On Polymers Nanocomposites: Electrical Treeing, Breakdown models and Related Simulations
Journal Title: Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper deals with polymer nanocomposites and their related breakdown mechanisms. Polymer nanocomposites seem to be a very promising alternative to conventional polymers regarding high voltage applications. Some developed breakdown models are discussed as well as the mechanism of treeing in such materials. Treeing simulation results are presented.

Investigation on the Rheological Behavior of Multigrade Oil under the Effect of Organic and Inorganic Impurities
The lubrication process of mechanical equipment and treatment of assembly metals structures using fluids with efficient rheological properties requires a knowledge of their behavior in the presence and in the absence of...
Investigation of the Effect of Friction Stir Spot Welding of BH Galvanized Steel Plates on Process Parameters and Weld Mechanical Properties
This study evaluates the effect of Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) pin shape on overlapping galvanized BH plates. FSSW is done at 4, 6 and 9 seconds dwell time at two rotational speeds (1500 and 1800 rpm) by tools with...
Entropy Generation Analysis of Natural Convection in Square Enclosures with Two Isoflux Heat Sources
This study investigates entropy generation resulting from natural convective heat transfer in square enclosures with local heating of the bottom and symmetrical cooling of the sidewalls. This analysis tends to optimize h...
