This work focuses mainly on wind energy usage as a renewable source for energy generation in urban environments, where the variability of air current flow is a challenge. One of the main objectives to be achieved in this study is to develop small vertical wind turbines. Design thinking methodology was used to innovative ideas development using the application of concepts from rapid prototyping (additive manufacturing). As a target object to idealize an innovative product, was the providing of a mobile equipment recharging system, using the air current generated by the urban public transport vehicles. As a result, a modular system of small power generation was produced, tested, and validated. The mini-turbine with the best performance in power generation in wind flows lower than 4 m/s was the VAWT, which achieved the smallest difference, 18 % greater. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the installation of small wind turbines in an urbanized area requires a minimum of wind measurements at the exact location to validate the innovative design.

This paper summarizes the experimental investigation of influence of process parameters on surface quality and dimensional accuracy of slots milled in titanium alloy TC4. Samples were milled using a 10 mm HXT coated monolith end mill for HSM milling of superalloys and titanium alloys. Process parameters, such as rotational speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were selected based on the Taguchi L9 method. After machining samples were measured, including surface quality parameters such as roughness, waviness and dimensional deviations. Measurement results indicate that within inspected parameter range rotational speed to feed ratio has a greater influence on surface quality than the depth of cut while having less influence on dimensional accuracy.

The local structure of eutectic F 7 LiNaK (Li-7 enriched, 0.465 7 LiF-0.115NaF-0.42KF) which has potential cooling applications in molten salt reactors (MSR), is studied using neutron diffraction. The nearest neighbor distances and the coordination numbers of constituent ion pairs are derived from the total neutron scattering data using empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) software. A combination of Lennard-Jones and Coulomb 12-6-1 potential (without empirical adjustments) is used that captures the local structure of F 7 LiNaK from simulated 3D atomic configurations. The effect of adding the actinide surrogate cerium on the F 7 LiNaK local structure is also studied using neutron diffraction and EPSR with the same potential model. By comparing the results with previous experimental and computational findings, the effectiveness of EPSR in analyzing complex molten salt structures is demonstrated. The use of EPSR with simple potential models to describe the physical structures of molten salts can offer a computationally efficient approach, reducing both cost and time.
