface roughness were examined and evaluated. Fractal parameter – crossover length l – is more sensitive than fractal dimension D to rainfall action to describe vertical differences in soil surface roughness evolution.

To solve the problems of low processing efficiency and poor glass surface quality when using rare earth polishing powder to grind super-hard K9 glass. The potential, phase structure, surface morphology, and particle size distribution of the nano-rare earth polishing powder were characterized. Compare the evaluation indexes such as polishing efficiency, surface morphology, and contact angle after the polishing process is changed. The results of the comparative study show that the average surface roughness of the glass after heating ultrasonic polishing process is 0.9064 nm, the polishing rate reaches 0.748 μm/min, the average surface roughness of the glass without heating ultrasonic polishing process is 1.3175 nm, and the polishing rate reaches 0.586 μm/min, the ultrasonic assisted polishing process is superior to the conventional polishing process. The heating ultrasonic method provides experimental basis for precise and rapid processing.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate surface integrity of quenched steel 1045 ground drily by the brazed cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel and the black SiC wheel, respectively. Surface integrity, including surface roughness, sub-surface hardness, residual stresses and surface morphology, was investigated in detail, and the surface quality of samples ground by two grinding wheels was compared. Design/methodology/approach In the present work, surface integrity of quenched steel 1045 machined by the CBN grinding wheel and the SiC wheel was investigated systematically. All the specimens were machined with a single pass in the down-cutting mode of dry condition. Surface morphology of the ground specimen was observed by using OLYMPUS BX51M optical microscopy. Surface roughness of seven points was measured by using a surface roughness tester at a cut-off length of 1.8 mm and the measurement traces were perpendicular to the grinding direction. Sub-surface micro-hardness was measured by using HVS-1000 digital micro-hardness tester after the cross-section surface was polished. The residual stress was tested by using X-350A X-ray stress analyzer. Findings When the cut depth is increased from 0.01 to 0.07 mm, the steel surface machined by the CBN wheel remains clear grinding mark, lower roughness, higher micro-hardness and higher magnitude of compressive stress and fine microstructure, while the surface machined by the SiC grinding wheel becomes worse with increasing of cut depth. The value of micro-hardness decreases, and the surface roughness increases, and the surface compressive stress turns into tensile stress. Some micro-cracks and voids occur when the sample is processed by the SiC grinding wheel with cut depth 0.07 mm. Originality/value In this paper, the specimens of quenched steel 1045 were machined by the CBN grinding wheel and the SiC wheel with various cutting depths. The processing quality resulted from the CBN grinding wheel is better than that resulted from the SiC grinding wheel.

This paper investigates the effects of MQL system on the grinding performance of Ti-6Al-4V using SiC abrasive, the evaluation of the performance consisted of analyzing the grinding force, surface roughness and surface morphology. The experiment result indicated that the favorable lubricating effect of MQL oil makes it has the lowest value of grinding force, specific energy and force raito. MQL has better surface finish than dry grinding and fluid grinding has the lowest value of surface roughness under different grinding depth. Surface damages such as: side flow, plastic deformation, redeposition are present in dry and fluid grinding. As grinding depth increased, the damages become much more severe. But in MQL condition, it gives better surface integrity than dry and fluid grinding.


Some of the problems associated with the transportation of crude oils are due to the presence of heavy compounds as asphaltene molecules. This work developed a stochastic model that predicts the fractal dimension of the asphaltene aggregates. It was found that the maximum value of the fractal dimension is 1.71, which corresponds to the reported experimental results. The model can be applied as a universal growing behavior for the analysis of surface roughness when solids deposition is observed in the production systems involving crude oils

Whereas the cylindrical version of an Eden cluster in the plane has a surface roughness with a fractal dimension predicted by theory, the central version has hitherto seemed to conflict with theory. However, a fresh way of analysing computer simulations of the central version shows that this anomaly is more apparent than real, and the central version can thereby be reconciled with theory. As a by-product, we obtain statistical data on the properties of the central version in the plane. The macroscopic shape of a central cluster is not circular, and microscopic roughness depends weakly upon the angular direction of portions of the surface. Rather surprisingly, the edge method of construction gives a more nearly circular shape than the external and internal methods. For higher dimensions than the plane, the corresponding treatment is more difficult, and there the situation remains obscure. Higher dimensions and certain other clusters (e.g.Richardson clusters) are treated briefly in Section 6. The theory of surface roughness uses a spatial generalization of martingales, called a serial harness: this is also described in Section 6.

Abstract Cutter nomenclature and machining conditions has invoke critical impact on the machining behavior and surface integrity of machined samples. In this investigation, the slot milling operation has been performed under various cutter terminology or nomenclature (cutter with the RRA of −7°, 0° and 7°) and cutting conditions (spindle speed, table feed and MQL flow rate) to analyze its resulting outcome on the surface morphological features such as surface roughness (Sa), skewness (S sk ) and kurtosis (S ku ), etc Because the examination of these characteristics are important and significant to analyze the behavioral changes of asperities such as decohesion, wear resistance and adhesion, etc during in its relative motion. Additionally, the plasticity index and surface morphology of machined samples are helps to predict the variation in surface morphology under various machining behavior and through this study, it is found that the interactive effect of MQL flow rate and table feed offer higher and significant impact over the surface characteristics followed by the MQL flow rate during slot milling process.
