Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technologies possess great potential for improving the sustainability of manufacturing processes, which can reduce the absolute quantity of metalworking fluid (MWF) and also enable near-dry chips that are easier to...
Spray droplet diameters play a key role in the field of liquid plant protection product (PPP) application technology. However, the availability of various measurement techniques, each with its unique operating principles for evaluating droplet size s...
Laser-induced fluorescence imaging of aluminum atoms (Al-PLIF) is used to analyze the spatio-temporal behavior of aluminized solid propellant combustion. Using alternating LIF and chemiluminescence emission images of the particles in the gaseous and...
The quantitative investigation of droplet laden turbulent flows at high temperature conditions is of great importance for numerous applications. In this study, an experiment was set up for investigation of evaporating urea–water sprays, which a...
The thermal load that occurs during grinding can be reduced with the aid of an optimized metalworking fluid (MWF) supply. In previous work, mainly the free jet was considered for the determination of the conditions required for an optimized MWF suppl...
In this study, we examined the impact of droplet size and laser energy on droplet fragmentation and the resulting species composition due to laser irradiation of an acoustically levitated heptane droplet. Using shadowgraphy and spatially resolved las...
This study experimentally investigates the dynamic behavior and energy conversion characteristics of a single contaminated bubble (deq = 2.49–3.54 mm, Reb = 470–830) rising near a vertical wall (S* = 1.41–2.02) in a linear shear flo...
Cavitation in aircraft hydraulic systems continues to pose a serious problem for the aviation industry. This paper presents a new study on cavitation in aviation hydraulic fluid AMG-10 at its inception condition, corresponding to a relative pressure...
