Abstract: Stiction at the head/disk interface has become one of the major concerns as smoother surfaces are required to achieve lower flying heights of magnetic heads over magnetic disks. In this paper, ...

Abstract: In this paper, we have shown that a perfluoropolyether lubricant after far-UV irradiation treatment proposed by Saperstein and Lin (1990) was strongly bonded to disk surfaces without depletion ...

Abstract: For the development and utilization of geothermal reservoirs, a thorough understanding of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in rock fractures is crucial. The effect of two interacting crossed-rough fractures on ...

Abstract: Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) has challenges of ignition control. In this paper, HCCI ignition timing and combustion rate were controlled by two-stage direct injection (TSDI) ...

Abstract: In this paper, a multimode combustion system was developed in a gasoline direct injection engine. A two-stage fuel-injection strategy, including flexible injection timings and flexible fuel quantity, ...

Abstract: A method of single vertical well combined with hydraulic fracturing is proposed to prevent short circuits and enhance heat mining. The technical and economic feasibilities of geothermal energy exploitation from a deep ...
