ABSTRACTLoad control and cost optimization are considered to be crucial in tri-generation or combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems. In this study, an inventive CCHP system employs an FC system as its first mover and includes a heat exchanger, a heat recovery, as well as an auxiliary boiler, an electric chiller, and an absorption chiller. The electrical grid is linked to this system. The idea here is to maximize the system’s performance from a financial perspective and to make the annual expenditure of the system minimum over a 20–year period that is considered as the cycle life-span. It is a multi-objective optimization problem which is optimized using a newly introduced metaheuristic optimization method and a Fractional-order future search optimizer. The findings of this study are used to divine an ideal configuration of the CCHP. Finally, to demonstrate the higher efficiency of the suggested method, a comparison should be conducted among the optimization results of the fractional-order-based future search algorithm, the results of Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and standard future search algorithms in previous studies. Based on the results presented, the proposed Fractional-order Future Search Algorithm (FOFSA) was able to optimize the performance of a PEMFC-based CCHP system more effectively than conventional methods. The system’s exergy efficiency was found to decrease from 52% at 793 mA/cm2 current density to 36% at 1000 mA/cm2 current density. However, with the application of FOFSA, the suggested optimal system had a higher exergy efficiency of 41.6% and a yearly cost of $2765, resulting in the maximum annual greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of 4.48E6 g. Therefore, in summary, the proposed FOFSA yielded an optimized CCHP system configuration that had higher energy efficiency, lower annual cost, and reduced GHG emissions. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the FOFSA method in optimizing the performance of PEMFC-based CCHP systems.KEYWORDS: Combined heatingcoolingand power cycle; proton exchange membranefuel cell; economic performanceannual cost; fractional-order future search algorithm Nomenclature Symbol=ExplanationCCHP=Combined cooling, heating, and powerNSGA-II=Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm IIFOFSA=Fractional-order Future Search AlgorithmGHG=Greenhouse gasIMPO=Improved marine predators optimizerPROX=Preferential oxidationPCM=Phase change materialDAC=Desiccant air conditioningHX=Heat-exchangerMEA=Membrane-electrode assemblyNs=The connected cells’ quantityEN=The open-circuit Nernst relation (V)Vloss=The overall voltage loss (V)Vcon=Concentration loss (V)Vact=Activation loss (V)VΩ=Ohmic loss (V)EN=The stack output voltage (V)E0=The open-circuit voltage of the cell (V)F=The Faraday’s constant (C/mol)R=The universal gas constant (J/mol.K)T=The operating temperaturePO2=The partial pressure of O2 (Pa)PH2=The partial pressure of H2 (Pa)PH2Oc=The partial pressure of steam (Pa)Rhc=The vapor re

ABSTRACTSolar air heating system plays an important role in industries. However, in the solar air heating system efficiency considered as important parameters of the solar thermal systems, in particular, the solar air heaters (SAHs) system efficiency is quite low because of the inherent properties of air. The inherent properties include the formation of viscous sublayer, poor heat carrying capacity, etc. The active and passive approaches have been conceded to lessen this problem. The most promising approach is passive because of hassle-free operations. The best passive approaches have been placing ribs, baffles, fins, winglets, etc., on the heat-absorbing surface of SAHs to break the viscous sublayer and promote turbulence. In the present study, various ribs and baffles profiles have been summarized so that they can be used for future research. Along with that, this paper mainly focuses on the need for solar air heating for industrial applications. The performance of SAHs in terms of thermo-hydraulic performance (THP) and thermal and effective efficiencies has been studied and compared for ribs and baffles. Use of fins on the absorber plate and different surface geometries of the absorber plate enhanced the rate of heat transfer during the sunshine hours and use of phase change material for the supply of heat energy during off-sunshine hours. As a result, maximum thermal efficiency of SAHs having ribs, baffles and fins has been found to be 81.9% but the effective efficiency is 28.3% because of large friction factor. Solar air heaters mainly gain popularity in the wide range of industrial applications.KEYWORDS: Bafflesribscorrelationsthermal and effective efficiencythermohydraulic performance Nomenclatures Ap=Area of absorber plate (m2)Cp=Specific heat of air at bulk mean temperature.

ABSTRACTMicroencapsulated phase change material (MPC) slurry is created by combining phase change material with a carrier fluid that has superior heat transfer properties compared to ordinary water. MPC slurry is conventionally investigated as heat storage and working fluid in a variety of applications to reduce power consumption. This study numerically investigates the impact of several critical parameters on the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of MPC slurry in a circular pipe, using Eulerian–Eulerian model. The right triangle curve, one of equivalent specific heat model (ESHM), was applied to evaluate the influence of different critical variable values specified as Tin = 305 K, qwall = −125~−200 kW/m2, αv = 0~15%, Re = 6290~13838, and D = 10~25 mm. The results show that increasing the velocity develops local HTC and reduce the rate of heat transformation. Phase change processing takes roughly twice as long at 1.1 m/s as at 0.5 m/s. Additionally, the results demonstrate that a high concentration of MPC slurry is advantageous for energy storage, as the temperature of MPC slurry is maintained over a considerable distance in cooling conditions. At a velocity of 0.8 m/s, the outlet bulk temperature of MPC slurry at various concentrations is 2–6 K higher than that of water. Furthermore, the evaluation reveals that the HTC was largely determined by pipe size, which was the primary factor. The findings of this study are useful for optimizing energy systems that require thermal energy management.KEYWORDS: Microencapsulated phase change materialEulerian–Eulerian modelflow characteristicsequivalent specific heat modelCFD Nomenclatures A=interfacial area, m2cp=specific heat capacity, KJ/kg KD=diameter of the pipe, mmh=heat transfer coefficient, kW/m2 KK=thermal conductivity, W/m KLH=latent heat, J/kgP=pressure, PaQ=heat flux, kW/m2Re=Reynolds numberT=temperature, Kv=velocity, m/sZ=length along the pipe, mSubscripts = b=bulk MPC slurryl=liquid phasem=massp=MPC particles=solid phasesl=phases interactionw=carrier fluid (water)Greek letters=α=volume fractionμ=viscosity, N/m2 sρ=density, kg/m3Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTDecarbonizing district heating requires utilization of low-emitting energy sources. However, earlier studies did not fully consider the district heating potential and CO2 reduction impacts of limited biomass sources. This study presents a new model that examines the potential for utilizing biomass straw sources as fuel for biomass boilers and thermal power plants, with a case study conducted in Heilongjiang Province, China. Results from the model show that the available biomass straw supply increases from 83,799 kilotons to approximately 127,939 kilotons before declining to around 90,000 kilotons. By employing biomass straw as fuel for district heating, an area between 99.4 and 469.8 million m2 can be served by biomass boilers and thermal power plants, leading to CO2 emission reductions ranging from 15.21 to 30.41 million tons. This reduction represents 19–38% compared to the initial CO2 emissions, indicating potential positive carbon reduction benefits. The developed model can be useful for policy makers and industry stakeholders seeking efficient strategies for decarbonizing district heating.KEYWORDS: CO2 emissionsbiomass energycrop strawdistrict heatingHeilongjiang AcknowledgementsThis work is supported financially by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 62276080).Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.Data availability statementThe data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [No. 62276080].Notes on contributorsCun WeiCun Wei, Certified Energy Manager by the American Association of Energy Engineers, currently pursue his PhD degree in Energy Engineering field at Harbin Institute of Technology.

ABSTRACTInstead of using canola purelines, the use of other species in genus Brassica will be a novel concept to obtain sustainable biodiesel production. This study compares the crude oil percentage, fatty acid composition, and biodiesel characteristics of spring and autumn sown Brassica juncea, B. rapa ssp. oleifera, Sinapis alba, B. nigra purelines appropriateness for biodiesel production. The results indicated that crude oil percentage and fatty acid composition are significantly affected by an interaction between years × genotypes. The crude oil percentage in all species in genus Brassica changed between 14.31 and 30.46% in spring crops and 22.29 and 36.88% in autumn crops. Erucic acid (C22:1; 10.2–42.8%), oleic acid (C18:1; 14.2–34.9%), and linoleic acid (C18:2; 6.8–25.1%) were identified as major fatty acids in all genotypes. Technical features of biodiesel produced by transesterification of species in genus Brassica oil such as acid value (0.18–0.50 mg KOH g−1), water content (110–480 mg kg−1), iodine value (97.30–119.89 g iodine 100 g−1), cold filter plugging point (−5–5°C), flash point (170–205°Ϲ), and glyceride (0.003–0.46% mm−1). These values indicated that regardless of the time of sowing, these lines are appropriate for biodiesel production in accordance with the TS EN 14,214 standards. Br2 (B. rapa ssp. oleifera) autumn and Bj3 (B. juncea) spring crops are preferable compared to other genotypes to achieve higher yield and quality. Therefore, these genotypes are recommended for further evaluation and sustainable biodiesel production.KEYWORDS: Biofuel technical featureBrassica junceaB. nigraB. rapa ssp. oleiferacrude oil percentagefatty acidSinapis alba AcknowledgementsThe author wishes to thank the DB Agricultural Energy to which determines crude oil percentage, fatty acid component, and biodiesel technical properties in its laboratory, to the entire project team for their contribution, and to Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood Khawar (Department of Field Crops, Ankara University, Turkey) for support in the preparation of the article.

Technical features of biodiesel produced by transesterification of species in genus Brassica oil such as acid value (0.18–0.50 mg KOH g−1), water content (110–480 mg kg−1), iodine value (97.30–119.89 g iodine 100 g−1), cold filter plugging point (−5–5°C), flash point (170–205°Ϲ), and glyceride (0.003–0.46% mm−1). These values indicated that regardless of the time of sowing, these lines are appropriate for biodiesel production in accordance with the TS EN 14,214 standards. Br2 (B. rapa ssp. oleifera) autumn and Bj3 (B. juncea) spring crops are preferable compared to other genotypes to achieve higher yield and quality. Therefore, these genotypes are recommended for further evaluation and sustainable biodiesel production.KEYWORDS: Biofuel technical featureBrassica junceaB. nigraB. rapa ssp. oleiferacrude oil percentagefatty acidSinapis alba AcknowledgementsThe author wishes to thank the DB Agricultural Energy to which determines crude oil percentage, fatty acid component, and biodiesel technical properties in its laboratory, to the entire project team for their contribution, and to Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood Khawar (Department of Field Crops, Ankara University, Turkey) for support in the preparation of the article.

ABSTRACTThe shale gas resources found in deep formations are abundant and represent a crucial area for current and future shale gas development. However, as shale gas exploration and development intensify in China, an increasing number of high-temperature formations are being encountered during drilling, presenting significant challenges to drilling engineering and severely constraining the development of deep shale gas exploration. In this study, the stability of PCM (phase change material) combined with drilling fluid as a coolant was discussed, and the influence of PCM on wellbore temperature field in drilling fluid was considered. A calculation model of temperature field of drilling fluid containing PCM was established, the cooling characteristics of PCM under the influence of different parameters were simulated, and the cooling effect of PCM integrated with drilling fluid on ultra-deep and high-temperature Wells was analyzed. The investigated PCM has a phase change temperature range of 120 ~ 130°C and a latent heat of 264.15 ~ 265.53 kJ/kg. Our results showed that the cooling impact of PCM exhibits an upward trend as the quantity of PCM utilized increases. Assuming the drilling temperature limit is 135°C, after adding 5% PCM to the drilling fluid, the drilling length of the horizontal section increased by approximately 500 m. With 15% PCM added, the horizontal section could be extended by about 1000 m. We conducted a simulation analysis on a well in southern Sichuan, and found that adding 12% PCM had the best cooling effect, reducing the bottom hole temperature by 12.3°C and extending the horizontal section by 700 m. Compared with conventional drilling fluid cooling methods, incorporating PCM as cooling agents within the drilling fluids provided better cooling effects. It effectively addressed the problem of excessive bottom-hole temperatures in deep wells, extended the drilling length of horizontal sections, and prolonged the service life of downhole instruments. Our research lays the groundwork for the future investigation of cooling techniques for high-temperature deep well drilling fluids.KEYWORDS: Drilling fluidtemperature distributionPCM (phase change material)long horizontal wellshigh temperature well cooling Nomenclature c=specific heat capacity, J/(kg·℃)t=time, sz=well depth, mh=Convective heat transfer coefficient, W/(m2·℃)L=latent heat of phase transition, kJ/kgq=volume flow rate of drilling fluid, m3/sQm=internal heat source, W/m3Qa=heat source inside the drill string, W/m3r=radius, mT=temperature,°CTm=phase transition temperature,°CΔT=Phase transition temperature interval,°CGreek Symbols=λ=thermal conductivity, W/(m·℃)ρ=density, kg/m3Subscripts=0.1.2.3.4.i=regions of fluid in drill string, drill string wall, fluid in annulus, borehole wall and formation, respectivelyi=i th layer in the radial directionj=j th layer in the axial directiong=before phase transformation f=at phase transitiony=after phase transformationz=at z position

ABSTRACTDue to different financial restrictions, extending the existing power grid to remote locations like desert camps is not practically possible, forcing the camp owner to utilize expensive and ecologically hazardous diesel generators (DiG). In this regard, renewable sources based hybrid microgrid could be a viable approach toward reliable and sustainable electrification of these desert camps. However, optimum designing and proper energy management of such a system can be a challenging task. In these terms, this study presents a novel model based on the multi-objective PSO (MOPSO) algorithm for optimal design and energy management of a hybrid microgrid employing solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT), battery, and DiG for electrification of Thar desert camp in Jaisalmer, India. To address techno-eco-environmental aspects, objectives such as Dump Energy (DE), Installation and Operation Cost (IOC), and Reduction of Pollutant Emission (RPE) are considered. The optimal configuration of PV, WT, battery, and DiG are determined based on the maximization of RPE and minimization of both DE and IOC. The proposed model is formulated taking into account the seasonal load variation of a typical camp and the stochastic behavior of renewable energy sources. Moreover, electric vehicles (EVs) charging facility for the tourists staying in these camps is also included while modeling the microgrid system. Furthermore, three distinct system configurations are carefully analyzed over a 10-year period based on technical, environmental and economic indicators. The optimum configuration obtained is the hybrid PV/WT/DiG/battery system with 62 kW PV, 76 kW WT, 350 kWh battery and a 117 kW DiG. According to simulation findings, this system has an operational cost of 323.7 × 104 $ and a pollutant emission of 2034.3 tons, which is 33.67% and 63.32% less than that of the DiG-only configuration, respectively. Moreover, as compared to PV/WT/DiG system, PV/WT/DiG/battery system can reduce dump energy by 81.40%, highlighting the necessity of battery for fully utilizing renewable energy. Overall, this analysis suggests that the utilization of renewable energy sources along with the battery is the optimal planning solution for the camp owner to maximize their potential benefits. Moreover, the proposed technique can be effectively used to optimally design hybrid renewable energy system for other remote locations.KEYWORDS: Hybrid microgrid systemelectric vehiclesrenewable energy sourcesbattery storage systemdesert campmulti-phase planning Nomenclature Nmod=Number of PV modulesFF=Fill factorV; I=Voltage/Current of PV module.VMPP; IMPP=Voltage/Current at maximum power pointV0; IS=Open circuit voltage/Short circuit currentKI; KV=Temperature coefficient of current/voltageTC=PV cell TemperatureT; T0=Ambient/Nominal operating temparaturePtPV=Power output of PV at tth timePsssi=PV power at sith state of solar irradiancePrated=Rated power of WTvws=Wind Speedvci; vr; vco=Cut-in/rate

ABSTRACTFeAlSiO4 -H3 and ZnAlSiO4-H1 are synthesized through the facile method without an autoclave. Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is a structure-directing agent. FT-IR, XRD, BET, TPD, TGA, and TEM confirmed the framework, crystallinity, porosity, acidity, thermal stability (above 600°C), and surface morphology respectively. BET analysis revealed that two distinct pore widths (FeAlSiO4-H3: 13.79 nm, ZnAlSiO4-H1: 11.65 nm) are based on the metal ion substitution The acidity (FeAlSiO4 -H3:6.576 and ZnAlSiO4-H1:13.836 cm3/g STP). In ZnAlSiO4 – H1, 7 template molecules form a linear complex with 6 Zn2+ions which is oriented vertically to create cylindrical pores. In FeAlSiO4-H3, 8 template molecules are formed a linear complex with 7 Fe2+ which is positioned in a cross-sectional way to produce slit pores. The catalytic cracking of polypropylene has been carried out over FeAlSiO4 and ZnAlSiO4 and observed that the conversion is 100%. H3 type pore has produced higher selectivity of jet fuel (90%) than the H1 type pore (86%) at 0.5 g catalyst dosage. In addition to that, H3 type has produced diesel (3.8%) and H1 type has produced petrol (10.1%) as a minor product. The synthesized aviation fuels are equivalent to JET A-1 fuel and are characterized by FT-IR, HPLC, and GC-MS.KEYWORDS: Waste plasticH3 and H1 pore typemetal ion-TEPA orientationpore mechanismhydrocarbon Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15567036.2023.2275711Additional informationNotes on contributorsSenthurselvi SSenthurselvi S, a Research scholar in the Department of Chemistry at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli.
