Noble Package 2024
We have already got used to the fact that in late November and early December, our Faculties and PW student residences designate places where donations can be brought in as part of the Noble Parcel. This is also the case this year. The needs do not change either - we are waiting for long-term food, cleaning products, household items such as blankets, towels or bedding. You can also help without leaving your home - through online fundraising. We encourage you to visit the pomagam.pl website and make a donation. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Influence of frequency change during sandstone erosion by pulsed waterjet - Mechatronics Faculty Scientific Seminar, 20.11.2024, 10:30 in Seminar Centre (room 14)
Pulsating water jet technology for rock erosion application has been emphasized in this study. The erosion phenomena are explored as an eroded depth, eroded width and volume eroded of the sandstone at frequency f = 20,000–40,000 Hz by using pulsed water jet. The surface was eroded at pressure 20–40 MPa; standoff distance 20 mm; nozzle diameter 1.6 mm; and feed rate of the jet 125–200 mm/s. The eroded depth, eroded width, and volume of the eroded sections were evaluated through non-contact-type optical profilometer. The result shows the relationship between feed rate of the jet, pressure, and standoff distance, which affects the erosion depth and width and volume removal. At f = 40,000 Hz, the maximum value of erosion depth, width, and volume removal was obtained. The microstructural analysis Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) examined the erosion topography, plastic deformation, and failure analysis at a frequency f = 20,000–40,000 Hz. The results reveal that the frequency change affects erosion, and failure was observed at 40,000 Hz. This is the result of the deeper and narrow eroded surface caused by the enhanced number of impacts (200–320 impact per mm) and concentrated stream of a jet at 40,000 Hz.
