There is a need to remove heat from compact spaces (on the order of inches on a side) in a variety of cooling applications.  Some examples include power electronics, transformers, base stations in cellular communications, automotive electronics, portable and wearable electronics, electric vehicle batteries, power distribution systems in computers, military electronics and avionics, and food processing.  In most cases, the use of sophisticated cooling techniques (externally simple, yet highly en ....etc

The aim of this study is to propose simple and reliable techniques to assess the condition of metal oxide arrester based on the dielectric response techniques. A number of modern electrical diagnostics for Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA) are discussed in this paper. The techniques included return voltage, decay voltage and polarisation/depolarisation current measurement. The single and multipulse current (8/20micros) was used to artificially degrade the MOSA. The before and after diagnostic ....etc

INTRODUCTION


Metal foam is a dispersion of gas bubbles in a metallic bulk material
These are extremely lightweight materials
It contains 50% or more holes
They have some very promising properties

Structure o f metal foam
In metal foams cells are divided into distinct cells. the boundaries of these materials are made of solid material, the interior are voids.


Light weight Al foam
The best quality metal foams presently available
It has a density of from 300 to 1,000 kg/m³, th ....etc

Metal matrix composite

A metal matrix composite (MMC) is composite material with at least two constituent parts, one being a metal. The other material may be a different metal or another material, such as a ceramic or organic compound. When at least three materials are present, it is called a hybrid composite. An MMC is complementary to a cermet.Contents

Babbitt metal,
also called white metal, is an alloy used to provide the bearing surface in a plain bearing. It was invented in 1839 by Isaac Babbitt in Taunton, Massachusetts, USA. The term is used today to describe a series of alloys used as a bearing metal. Babbit metal is characterized by its resistance to gall.

Common compositions for Babbitt alloys:

* 90% tin 10% copper
* 89% tin 7% antimony 4% copper
* 80% lead 15% antimony 5% tin

Originally used as a cast in place bulk ....etc
