In this paper, pool boiling of ethanol at atmospheric pressure was analyzed. The enhanced surfaces were made of copper, on which grooves with a depth ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 mm were milled in parallel. The widths of the microchannels and the distances between them were 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm, respectively. The highest heat transfer coefficient, 90.3 kW/m2K, was obtained for the surface with a microchannel depth of 0.5 mm and a width of 0.2 mm. The maximum heat flux was 1035 kW/m2. For the analyzed surfaces, the maximum heat flux increase of two and a half times was obtained, while the heat transfer coefficient increased three-fold in relation to the smooth surface. In the given range of heat flux 21.2–1035 kW/m2, the impact of geometric parameters on the heat transfer process was presented. The diameters of the departing bubbles were determined experimentally with the use of a high-speed camera. A simplified model was proposed to determine the diameter of the departure bubble for the studied surfaces.

Sustainable energy development has attracted attention worldwide, partly because of the value chain of the wind energy industry that focuses on the overall value creation and innovation. In order to achieve not only ambitious goals in the fight against climate change, but also to create significant economic benefits for European Union citizens, it is necessary to ensure the production of renewable energy components in Europe itself and in Lithuania at the same time. This paper aims to evaluate the competitiveness of Lithuanian companies that manufacture wind energy components. The research was conducted applying methods such as a survey of manufacturers of wind energy components, expert assessment and descriptive analysis. The results of the competitiveness assessment revealed that the existing conditions and trends are favourable for the development of their performance and strengthening of their competitiveness. The government solutions to promote industry could facilitate the performance of companies operating in the value chain of wind energy components and encourage new companies to join it. This would encourage the Lithuanian industry to expand its participation in the value chain of the European Union’s renewable energy industry, create more jobs, and increase the added value.

A large number of processes for transporting and handling palletized goods using a forklift in logistics centers is usually associated with an increase in pallet and load damage. Therefore, first of all, the “damage mechanism” was identified. A classic “state of the art” analysis was conducted. The paper presents the essence of the authors’ hybrid idea of:—locking the load;—while increasing the coefficient of friction between the pallet and the forks of the forklift; but so as not to compromise on the existing functionality of the forklift forks. The idea turned out to be an innovation that required intellectual property protection, hence it was not only described in a paper but also patented. It is about an extra element that is not standard on forklifts—a forklift fork attachment. The paper discusses mechanical damage to loads involving a forklift, load damage test results, anti-slip forklift attachment, computational model of the attachment, prototype, and real-world testing of the attachment on a forklift in a logistics center. Design data from the FEM calculation system, photos of:—the prototype with components,—the prototype on tests in the logistics center were made available. The paper concludes with a pallet and load damage study performed at a logistics center and an insulation panel factory. The level of accuracy of the publication is detailed enough that the reader can make the attachment on their own and, using the content of the paper, adapt it to the needs of their own logistics system.

The driving motor is one of the most crucial components of an electric vehicle (EV). The most commonly used type of motor in EVs is the induction motor. These motors generate heat during operation due to the flow of electrical current through the motor’s coils, as well as friction and other factors. For long-run and high efficiency of the motor, cooling becomes more important. This article utilized ANSYS Motor-CAD to map the temperature signature of an induction motor and investigated the thermal efficiency of using nanofluids as a cooling medium. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids has been found to be superior to that of more conventional cooling fluids such as air and water. This research explores the effect of using Al2O3, ZnO, and CuO concentrations in nanofluids (water as a base fluid) on the thermal efficacy and performance of motor. According to the findings, using nanofluids may considerably increase the efficiency of the motor, thereby lowering temperature rise and boosting system effectiveness. Based on the simulation analysis using ANSYS Motor-CAD, the results demonstrate that the utilization of CuO nanofluid as a cooling medium in the induction motor led to a reduction of 10% in the temperature of the motor housing. The maximum reduction in the temperature was found up to 10% when nanofluids were used, which confirms CuO as an excellent option of nanofluids for use as motor cooling and other applications where effective heat transmission is crucial.

W tym celu, został zaprojektowany oraz zbudowany piezogenerator drgań elektrycznych, który składa się z generatora drgań mechanicznych, przetwornika piezoelektrycznego typu Langevina i masy rezonansowej. Zastosowany piezogenerator drgań elektrycznych pozwala generować sygnały elektryczne o częstotliwości 20,2 kHz i tym samym umożliwia precyzyjne sterowanie krokowym piezosilnikiem ultrasonicznym. Dodatkowo, piezogenerator drgań elektrycznych pozwala na odzyskanie części energii drgań i przekształcenie energii mechanicznej na elektryczną, co z kolei umożliwia wyeliminowanie dodatkowych źródeł zasilania zewnętrznego. W pracy zrealizowano również drugi układ sterowania z zastosowaniem kondensatora włączonego w układ piezogeneratora sygnałów elektrycznych. Pozwoliło to na wydłużenie ilości generowanych krokowych przemieszczeń piezosilnika z 1 do 30 dla jednorazowego ładowania kondensatora piezogeneratora. The aim of this study was to investigate a novel burst type signal generator for controlling an ultrasonic motor (USM). For this purpose, an experimental burst type signal generator consisting of a shock exciter, a waveguide, a Langevin-type piezoelectric transducer and backing mass was designed and investigated. The proposed burst type signal generator allows to control a USM in stepper motion, rendering traditional signal generators and power supplies superfluous. The investigated burst type signal generator is designed for controlling a USM with a 20.2 kHz resonant frequency and allows to generate a burst type electric signal with the same frequency. In view of the fact that such a harvester does not require traditional power supply, it could be used as an impact energy harvester. Also, a simple scheme for improving shock exciter operation using an additional capacitor was proposed and investigated. Such a scheme allows to drive USM up to 30 steps instead of 1 per one electric charge of the additional capacitor.

W tym celu, został zaprojektowany oraz zbudowany piezogenerator drgań elektrycznych, który składa się z generatora drgań mechanicznych, przetwornika piezoelektrycznego typu Langevina i masy rezonansowej. Zastosowany piezogenerator drgań elektrycznych pozwala generować sygnały elektryczne o częstotliwości 20,2 kHz i tym samym umożliwia precyzyjne sterowanie krokowym piezosilnikiem ultrasonicznym. Dodatkowo, piezogenerator drgań elektrycznych pozwala na odzyskanie części energii drgań i przekształcenie energii mechanicznej na elektryczną, co z kolei umożliwia wyeliminowanie dodatkowych źródeł zasilania zewnętrznego. W pracy zrealizowano również drugi układ sterowania z zastosowaniem kondensatora włączonego w układ piezogeneratora sygnałów elektrycznych. Pozwoliło to na wydłużenie ilości generowanych krokowych przemieszczeń piezosilnika z 1 do 30 dla jednorazowego ładowania kondensatora piezogeneratora. The aim of this study was to investigate a novel burst type signal generator for controlling an ultrasonic motor (USM). For this purpose, an experimental burst type signal generator consisting of a shock exciter, a waveguide, a Langevin-type piezoelectric transducer and backing mass was designed and investigated. The proposed burst type signal generator allows to control a USM in stepper motion, rendering traditional signal generators and power supplies superfluous. The investigated burst type signal generator is designed for controlling a USM with a 20.2 kHz resonant frequency and allows to generate a burst type electric signal with the same frequency. In view of the fact that such a harvester does not require traditional power supply, it could be used as an impact energy harvester. Also, a simple scheme for improving shock exciter operation using an additional capacitor was proposed and investigated. Such a scheme allows to drive USM up to 30 steps instead of 1 per one electric charge of the additional capacitor.
