The combined methodology, integrating jet impingement and passive heat transfer through the use of roughened surfaces, offers significant potential for improving heat transfer. This research presents the results of an experimental study on a channel flow commonly used for air heating, known as a solar air heater (SAH), with impinging air on the heated surface. The surface is embedded with V-shaped ribs as turbulence promoters, and it receives a continuous heat flow of 1,000 W/m2. Various design combinations were tested experimentally, including streamwise pitch ratio X/Dh = 0.866, spanwise pitch ratio Y/Dh = 0.866, jet diameter to hydraulic diameter ratio Dj/Dh = 0.065, and an angle of attack (α) ranging from 45° to 90°. During these experiments, the Re varied from 3,500 to 18,000. The optimal improvement was observed at values of X/Dh = Y/Dh = 0.866, Dj/Dh = 0.065, and α = 60°. This paper presents novel findings demonstrating that incorporating V-shaped rib patterns in SAHs can yield Nusselt numbers up to 5.2 times higher than those in smooth duct SAHs, offering substantial potential for enhanced energy efficiency. When the entering jet impacts and flows along the ribs of the absorber, the findings suggest that the V-shaped ribs accelerate the flow, resulting in enhanced heat transfer. All datasets were also analyzed for their thermo-hydraulic performance, with the maximum value recorded as 3.301 within the constraint range used in this analysis.KEYWORDS: Jet impingementheat transfercoupled techniqueV-shaped ribsjet diameter Nomenclature STC=Solar thermal collectorSAH=Solar air heaterCp=Specific heat in J/(kg K)Dj=Diameter of the jet in mmΔPd=Pressure drop across the duct in Pascal (Pa)Dh=Hydraulic diameter in mmK=Conductivity of air in W/(m·K)To=Outlet temperature in °CRe=Reynolds numberNu=Nusselt numberNus=Nusselt number for smoothf=Friction factorfs=Friction factor for smoothTi=Inlet temperature in °CTEF=Thermohydraulic performanceV=Velocity of air in m/sX/Dh=Streamwise pitch ratioY/Dh=Spanwise pitch ratioDj/Dh=Jet diameter to hydraulic diameter ratiom˙a=Mass flow rate of air in (kg/s)Greek letters=ρa=Density of airυa=Kinematic viscosity of airDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsYashwant Singh BishtYaswant Singh Bisht is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Uttaranchal Institute of Technology, Uttaranchal University Dehradun, India.

This paper conducts comprehensive research on a master-slave electric-hydraulic hybrid vehicle (MSEHHV). After an integrated driving cycle, the battery state of charge (SOC) values for MSEHHV and electric vehicle (EV) are 44.65% and 38.27%. The economy of the MSEHHV is verified, which is obviously superior to the EV. To further explore the energy conservation potential of the MSEHHV, the research proposes a cooperative optimization method of powertrain parameters and control strategy. Specifically, the optimization objective is to improve SOC. The response surface method (RSM) fits the functional relation between design variables and optimization objective. An optimization model is constructed based on the response surface model. Ultimately, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used for the optimal solution to obtain the optimal parameter combination. To evaluate the adaptability of the method, the performance of three models in the actual driving cycle is compared. Simulation results suggest that the energy consumption of the optimized MSEHHV is 33.41% and 6.33% lower than that of EV and initial MSEHHV. The research provides a valuable reference for the optimal design of electric-hydraulic hybrid technology.KEYWORDS: hybrid electric vehicleelectric-hydraulicparameter optimizationpowertrain componentcontrol strategy Nomenclature EV=HPAHEV=Hybrid electric vehicleEHHV=Electric-hydraulic hybrid vehicleMSEHHV=Master-slave electric-hydraulic hybrid vehicleSOC=State of chargeRSM=Response surface methodPSO=Particle swarm optimization algorithmLHS=Latin hypercube samplingHD=Hydraulic drive modeED=Electric drive modeE-HD=Electric-hydraulic drive modeHRB=Hydraulic regenerative braking modeERB=Electric regenerative braking modeVCU=Vehicle control unitHPA=The high-pressure accumulatorLPA=The low-pressure accumulatorHP/M=Hydraulic pump/motoru=The velocity threshold10-15=Japanese 10-15 mode cycleHWFET=Highway fuel economy testUS06=The US06 supplemental federal test procedureSC03=The SC03 supplemental federal test procedureNEDC=New European driving cycleu1=The low-velocity thresholdu2=The high-velocity thresholdpL=The lowest working pressure of the LPApH=The highest working pressure of the HPAAcknowledgementsThe project is supported partly by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 52075278), and the Municipal Livelihood Science and Technology Project of Qingdao (No. 19-6-1-92-nsh).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [52107220]; Municipal Livelihood Science and Technology Project of Qingdao [19-6-1-92-nsh].Notes on contributorsQingxiao JiaQingxiao Jia is a degree graduate student at the College ","PeriodicalId":11580,"journal":{"name":"Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135900946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing natural waste to generate synthetic fuels represents a viable strategy for improved energy conservation, pollution mitigation, cost-effectiveness, sustainable production, and socio-economic development. Synthetic fuels are gaining global prominence as they reduce crude oil consumption, especially in the transportation and industrial sectors. This research meticulously reviews technologies available for synthesizing fuels from biological waste and enhancing feedstock quality. This study highlights the increasing adoption of algae as a feedstock for biofuel extraction via photobioreactors. Moreover, bioethanol and biobutanol can be derived from grasses through the lignocellulosic process. A pressing concern is the disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW); however, biodiesel ester and biogas can be procured from MSW via transesterification and advanced gasification processes. While refined fuel production offers potential solutions to climate change and resource utilization challenges, specific issues persist. These include high production costs, significant power consumption, extended processing times, and inconsistent feedstock collection. Nonetheless, this study emphasizes the potential of advanced biofuel production from second-generation feedstocks. Such biofuels serve as promising carbon-based chemical sources for industrial and transportation applications, filling gaps left by conventional fuels.KEYWORDS: Synthetic fuelalcohol, Biodieselfeedstockmethanoltransesterification Nomenclature ASTM=American Society for Testing and MaterialsBTU=British Thermal UnitCaO=Calcium OxideCH4=MethaneCO2=Carbon DioxideCO=Carbon MonoxideCI=Compression IgnitionCNG=Compressed Natural GasDB=Diesel-Biodiesel blendFFA=Free Fatty AcidFT=Fischer-Tropsch fuelFAME=Fatty Acids and Methyl EstersH2=HydrogenH2O=WaterH2S=Hydrogen SulphideHCl=Hydrochloric acidH2SO4=Sulphuric AcidIC=Internal CombustionKOH=Potassium HydroxideLPG=Liquefied Petroleum GasMTBE=Methyl Tert-Butyl EtherNH3=AmmoniaNOx=Oxides of NitrogenNaOH=Sodium HydroxideNaOCH3=Sodium MethoxideOECD=Organization for Economic Cooperation and DevelopmentPAH=Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonR&D=Research & DevelopmentDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsShobhit KhannaShobhit Khanna is working as a Senior Education Officer in defence, India and having 13 years of experience in designing and implementing effective training programs and curriculum for various academies that are not just academically rigorous but also attuned to the practical requirements of the real world.

However, the current preparation process leads to a high quinoline-insoluble (QI) content in the MP, limiting its application. Here, we use two-stage thermal treatment to slow the degree of polycondensation during the formation of the MP. The two-stage thermal treatment can facilitate the formation of MP and limit the generation of QI. Moreover, the low content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the liquid by-products indicates that the degree of thermal cracking of the feedstock becomes milder. The high content of cycloparaffins in gaseous by-products is due to the better polycondensation of the feedstock. Therefore, a wide area streamlined MP is prepared, which has a high mesophase content (96.8%), a low QI content (20.6%) and a good crystal structure (Lc = 57.37 Å, N = 17.64, n = 99.53). At last, a possible mechanism of MP sample formation is discussed, which will provide an insight in the optimization of MP preparation process.KEYWORDS: Mesophase pitchfurfural extraction oiltwo-stage thermal treatmentquinoline insoluble substanceGC-MS AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [Grant NO. 22008071].Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [22008071].Notes on contributorsMeiqi WeiMeiqi Wei is a master's student in Chemical Engineering and Technology at East China University of Science and Technology.

Clearance between the stages of a dual-stage two-bladed SAHT was found to improve its performance at low flow speeds; however, the impact of clearance on the triple-bladed configuration of SAHT was not studied earlier. In this paper, a triple blade dual stage configuration of SAHT is designed, and its performance is investigated in a water flume under various stage clearances (0,5,10,15 and 20 mm), low flow speeds (0.45,0.55 and 0.65 m/s) and different brake loads. Detailed turbine performance under different design and off-design conditions are investigated to obtain meaningful performance insights. The findings show that torque production by the turbine increases with the increase of brake load, with maximum hydrodynamic torque generated at the highest brake load. The highest coefficient of performance and torque of 0.071 and 0.261 are obtained at a stage clearance of 5 mm, tip speed ratio of 0.273, and free-stream flow speed of 0.55 m/s. The present SAHT under design condition has improved performance compared to a dual blade dual stage SAHT exhibiting a wider tip speed ratio range for its application in low flow stream reserves. Further, this turbine may also be recommended for torque generation to work as a motor in a flow speed condition less than 0.5 m/s. The novelty of this work is the application of an additional flow control measure in the form of flow-through clearance to negotiate vertical water thrust through the clearance and exert additional pressure on the advancing blades of the SAHT in the upper stage.KEYWORDS: Savonius-alike hydrokinetic turbinebrake loadscoefficient of performanceflow speedstage clearance Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationNotes on contributorsKanak Chandra SarmaMr. Kanak Chandra Sarma, Ph.D scholar of the National Institute of Technology, Silchar, Assam, India and Lecturer (Senior Scale) of Mechanical Engineering at the Silchar Polytechnic College, Assam, India.

We propose the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) combined with NSGA-II to optimize the engine parameters. First, a simulation model of a marine four-stroke dual-fuel engine is established in AVL-BOOST software. Then, control parameters such as engine speed, exhaust valve opening (EVO) and compression ratio (CR) are planned by design of experiments. The response surface model was established in Design-Expert software. The significant influence of control parameters on performance parameters was studied by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Finally, with the output power, indicated fuel consumption rate and nitrogen oxide emissions as the optimization objectives. Non-dominated Sequential Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is used to optimize the parameters to improve engine performance and reduce emissions. The results show that the established response surface model has good prediction accuracy. The response surface model visualizes the mathematical relationship between the control parameters and the optimization targets. The ANOVA results show that engine speed, EVO and CR have significant effects on engine performance and emissions. The optimization results show that the engine speed is 793 rpm, the EVO is 145°CA, and the CR is 12.3.

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","PeriodicalId":11580,"journal":{"name":"Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135949822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
