Abstract In order to study the condensation and heat transfer characteristics of similar microstructure surfaces, two similar microstructure surfaces, cylindrical and circular, were fabricated by femtosecond laser technology on a 0.5 mm silicon wafer. The cylindrical surface is superhydrophobic when the contact angle is more than 150°, and the circular surface is hydrophilic when the contact angle is less than 90°. The difference in condensation heat transfer characteristics between superhydrophobic and hydrophilic microstructures was analyzed, and a visual condensation experimental platform was built. Experimental research showed that: At the same flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient of the superhydrophobic surface and the hydrophilic surface decreases significantly with the increase of the surface subcooling degree, but the heat transfer coefficient of the cylindrical surface is still much larger than that of the circular surface. In addition, the heat transfer performance of the hydrophobic microstructure surface is better than that of the hydrophilic surface at medium and high-speed cooling water flow rates. Although the surface microstructures are similar in shape, the heat transfer performance of cylindrical microstructures is much better than that of circular microstructures under the same conditions, and the heat flux of cylindrical microstructures is 2.2 times that of circular microstructures.

Abstract Projection-based multimodal 3D semantic segmentation methods suffer from information loss during the point cloud projection process. This issue becomes more prominent for small objects. Moreover, the alignment of sparse target features with the corresponding object features in the camera image during the fusion process is inaccurate, leading to low segmentation accuracy for small objects. Therefore, we propose an attention-based multimodal feature alignment and fusion network module. This module aggregates features in spatial directions and generates attention matrices. Through this transformation, the module could capture remote dependencies of features in one spatial direction. This helps our network precisely locate objects and establish relationships between similar features. It enables the adaptive alignment of sparse target features with the corresponding object features in the camera image, resulting in a better fusion of the two modalities. We validate our method on the nuScenes-lidar seg dataset. Our CAFNet achieves an improvement in segmentation accuracy for small objects with fewer points compared to the baseline network, such as bicycles (6% improvement), pedestrians (2.1% improvement), and traffic cones (0.9% improvement).

Abstract Due to the differences in the line resistance of each distributed generation unit, conventional sag control does not allow for precise distribution of power, which also reduces the problem of system reactive power accuracy. To address this problem, this paper analyzes the power equalization and distribution conditions. A method for adaptive adjustment of virtual resistance by system output power feedback is submitted. Reducing the variance among the original line resistances aims to solve the problem of power not being evenly divided and improve the equalization of reactive power. By building a Simulink parallel simulation model of the inverter, it is verified that the power feedback-based fetching and the improved droop control is effective.

Abstract In order to ensure the safe operation of lithium-ion batteries, real-time monitoring of battery status is necessary. The surface strain signal of lithium-ion batteries has the potential to evaluate the battery’s state, but it is significantly affected by temperature. Generally, measuring the battery surface temperature and the thermal expansion coefficient can be performed to quantify and eliminate the influence of temperature on strain, but this increases the cost and complexity of strain measurement. This article proposes a method that eliminates the need to measure the battery temperature and material parameters. By simultaneously measuring the circumferential and axial strains on the battery surface and calculating their difference, the influence of temperature on strain can be minimized. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally tested. Results demonstrate that after applying temperature compensation to commercial lithium-ion batteries, the influence of temperature on strain can be reduced from 16.4 ppm/°C to 1.7 ppm/°C. The strain no longer exhibits sensitivity to current, making it more suitable for evaluating the state of lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract A combined time-series-based regression forecasting and GRA-IPSO-BP structure is proposed to forecast the electricity replacement forecasts using a time series model based on the triple exponential smoothing forecasting method. The forecast results are corrected using the GRA-IPSO-BP structure. The results of the algorithm show that using a combination of time series and GRA-IPSO-BP structure can significantly improve the forecasting accuracy of electricity replacement compared to single-method forecasting.

Abstract Fly ash waste from the Asam-Asam Power Plant in South Kalimantan continues to increase. Various attempts have been made to utilize fly ash waste, among others. as a basic material for making geopolymers. Geopolymer is environmentally friendly because it replaces all cement with high Silica (Si) and Alumina (Al) wastes such as fly ash. This study aims to characterize fly ash as a raw material of geopolymer. Fly ash was filtered using 200 mesh and then heated in an oven at 105°C for 24 hours. The prepared fly ash was then tested for physical properties and compound analysis using XRF, identification of chemical bonds and functional groups using FTIR, morphology, and elements using SEM EDX. Initial and final setting time was investigated using the Vicat apparatus to determine e whether cement is undergoing proper hydration. The results indicated that the fly ash was classified to class F. That was based on the amount of SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3 + Fe 2 O 3 of 85.91%, and the CaO content was less than 10%. Moreover, fly ash’s initial and final setting time was 1072.5 and 3180 minutes, respectively. Fly ash in this research can be used as a raw material for geopolymers.

Abstract This study investigates the structural parameters and the electronic properties of cubic TlGeCl x Br 3-x (x=0,1,2,3) lead-free perovskites to evaluate their potential as absorbers in perovskite solar cell devices. Density Functional Theory (DFT) embedded in the Quantum Espresso code was used to calculate these properties. The results revealed that the compounds have optimized lattice constants of 5.244 Å, 5.336 Å, 5.416 Å, and 5.501 Å, for TlGeCl 3 , TlGeCl 2 Br, TlGeClBr 2 , and TlGeBr 3 perovskites, respectively. In addition, the compounds are direct band gap (R → R) semiconductors with energy gap values of 0.847 eV, 0.683 eV, 0.556 eV, and 0.518 eV for the respective materials. It is important to note that the band gap of the perovskites reduces as a Cl − ion, two and three Cl − ions are replaced by a Br − ion, two and three Br − ions, respectively. The analysis of their projected density of states indicated that near the valence band maximum of the perovskites, Cl-3p and Br-4p states contributes the most to their total DOS. In contrast, the Ge-4p orbital is the most dominant state close to the conduction band minimum. Based on these energy gap values, the studied materials are promising candidates for lead-free perovskite solar cell devices, with TlGeBr 3 projected to be more promising than the other three materials.
