Authors: Kumar Rajendra , Meena R. K. , Tak Yamini , Chachaiya Praveen Kumar
Published: September 2024

Microbial populations play a very important role to optimize the turnover and recycling of nutrients. Mutualistic symbionts like arbusular mycorrhizal fungi living at the root-soil interfaces, rhizosphere, or may be in the plant-associated soil, are acknowledged as crucial drivers of nutrient cycling. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as natural root symbionts, supply essential plant inorganic nutrients to host plants, enhancing plant growth and yield under both normal and stressed conditions. AMF colonize the roots of agricultural crops and act as ‘biofertilizers and bioprotectors’ in environmentally friendly farming. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize a smaller number of plant species but play an important role in forest ecosystems as symbiotic partners of tree and shrub species.

La prisión provisional es una medida cautelar de notable significación en el proceso penal; su imposición implica la afectación de uno de los derechos fundamentales de la persona: la libertad. Dada la importancia de esta medida y su impacto en la vida del imputado, el control judicial adecuado de su aplicación se convierte en un elemento esencial para garantizar un debido proceso y respetar los derechos del imputado. La Ley del Proceso Penal del 2021, en Cuba, establece una serie de aspectos claves en relación con el control judicial de la medida cautelar de prisión provisional. Uno de los elementos cardinales en este sentido es la proporcionalidad y adecuación de la medida a las circunstancias del caso concreto. Así, el Ministerio Público deberá valorar, al disponer la prisión provisional, si esta medida es la única que asegura la presencia del imputado en el proceso o la protección del orden público, atendiendo siempre a los derechos y garantías constitucionales del individuo. La presente investigación persigue determinar la particularidades de la implementación del control judicial de la medida cautelar de prisión provisional en el actual accionar de los operadores del Derecho Penal, ello, en relación con las disposiciones de la Ley 143/2021. En el desarrollo investigativo se utilizaron como métodos teóricos el inductivo-deductivo, el método de lo abstracto a lo concreto y el análisis-síntesis.

Static Seals for Sealing Hydrogen: A Review
Authors:   The Flexitallic Group, Bond Stephen
Published: September 2024

"Hydrogen has a potentially large role in the future of energy, either as a fuel, as an energy storage vehicle, or both. Based on the amount of research work and government funding in this area, such as the US Government’s pledge of $7 billion for hydrogen hubs, it would be a good assumption that the role of hydrogen is set to grow for the foreseeable future. This is especially the case for so called green hydrogen, where hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water and the electricity used in the electrolysis is from a renewable energy source (e.g., wind, solar). Due to its inherent properties, there has been some concern about the potential for leak-age of hydrogen in this new process industry. This, of course, brings into focus the sealing of static bolted connections, i.e., bolted flange joints. The most common leakage tests for bolted flange connections use either helium (EN13555), methane (ASME B16.20) or nitrogen (DIN 3535), but not hydrogen. There are good reasons for choosing these gasses, particularly helium, which is safe and a small molecule which can be detected and measured by standard equipment such as a mass spectrometer. Other literature has shown that leak rate of different gases cannot be judged and predicted by molecule size alone, therefore the conversion of leak rate using a standard test and test gas cannot be easily converted to a leak rate of hydrogen. Therefore, testing of gaskets with hydrogen has been required to make engineering decisions. This paper will review recent public domain papers on sealing tests using hydrogen, especially those comparing hydrogen sealing rates to helium sealing rates. This paper will also include some recent hydrogen sealing testing commissioned at a third party test house using spiral wound gaskets with different fillers."

The radial shaft seal (RSS) is a widely used machine element to seal lubricants against the environment. For this purpose, the RSS, the shaft surface, and the sealed fluid as well as the operating conditions form a tribological system - the radial-shaft-sealing system. In terms of sustainability and cost efficiency, high expectations are set on the reliability and service life of such sealing systems. Therefore, downtimes due to maintenance or even leakages must be avoided. In particular, the complex interactions between the sealed lubricant and the RSS have a major influence on the long-term reliability and lifetime of a sealing system. It is therefore essential to ensure lubricant-elastomer compatibility under dynamic tribological stress. This can be achieved by dynamic compatibility tests. The post-test analysis of the seal is an essential process to determine the seal condition and therefore how the lubricant affects the seal under tribological stress. Besides other characteristics of the seal, it is of great importance to consider the near-surface material condition. While the seal wear, radial load and interference are measurable continuous values, the seal material condition rating, e.g. softening, hardening and hard deposits is a categorial value based on visual-haptic feedback of the material by seal experts with years of practical experience. Due to the importance of the seal material condition for the reliability of the sealing-system a new tactile seal material characterization method was developed by Freudenberg – “the micro-mechanical seal characterization”. This presentation introduces the new characterization method and its application for the post-test seal analysis. Therefore, the measurement procedure and accuracy will be discussed as well as the characteristic values. Furthermore, it will be shown how those values allow a precise evaluation of the seal material condition regarding hardening, softening and hard deposits.
Optimized rubber gasket with internal force shunt

Published: September 2024

"With the introduction of TA Luft 2021, plant manufacturers and operators have to carry out flange connection calculations according to DIN EN 1591-1, including gasket parameters DIN EN 13555. This will lead to enhanced plant safety and less emissions, however, this also implies the development of optimized gasket materials and design. According to the design-rule “for every functionality, implement a specific feature”, a well-known gasket principle is to put the sealing material in force shunt. This way, the load transfer element and the sealing element are in separate locations, leading to the possibility to optimize them independently. This works already very well for O-Ring seals, spiral-wound gaskets and as well, rubber gaskets with an external force shunt. Due to high manufacturing cost and high mounting effort, these solutions are not widespread in use in the field. A solution to the discussed aspects is the design of a rubber gasket with an internal force shunt. The design* implements a spiral wound metal-wire with indentations. It lies inside the rubber material and thus is enclosed, held by the rubber and is easily and efficiently to produce. The design leads to a unique sealing performance with a very high tightness (L < 10-3 mg/(sm)) even at very low gasket pressures below 2,5 MPa **, no creep relaxation ** (PQR > 0.99) and very high load bearing capacity ** (Qmax > 150 MPa). This enables plant manufacturers and operators to effortlessly • meet the tightness-requirements according to TA-Luft • successfully carry out flange connection calculations for almost any flange type • find suitable mounting torques for the mounting process • minimize leakage due to mounting errors • choose the right gasket material (according to temperature and medium specs) • generally enhance plant safety • and reduce overall in-situ emissions of the plant * design will be shown in detail in full-text ** evidence will be provided in full-text "
Frictional behavior of marine lip seals: Sensitivity to operational parameters
Authors: Morad Omar , Viitala Raine , Saikko Vesa

Marine lip seals are a topic seldom studied in published literature compared with other types of lip seals. Marine lip seals are unique in their harder material compound and larger diameters, in addition to higher operational oil pressures. This paper explores the behavior of marine thruster lip seals with a nominal diameter of 300 mm under normal operating conditions. The counterface is a stainless-steel shaft liner coated with tungsten carbide. The lip seals and counterfaces studied are commonly used in marine applications. A test device was designed and constructed to study the effects of different parameters on the behavior of lip seals, namely the oil temperature, oil pressure, and rotational speed. For each parameter, three values were selected, which totaled 27 parameter combinations per seal, and the sample size was 3. The behavior was characterized by measuring the frictional torque and the subsurface temperature at a given test point for one hour. The measurements for each seal were taken after an initial running in period of at least 100 hours. Air bearings were used to support the seal housing, to allow for a more accurate measurement of the frictional torque. The subsurface temperature was measured 0.5 mm beneath the contact using a wireless temperature probe embedded in the liner. The contact pressure was measured before the start of test sequence and after its completion. The results showed that the speed had the most significant effect on the subsurface temperature, which increased with increasing speed. The oil pressure had the most significant effect on the frictional torque, which increased with increasing pressure. Increasing oil temperature resulted in lower frictional torque and higher subsurface temperature. The peak contact pressure was higher for new seals compared with used seals. This paper demonstrates the sensitivity of the lip seal frictional behavior to the operational parameters.
