Purpose: The aim of the article is to check whether there are indications that light waves can be used to monitor fuel quality. Design/methodology/approach: Tests of deposits released in fuels during long-term storage were carried out. The research involved observing with the unaided eye illuminated samples of fuels stored in glass vials. The research was qualitative in nature. Samples of diesel oil, gasoline were tested. The phenomena occurring in materials under the influence of aging processes were determined and the relationships between the tested material, its quality and the impact of light rays on the sample were explained using physic-chemical phenomena. Findings: The novelty of the article is to show that fuels after the storage process can significantly differ in quality from the starting material and that it is possible to monitor fuel quality using spectroscopic methods. Research limitations/implications: The research conducted is qualitative and not quantitative. Practical implications: It is suggested to use methods of continuous monitoring of stored fuels using light spectroscopy methods. Originality/value: It is to show that fuels from one manufacturer and stored in the same tank age at different times. Fuels have different properties and significantly differ in quality compared to the input material. Therefore, there is a real need for continuous monitoring of fuel quality.

The aim of the research was to select a material from which a washer can be made, so that it can be connected to an E355 steel tube by Rotary Friction Welding (RFW). It was decided to choose the steel grade X6CrMo17-1. The numerical model of the RFW process was built using the finite element method (FEM) using the ADINA System software. The numerical model takes into account the friction coefficient with variable values depending on the temperature. Numerical simulations of the process made it possible to determine the temperature fields in the weld cross-section. For the assumed process parameters: rotational speed of 14,000 rpm, friction time of 1.5 s and friction force of 600 N, the peak temperature occurred in the middle of the friction surface at the end of the friction phase and amounted to 1050 C. The results of the temperature analysis are one of the most important parameters for the implementation of subsequent calculations, such as the calculation of structural changes, hardness, residual stresses and deformations.

Due to the high demand for secondary alloys in the automotive and aerospace industry, this work investigates the effect of higher iron content on the quality of AlSi7Mg0.6 sand castings. Secondary-recycled Al-Si alloys contain an increased amount of impurities due to their remelting of scrap metal. One of the most unwanted impurities found in these alloys is iron. Iron leads to the formation of various Fe-rich intermetallic phases, whose morphology influences the mechanical properties even at low Fe content. It also promotes the formation of casting defects, such as porosity and shrinkage. The formation of porosity in secondary Al-alloys is another major aspect that can affect the final properties of castings. Since these materials are mainly used to produce castings for the automotive industry, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, and so on, it is necessary to produce castings without any defects. Therefore, the quality of AlSi7Mg0.6 sand casting is investigated at lower iron content (0.128% wt. Fe) and compared to the higher iron content (0.429% wt. Fe), whereby a correlation between iron content and porosity is monitored.

Od 2018 roku obserwuje się zapaść na rynku surowców objawiający się ograniczoną i niestabilną dostępnością oraz ogólnym wzrostem cen. Dodatkowo Dyrektywy Unii Europejskiej coraz bardziej restrykcyjnie formułują zasady gospodarki odpadami i udziału surowców wtórnych w produktach wprowadzanych na rynek. Odpowiedzią na oba zagadnienia jest zwiększenie udziału recyklingu w procesach produkcyjnych, co w przypadku materiałów niskocząsteczkowych, jak stal, szkło i papier jest już dobrze rozpoznane i wdrożone. Takie praktyki nie stanowią też problemu w przypadku tworzyw termoplastycznych, jak poliolefiny, poliamidy i in. W branży automotive, niezależnie od rodzaju napędu, duży udział w surowcach odpadowych mają też kompozyty i tekstylia. Takie materiały, nie są obecnie recyklowane na szeroką skalę, a odpady z ich zawartością są składowane w glebie lub spalane pirolitycznie z emisją spalin do atmosfery. W artykule przeprowadzono dyskusję o możliwości wdrożenia recyklingu materiałów kompozytowych i tekstylnych w branży automotive oraz przedstawiono próby laboratoryjne obróbki takich surowców odpadowych i wytwarzania kompozytów ze znacznym udziałem recyklatów.

EN

Since 2018, some collapse in the market of raw materials has been observed, which is manifested by limited and volatile availability of products and an overall increase in prices. In addition, European Union Directives more and more restrictively formulate the rules of waste management and the share of secondary raw materials in products placed on the market. The answer to both issues is to increase the share of recycling in production processes, which in the case of low-molecular materials such as steel, glass and paper is already well recognized and implemented. Such practices are also not a problem for thermoplastics such as polyolefins, polyamides, etc. In the automotive industry, regardless of the type of drive, composites and textiles also have a large share in waste materials. Such materials are currently not recycled on a large scale, and the waste with their content is deposited in the soil or pyrolytically burned with the emission of exhaust gases into the atmosphere.

Podobno jedyną pewną rzeczą w życiu jest zmiana. Jeśli jednak chodzi o ideę samochodu - ta przez niemal sto lat skutecznie opierała się temu filozoficznemu stwierdzeniu. Oczywiście mam tu na myśli samą koncepcję pojazdu - czyli silnik spalinowy, skrzynię biegów, hamulce, oświetlenie, siedzenia no i nadwozie. Oczywiście samochód z 1920 i 2020 r., to dwa różne światy, ale ich koncepcja była wciąż ta sama. Co prawda na początku XX w. był moment, kiedy samochód z napędem elektrycznym był traktowany jako konkurencja dla pojazdu spalinowego, jednak problemy z magazynowaniem energii spowodowały, że samochody z napędami elektrycznymi przez wiele, wiele lat pozostawały jedynie techniczną ciekawostką.

Increasing greenhouse gases impose severe concern over the environment resulting in rising dangerous calamities of climate change in the form of floods, etc. Major disadvantages like intermittency of electric vehicles need to be charged after traveling fixed distance. The paper develops an algorithm for a selected industrial electric vehicle to be controlled at different speeds that envisages working on real time Internet of Things (IoT) based Global Po-sitioning System (GPS) signals. It engages the ARM core based STM micro-controller in conjunction with mesh networked Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to govern the operations besides enabling it to be dynamically monitored. The system design considers the vehicle parameters that include the speed of vehicle and the engine, State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) of battery together with real time GPS based navigation system using IoT bundled GPS based maps interface. The methodology involves a closed loop monitoring with specified sequence of steps that augur the system to operate at defined speed over designated work shifts and schedules. The procedure introduces an embedded C environment with a process of unit-testing based simulation to capture the merits of schema in terms of an improved vehicle performance under varying parametric conditions.
