Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Silicone Rubber has been widely used to coat porcelain insulator to prevent formation water filming on insulator surface. and RTV silicone rubber has water repellency to suppress leakage current and consequent flashover. RTV silicone rubber's surface has been degradated by outdoor condition such as dust, salt, and water. etc. ESDD(Equivalent Salt Deposit Density) and leakage currents are increased by polymer surface toughness and degradation. In this paper, we investigated relations of surface toughness, ESDD, and leakage currents.

The rotary joint connecting the upper and lower structures of construction machinery and special vehicles transmits hydraulic pressure as the shaft and housing rotate, and multiple seals are assembled to prevent oil leakage into the oil flow channel. Because the seal material is rigid and difficult to assemble, we sought a method to assemble it after cutting. The shapes of the cutting surface are L-shaped and / shaped, and the leakage standard when hydraulic pressure is applied is the contact pressure generated on the cutting surface. The structure and material of the seal are composed of a double elastomer, and nonlinear contact structural analysis is performed when only the high-rigidity PE material is cut. Studies have shown that the shorter the cutting length, the better the leakage prevention and the higher the possibility of leakage to the bottom surface where NBR and PE come into contact rather than the top surface where the PE and the housing come into contact.

Silicone rubber is being used for the housing material of outdoor high voltage insulators such as composite insulator, bushing, surge arrestor and cable terminator because of good tracking and erosion resistance, good hydrophobicity and recovery of hydrophobicity and chemical stability. But, the leakge current occurs on surface of the composite polymeric insulation materials when the insulator is used for a long time with severe contaminative condition and it can lead the contamination flashover. So the leakage current is important to estimate the condition of the silicone rubber surface. In this paper, aging characteristics of silicone rubber used for outdoor insulation have been hydrophobicity of silicone rubber in salt fog chamber with average leakage current monitoring for observing the transformation of surface degradation properties of silicone rubber with different ATH(alumina trihydrate, A1$_2$O$_3$$.$3H$_2$O) filler contents. The experimental results show that a higher peak leakage current and to raise a long time for tracking with increasing amount of ATH by the salt fog and heat recycle ageing.

The present study investigated local heat/mass transfer characteristics on the surface of the rotating turbine blade with various incidence angles. The experiments are conducted in a low speed annular cascade with a single stage turbine. The blade has a flat tip with the mean tip clearance of 2.5% of the blade chord. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to measure detailed mass transfer coefficient on the blade. At design condition, the inlet Reynolds number is $Re_c=1.5{\times}10^5$ which results in the blade rotation speed of 255.8 rpm. Also, the effect of off-design condition is examined with various incidence angles between $-15^{\circ}$ and $+7{\circ}$. The results indicated that the incidence angle has significant effects on the blade surface heat transfer. In mid-span region, the laminar separation region on the pressure side is reduced and the laminar flow region on the suction side shrinks with increasing incidence angle. Near the tip, the effect of tip leakage flow increases in span wise and axial directions as the incidence angle decreases because the tip leakage flow is formed near the suction side surface. However, the effect of tip leakage flow is reduced with positive incidence angle.

In high-voltage devices such as thyristor, beveling is mostly used junction termination method to reduce the surface electric field far below the bulk electric field and to expand the depletion region thus that breakdown occurs in the bulk of the device rather than at the surface. However, coating material used to protect the surface of the device contain so many charges which affect the electrical characteristics of the device. And device reliability is also affected by this charge. Therefore, it is needed to analyze the effect of surface charge on electrical characteristics of the device. In this paper, we analyzed the breakdown voltage and leakage current characteristics of the thyristor as a function of the amount of surface charge density. Two dimensional process simulator ATHENA and two-dimensional device simulator ATLAS is used to analyze the surface charge effects.

In this paper we investigated the relation between the surface degradations and anti-pollution characteristics of Room Temperature Vulcanized(RTV) silicone rubber coating that has different roughness through immersing into saline water. We utilized several analytic techniques such as atomic force microscopy(AFM) scaning electron microscopy(SEM) contact angle Salt Deposit Density(SDD) and average leakage current under the condition of salt fog. It is found that the surface roughness of treated RTV silicone rubber increased and the hydrophobicity of sample surface decreased with increasing the duration o immersion into water due to the erosion of base polymer the melting down alumina trihydrate(ATH) and the diffusion of Low Molecular weight(LMW) fluid. Despite the roughness of surface had been increased by water immersion excellant anti-pollution and recovery characteristics were maintained and SDD saturated to 0.1~0.14mg/cm$^2$. The average leakage current under salt fog increased with surface roughness. Measurement of average leakage current will be helpful to investigate surface degradation and lifetime expectation of RTV silicone coating.

This paper provides the effects on the leakage characteristics of the surface roughness of a valve stem in LPG automotive. The valve stem seal is to stop an oil leakage through a sealing gap between a valve stem and a valve stem seal. The sealing performance of two components is related to a leak safety and a long life of a valve stem and a valve stem seal. The experimental results show that the optimal surface roughness of a valve stem is to recommend as $0.4{\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ in a centerline average roughness, Ra and a uniformly distributed profile of the roughness. Basically the smooth surface and uniform profiles of the roughness may reduce an oil leakage between a valve stem and a valve stem seal.

This paper focuses on the design of microspeakers with minimum flux leakage, for use in radiotelegraphy. The response surface methodology (RSM) is applied as the optimization technique for obtaining a large magnetic force and a small flux leakage on diaphragm. The object functions of this optimization are the magnetic force and the flux leakage along three factors; pole piece thickness, magnet grade and yoke thickness, which are determined by the design of the experiment. The magnetic force and the flux leakage are calculated for each condition and optimized by results evaluated with RSM. For a pole piece thickness of 0.9 mm, a magnet grade of N42H and a yoke thickness of 0.75 mm, the magnetic force is satisfied as initial model and flux leakage is decreased to 11.8% than initial model.
