The dielectric strength of insulating materials was studied under shear stress to evaluate the insulation performance of rectangular conductor coils for fusion reactor. Particular attention was paid to the problem of insulating properties under stress.
In this study, dielectric strength of glass cloth reinforced epoxy under shear stress was measured at room and liquid nitrogen temperature....
Hydrogen is expected to be one of the most promising energy options for future energy generation as it is renewable, is environmentally friendly, and has high gravimetric energy density. Hydrogen can be stored in the form of compressed gas, in materials such as metal hydrides, and in liquid phase. The most efficient way to transport and store hydrogen is in the liquid phase. Moreover, compared...
Due to the strict emission restriction standards for fossil fuels, hydrogen has great promise as a future ecofriendly fuel. It is the most abundant chemical element in the universe, and hydrogen energy production emits no greenhouse emissions. However, since hydrogen is the lightest element, large-volume storage tanks are required to realize the same fuel efficiency as fossil fuels. Hydrogen...
Non-vacuum insulation systems are frequently applied in the thermal management of low temperature systems as well as for the use and storage of cryogens. Aerogels are known for their low density, high mesoporosity, high surface areas, low thermal conductivity and high acoustic impedance. This study focuses on polymeric aerogels that can be mass produced as large monoliths while maintaining the...
Recent developments in high temperature superconducting (HTS) cables have allowed for reductions in conductor diameter. For electric transport applications operating voltages required for HTS cables range from 1-10 kV. The reduction in conductor diameter represents higher electric fields on the surface of the conductor. Based on the electrical insulation strategy employed for the HTS cables...
