Abstract In recent years, up-conversion luminescence nanoparticles have attracted significant attention from researchers in fields such as analytical chemistry (for example qualitative and quantitative analysis of metal and non-metal ions) and biomedicine (cancer imaging, drug delivery, treatment, etc.) due to their high rate of emission efficiency, easy surface functionalization, great chemical and thermal and photostability and other favorable properties. NaYF 4 in particular has attracted interest of researchers as a host material due to its low phonon energy, thus increasing the efficiency of emission. In this study, the synthesis of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ nanocrystals using the hydrothermal method was successfully carried out. Refined sunflower oil containing oleic acid was used as a solvent instead of analytical grade oleic acid and octadecene-1, reducing the cost of the synthesis. Using semi-quantitative XRD measurement analysis, it was determined that 25.3 % hexagonal β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ as well as 23.8 % cubic α-NaYF 4 nanocrystal crystalline phases were found in the synthesized sample. The sample showed mainly luminescent characteristics typical of hexagonal NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ lattice nanoparticles.

Abstract The existing European Union (EU) natural gas network provides large capacity to integrate renewable (RGs) and low-carbon gases. Today, hydrogen contributes only a few percent to Europe’s energy consumption and is almost exclusively produced from fossil fuels and used in the industry. Nevertheless, hydrogen has a significant role to play in emission reduction in hard-to-decarbonize sectors, in particular, as a fuel in transport applications and as a fuel or feedstock in certain industrial processes (steel, refining or chemical industries, the production of “green fertilizers”). Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in reaction with hydrogen can also be further processed into synthetic fuels, such as synthetic kerosene in aviation. In addition, hydrogen brings other environmental co-benefits when used as fuel, such as the lack of air pollutant emissions. However, in transitional phase from fossil to RG, namely, renewable or green hydrogen, natural gas/biomethane and hydrogen blends, are needed to gradually replace natural in existing gas transmission and distribution networks. The gas networks are believed to be able to use natural gas/biomethane and hydrogen blends with 5–20 % of hydrogen by volume. Most systems and applications are able to handle it without a need for major infrastructure upgrades or end-use appliance retrofits or replacements. The promotion of hydrogen network such as European Hydrogen backbone (EHB) is gaining momentum in Europe. To decarbonize the natural gas grids, the threshold of hydrogen in the existing grid systems must be increased, which can be done by means of wider natural gas/biomethane and hydrogen blending and simultaneous transportation in currently operational gas networks.

Abstract Near–dry machining and dry machining lead to increased temperature of the cutting tools. To reduce tool wear and extend the tool lifetime, and, eventually, to keep the accuracy of manufactured parts within acceptable limits as long as possible, a sustainable cooling technique is required. The technology of internal cooling of the cutting tool appears to be the most promising, because it allows eliminating the presence of the coolant on the manufacturing part and delivers the heat–transferring fluid to the very cutting area of the tool. This paper provides a literature review on the closed–loop internally cooled cutting tools (CLICCT) for turning. The current level of knowledge and experimental machining with prototypes has proven that CLICCT can utilize the benefits of dry cooling, having a longer tool life.

Abstract Optical thermometers are advantageous for temperature measurement in electromagnetic fields and aggressive environments; however, their composition mostly relies on materials doped with expensive and resource-limited rare earth ions. In this article, we describe the application of calcium aluminate doped with transition metal ions (Mn 2+ and Cr3+) in optical thermometry, employing optical fibres for signal transmission. Upon excitation with 450 nm laser diode radiation, changes in the luminescence of Mn 2+ ions in the 500–550 nm band are followed along with changes in the Cr 3+ band at 750–800 nm. The application has been tested in the temperature range from 20 °C to 800 °C. The temperature dependence of Cr 3+ luminescence encompasses the high-temperature range, whereas the luminescence band of Mn 2+ ions gives an increase in the total intensity and provides a more consistent change in the range from 400 °C to 550 °C.

Abstract This article evaluates the feasibility of using electrode boiler in grid ancillary services and district heating scenarios. Electrode boilers in the context of electricity grid management can be considered as a relatively new technology. This study assesses the technical and economic viability of electrode boiler by considering various factors such as energy demand, technical feasibility, economic viability, and regulatory market conditions. The simplified mathematical model has been developed for simulation of electrode boiler use for grid services and heat production. The results have shown that electrode boiler have the potential to be a cost-effective solution for heating and grid balancing services in certain scenarios. However, it may not be applicable or economically viable in all situations or regions; thus, further research and development is needed to fully realize their potential.

Abstract The article presents a hydraulic hydrogen compression solution designed to serve as a booster compressor. It can be adapted to changing parameters of the inlet pressure of hydrogen and allows stabilising the hydrogen accumulation process in the high-pressure storage. The main results of this study were obtained using a numerical model developed to explore the thermodynamic processes that occur during the hydraulic compression of hydrogen. The modelling was carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics® 6.0 software with the CFD and heat transfer modules. The compression chamber in the form of a cylinder with a volume of 1.14 l and wall thickness of 5 mm was used in the computational model. The aim of these simulations was to investigate the temperature change limits of hydrogen, cylinder walls and working fluid, as well as to estimate the actual value of pressure inside the cylinder. The considered process of pressure increase in the cylinder chamber was modelled as a continuous change of volume filled with working fluid with discrete time step of 0.01 s, taking into account the increase of temperature inside the cylinder. The derived modelling results for different durations of compression stroke ts from 0.5 to 20.0 s were presented. The curves of energy consumption and temperature rise during the compression process were calculated for initial hydrogen pressures P1 = 3.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0 MPa and compression ratio Kc = 5.0. The results of simulation of thermodynamic processes and their analysis allowed estimating energy consumption in the system of hydraulic compression and determining conditions which would lead to the increase in efficiency of hydrogen compression operation systems under consideration.

Abstract The present paper provides the dependence of the temperature change on time and the depth of the soil massif based on numerical calculations. Mathematical modelling of the one-dimensional soil temperature field via an algorithm and a PC program is carried out without taking into account the influence of the phase transition of moisture in the soil pores during seasonal freezing and thawing using the finite difference method. The amplitude of fluctuations in the temperature regime is obtained as that decreases with depth from the soil surface. It is established that over time heat spreads from the pipeline to the surface of the soil, and over time more intense heating occurs both near the pipeline and in the body of the soil massif.

Abstract This paper presents an adaptive transmission line fault location method, which incorporates fault location devices at both line ends and utilises data import from a supervisory control and data acquisition system without strictly requiring data synchronisation. The developed method aims at achieving a higher degree of robustness, adaptiveness and accuracy. The adaptiveness is achieved by dynamic updating of mathematical models used on the basis of network-wide information, such as data on the state of circuit-breakers and apparent power at load and generation nodes. The robustness and accuracy are enhanced by incorporating two stages of identification of model parameters with the goal of reducing the decision variable space for the stage identifying fault parameters. Furthermore, in addition to utilisation of all measurements available at a particular substation, the developed method partially employs the measurements from the other end of the line by means of result cross-checks, but does not require a full data set, unlike deterministic-model-based methods. An optimisation-based approach, redundancy on the basis of extended measurement set, and cross-checks reduce the risk of fault location errors due to measurement errors or “voids” in the data available. Testing of the developed method demonstrates its accuracy and robustness in a wide range of pre-fault and fault regime scenarios, even when considering various pre-fault contingencies.

Abstract Uranium is characteristic lithospheric component and is found nearly in all kinds of soils and waters; in any case, its quantity changes from water-to-water contingent on their cause. Subsequently, in the current investigation, the concentration of uranium in groundwater tests was estimated utilizing LED fluorimeter and the related health hazards appraisal was checked. The concentration of uranium ranges from 0.5 to 10.7 μg L−1 with average value of 2.76 μg L−1. The excess cancer hazard was seen in the scope of 1.416×10−6 – 30.309×10−6 with an average of 7.804 ×10−6. This mean estimation of the excess cancer risk in the Kanchipuram locale is less than the greatest adequate degree of l.67 × 10−4 as per AERB (2004). Consequently, there is no hurtful impact to the neighbourhood individuals who are devouring the water in the examination zone. The average cancer mortality and grimness chances were determined to show that the probability of cancer-causing chances related to water test and significant health was evaluated utilizing hazard quotient from chemical harmfulness of uranium. The values watched for hazard quotient in all areas in the examination are beneath the edge estimation of 1, as recommended by USEPA. This shows that there are no unsafe impacts on the nearby individuals in the investigation zone.
