Shear instabilities can be the source of significant amounts of turbulent mixing in stellar radiative zones. Past attempts at modeling their effects (either theoretically or using numerical simulations) have focused on idealized geometries, where the shear ...

A continuous production prototype for scaling up the synthesis of a graphene oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (GO/MWCNTs) composite as a hydrogen storage material has been proposed in this study. This prototype consists of an automatic feeding and mixin ...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems are promising approaches for sustainable fuel processing. PEC devices, like conventional photovoltaic-electrolyzer (PV-EC) systems, utilize solar energy for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Contrary to PV-EC syst ...

The manifold microchannel heat sink shows great potential for cooling high-heat-flux electronic equipment owing to its exceptional thermal and flow performance. A new manifold ring-shaped channel design is introduced to improve the temperature uniformity f ...

This study explores the suitability of a basket -based solar cooker for cooking in Uganda, an equatorial country. The solar cooker is designed to be easily constructed and based on recycled and locally available materials. Its performance in terms of cooki ...

Climate change caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions necessitates a transition from fossil resources to greener fuels and chemicals. Hydrogen is a promising green energy vector due to its high gravimetric energy density, its potential use in fue ...

Fossil fuels and materials on Earth are a finite resource and the disposal of waste into the air, on land, and into water has an impact on our environment on a global level. Using Switzerland as an example, the energy demand and the technical challenges, a ...

To answer the growing demand for data computing, data storage and data transmission, the current trend is to construct centralized hyperscale data centers, whose power usage effectiveness (PUE) has substantially improved in recent years. Still, the operati ...

Humanitarian tents provide emergency shelter for people displaced by conflict and disaster in diverse climatic conditions. This article compares the thermal performance of two standard humanitarian tents – the Standard Family Tent (SFT) and the Geodesic Fa ...

The effects of the finite size of the simulation box in equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are investigated for prototypical superionic conductors of different types, namely, the fluorite-structure materials PbF2, CaF2, and UO2 (type II), and the a ...

With a continuously growing share of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources in the power mix, flexibility in hydropower provision is becoming fundamental. The major role played by hydropower in frequency regulation in the last years has underlined the p ...

Electrical energy storage systems are indispensable for the electrical grid with high penetration renewables. Reversible solid-oxide cell stack based power-to-x-to-power systems, which can switch between power generation and power storage, can achieve a hi ...

Formation of a microlayer in nucleate boiling results in substantial changes to the heat-transfer dynamics of the process, and establishing a criterion to distinguish between the microlayer and contact-line regimes encountered is necessary to obtain a quan ...
