According to the report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), active space cooling and air conditioning systems consume approximately 16% of the building sector’s final electricity consumption and contribute 3.94% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, the use of low-cost but effective passive solutions, such as organic phase change materials (PCM) on the building envelope, can provide high thermal mass and thus can lower the temperature fluctuation inside the building. In the current study, the potential of PCM-enhanced building envelopes to enhance thermal comfort has been studied. The study has been performed using the conduction finite difference (ConFD) algorithm in EnergyPlus software. A comparative study has been done for a traditional reinforced cement concrete (RCC) reference test room of size (5m x 6m x 3m) and another room of the same size with PCM-enhanced walls for the hot and humid climate zone of Guwahati (latitude 26.1, longitude 91.7), in India. A PCM thickness of 20 mm is used at the external surface of the wall between the red clay burnt brick (120 mm in thickness) and the cement plaster (25mm thick). The PCM used for the study is a biocomposite PCM, named WH-PCM, with a melting point of 31.5°C and thermal conductivity of 0.27 W/mK. The simulation results reveal that the R-value of the external wall of the room with PCM walls has been increased by 84.90% compared to the reference room with the incorporation of WH-PCM, resulting in a mean zone temperature difference of 0.3°C throughout the year. Also, the indoor thermal discomfort hours have been annually reduced by 15.82% with the use of WH-PCM when compared with the reference room. A similar temperature difference trend, which is 1.93°C, is also observed in the single PCM brick experimental result under identical testing conditions as a regular brick of the same size.
根据国际能源机构(IEA)发布的报告,主动式空间冷却和空调系统消耗的电力约占建筑部门最终电力消耗的 16%,并造成 3.94% 的全球温室气体排放。在这方面,使用低成本但有效的被动式解决方案,如在建筑围护结构上使用有机相变材料 (PCM),可以提供较高的热质量,从而降低建筑物内的温度波动。本研究对 PCM 增强型建筑围护结构在提高热舒适度方面的潜力进行了研究。研究使用 EnergyPlus 软件中的传导有限差分 (ConFD) 算法进行。在印度古瓦哈提(纬度 26.1,经度 91.7)炎热潮湿的气候区,对一间传统的钢筋水泥混凝土(RCC)参考试验室(5 米 x 6 米 x 3 米)和另一间相同大小的 PCM 增强墙体试验室进行了比较研究。在红粘土烧砖(120 毫米厚)和水泥抹灰(25 毫米厚)之间的墙壁外表面使用了 20 毫米厚的 PCM。研究中使用的 PCM 是一种生物复合 PCM,名为 WH-PCM,熔点为 31.5°C,导热系数为 0.27 W/mK。模拟结果表明,与使用 WH-PCM 的参考房间相比,使用 PCM 墙壁的房间外墙的 R 值提高了 84.90%,全年平均区域温差为 0.3°C。此外,与参考房间相比,使用 WH-PCM 的室内热不适时间每年减少 15.82%。在与相同尺寸的普通砖相同的测试条件下,单块 PCM 砖的实验结果也出现了类似的温差趋势,即 1.93°C。

The hierarchical 3D nanostructured NiCo2O4 was successfully synthesized through facile hydrothermal method for fuel cell electrocatalysis. It was observed that the specific surface area of NiCo2O4 was strongly influenced by the synthesizing parameters namely temperature (T) and reaction time (t) in hydrothermal process. A high specific surface area in electrocatalyst materials is crucial for maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of electrochemical reactions by providing more active sites, improving reactivity, enhancing mass transport, and reducing the utilization of expensive catalyst materials. The response surface method (RSM) coupled with central composite design (CCD) was utilised to statistically specify the effects of the reaction time and temperature on the specific surface area of the synthesized NiCo2O4. The optimum synthesize parameters of T = 188.41 °C and t = 12.86 hours were performed to obtain the highest specific surface area of 166.98 m2 g-1 which demonstrated the RSM was an excellent tool to implement and tailor the specific surface area of NiCo2O4. Finally, a mathematical model was derived to predict the relationship between these parameters and the structural properties. This study proved that the optimum hydrothermal parameters improved the final electrocatalyst structures based on numerical analysis and validated by the observation from field emission scanning electron microscopy and calculation from Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurement.
通过简便的水热法成功合成了用于燃料电池电催化的分层三维纳米结构镍钴氧化物。研究发现,NiCo2O4 的比表面积受水热过程中温度(T)和反应时间(t)等合成参数的影响很大。电催化剂材料的高比表面积可提供更多的活性位点、提高反应活性、增强质量传输和减少昂贵催化剂材料的使用,从而最大限度地提高电化学反应的效率和效果。本研究采用响应面法(RSM)和中心复合设计法(CCD)统计了反应时间和温度对合成镍钴氧化物比表面积的影响。在 T = 188.41 °C 和 t = 12.86 小时的最佳合成参数下,获得了 166.98 m2 g-1 的最高比表面积,这表明 RSM 是实现和定制镍钴氧化物比表面积的绝佳工具。最后,还得出了一个数学模型来预测这些参数与结构特性之间的关系。这项研究基于数值分析证明了最佳水热参数改善了最终的电催化剂结构,并通过场发射扫描电子显微镜观察和布鲁瑙尔-艾美特-泰勒(BET)测量计算进行了验证。

The presence of water, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia, oxygen, nitrogen, and siloxanes in biogas is not desirable for thermal and electrical applications through the engine route. H2S adversely affects engines and fuel cells by causing corrosion on metal components, poisoning catalytic converters, and accelerating wear and tear, compromising performance and longevity. To meet specific quality requirements for diverse applications such as heating, combined heat and power generation, vehicle fuel, and fuel cells, biogas must undergo cleaning and upgrading processes. Using biochar to remove H2S in biogas is a comparatively new technique and can be a promising option for small-scale, decentralized units. Current research primarily investigates the potential of biochar derived from coconut husk (CH) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) for effectively removing H2S from raw biogas within an experimental framework. The selection of a composite material consisting of equal parts CH and SB was based on available literature and material accessibility. The integrated methodology provided comprehensive insights into the performance of biochars in biogas purification. Morphological analysis elucidated the role of pore structure in facilitating H2S removal, while CHNS analysis highlighted the influence of elemental composition on biochar reactivity. Additionally, pH studies underscored the potential for biochar application to mitigate biogas acidity. According to the findings, the biochar from the combination of CH and SB exhibited a removal efficiency of 77.60% for H2S in raw biogas.
沼气中含有水、硫化氢 (H2S)、氨、氧、氮和硅氧烷,这对于通过发动机途径进行热能和电力应用是不可取的。H2S 会对发动机和燃料电池造成不利影响,如腐蚀金属部件、毒害催化转换器以及加速磨损,从而影响性能和使用寿命。为了满足供热、热电联产、汽车燃料和燃料电池等各种应用的特定质量要求,沼气必须经过净化和升级过程。使用生物炭去除沼气中的 H2S 是一项相对较新的技术,对于小规模的分散式装置来说是一种很有前景的选择。目前的研究主要是在实验框架内,调查从椰子壳(CH)和甘蔗渣(SB)中提取的生物炭有效去除原料沼气中 H2S 的潜力。根据现有文献和材料的可获得性,选择了由等量的 CH 和 SB 组成的复合材料。该综合方法为生物沼气净化中生物沼渣的性能提供了全面的见解。形态分析阐明了孔隙结构在促进 H2S 去除方面的作用,而 CHNS 分析则强调了元素组成对生物炭反应性的影响。此外,pH 值研究强调了生物炭在减轻沼气酸度方面的应用潜力。研究结果表明,CH 和 SB 组合产生的生物炭对原料沼气中 H2S 的去除率为 77.60%。

The presence of non-biodegradable dyes, such as Remazol Brilliant Blue R (Reactive Blue 19), in wastewater poses a significant environmental challenge. This study investigates the application of electrocoagulation using iron-aluminum (Fe-Al) electrodes to efficiently remove Reactive Blue 19 dye from simulated textile dye wastewater. It considers various parameters such as electrode material, current, stirring speed, as well as the influence of sodium chloride acting as a supporting electrolyte to enhance conductivity. Additionally, it evaluates the economic feasibility through electrode consumption analysis. The experimental setup involved a designed reactor with aluminum and iron electrodes arranged at bipolar parallel connection, along with a 30-minute electrocoagulation process conducted at ambient temperature and subsequent filtration of the treated wastewater for UV-VIS analysis. The optimal parameter combination obtained consists of Fe-Al electrode material, a 3 A current, and a 200-rpm stirring speed, achieving 96.87% dye removal. Furthermore, extending the operating time to 60 minutes improved the removal by 99.15%. Under these optimal conditions, the energy consumption measured was 36 kWh/m3. The high dye removal rate obtained shows the effectiveness of this electrocoagulation process in treating Reactive Blue 19 simulated wastewater. A t-test, employed as a hypothesis testing technique with a significance level of 0.05, confirmed the optimal levels of the factors and interactions within the treatment process. A remarkable coefficient of determination of 0.9794 in the dye removal sensitivity analysis signifies a strong goodness of fit, indicating that these three (3) parameters collectively explain how they affect the outcome while accounting for dye removal efficiency variation. These results showed that electrocoagulation is a promising technology for treatment of Reactive Blue 19 dye wastewater.
废水中存在不可生物降解的染料,如 Remazol 亮蓝 R(活性蓝 19),给环境带来了巨大挑战。本研究调查了使用铁铝(Fe-Al)电极进行电凝的应用,以有效去除模拟纺织染料废水中的活性蓝 19 染料。研究考虑了各种参数,如电极材料、电流、搅拌速度,以及作为支撑电解质的氯化钠对提高电导率的影响。此外,它还通过电极消耗分析评估了经济可行性。实验装置包括一个铝电极和铁电极双极平行连接的反应器,以及一个在环境温度下进行的 30 分钟电凝过程,随后过滤处理后的废水进行紫外可见光谱分析。获得的最佳参数组合包括铁铝电极材料、3 A 电流和 200 转/分钟的搅拌速度,染料去除率达到 96.87%。此外,将运行时间延长至 60 分钟可使染料去除率提高 99.15%。在这些最佳条件下,测得的能耗为 36 kWh/m3。所获得的高染料去除率表明,该电凝工艺在处理活性蓝 19 模拟废水方面非常有效。采用显著性水平为 0.05 的 t 检验作为假设检验技术,证实了处理过程中各因素和相互作用的最佳水平。在染料去除敏感性分析中,确定系数为 0.9794,表明拟合度很高,表明这三个参数共同解释了它们如何影响结果,同时考虑了染料去除效率的变化。这些结果表明,电凝技术是一种处理活性蓝 19 染料废水的有前途的技术。

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier as no carbon dioxide is emitted during its use in fuel cells or combustion. Solar photoelectrochemical water splitting is a potential process for producing renewable hydrogen. Herein, energy transport phenomena are addressed for the future design of large-scale reactors. First, we show that the thickness of the aqueous electrolyte layer is an essential factor for utilizing the full spectrum of solar radiation. The transport of solar irradiation through the aqueous electrolyte is theoretically analysed. Next, based on the measurement of light transmission through hydrogen bubbles generated from a hydrogen evolving electrode, the energy loss caused by the bubbles covering a photoelectrode is discussed. The bubble size distributions at practical current densities are also presented. Then, a bubble flow guide for controlling the stream of bubbles in a thin electrolyte layer is proposed. A design strategy and experimental results verifying the performance of the bubble flow guide are presented. We demonstrate that surface wettability and inclination angle are important for designing an effective bubble flow guide. We examine the surface wettability control using hydrophilic coatings in detail. Changes in the water contact angles as well as bubble adhesion forces on the coated surfaces are demonstrated. In addition, the current experimental method can be used to identify essential issues in photoelectrochemical processes. Because bubble trapping and growth in a flow guide are reflected in the electrode potential variation, the discussion of electrode potential variation would be useful for further developing bubble flow guides. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential for developing and designing solar photoelectrochemical reactors.
氢气是一种很有前途的能源载体,因为它在燃料电池或燃烧过程中不会排放二氧化碳。太阳能光电化学水分裂是一种生产可再生氢的潜在工艺。在此,我们探讨了能量传输现象,以便未来设计大型反应器。首先,我们表明水电解质层的厚度是利用全光谱太阳辐射的关键因素。我们从理论上分析了太阳辐照在水电解质中的传输。接着,根据对氢气演化电极产生的氢气泡透光率的测量,讨论了气泡覆盖光电极造成的能量损失。此外,还介绍了实际电流密度下的气泡大小分布。然后,提出了一种用于控制薄电解质层中气泡流的气泡导流器。本文介绍了验证气泡导流板性能的设计策略和实验结果。我们证明,表面润湿性和倾斜角对于设计有效的气泡导流板非常重要。我们详细研究了使用亲水涂层控制表面润湿性的问题。我们展示了水接触角的变化以及气泡在涂层表面的附着力。此外,当前的实验方法还可用于确定光电化学过程中的基本问题。由于气泡在导流板中的捕获和生长反映在电极电位变化中,因此对电极电位变化的讨论将有助于进一步开发气泡导流板。总之,这项研究展示了开发和设计太阳能光电化学反应器的潜力。

The effective practice of waste separation at the source is crucial for achieving sustainable development and promoting the reduce, reuse, and recycle concept. This practice should be adopted by both households and business organisations. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the intention of waste separation at the household level in Sri Lanka. For this purpose, a random selection of 388 households representing the entire country was undertaken. Independent variables, including attitude, perceived cost benefits, moral norms, inconvenience, and rules and regulations, were examined in relation to their impact on the dependent variable, which was the intention of waste separation. A 5-point Likert scale questiommaire was utilised to assess each of these variables. The methodology employed in this study included principal component analysis, factor analysis, and Structural Equation Model (SEM) to establish the underlying model. The results of the analysis revealed the significance of attitude, perceived cost benefits, and moral norms at a 5% significance level. Interestingly, although inconvenience exhibited a negative influence on intention, its significance was not established. Furthermore, while existing literature commonly attributed local government rules and regulations as a significant factor, the model indicated a positive and insignificant relationship. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of positive attitudes, perceived benefits in terms of cost, and adherence to moral norms in fostering the intention for waste separation. Despite the negative impact of inconvenience not reaching statistical significance, it remains a noteworthy consideration.

在源头进行有效的废物分类对于实现可持续发展和推广减量化、再利用和再循环理念至关重要。家庭和商业机构都应采用这种做法。本研究的主要目的是调查影响斯里兰卡家庭垃圾分类意向的因素。为此,研究人员随机抽取了代表斯里兰卡全国的 388 个家庭。独立变量包括态度、感知成本效益、道德规范、不便以及规章制度,研究了这些变量对因变量(即垃圾分类意向)的影响。研究采用了 5 点李克特量表来评估这些变量。本研究采用的方法包括主成分分析、因子分析和结构方程模型(SEM),以建立基本模型。分析结果显示,态度、感知成本效益和道德规范在 5%的显著性水平上具有重要意义。有趣的是,虽然不便对意向有负面影响,但其显著性并不成立。此外,虽然现有文献普遍认为地方政府的规章制度是一个重要因素,但该模型表明两者之间存在正向关系,且不显著。总之,本研究强调了积极态度、成本方面的利益感知以及道德规范的遵守在促进垃圾分类意向方面的重要性。尽管不便的负面影响没有达到统计学意义上的显著性,但它仍然是一个值得注意的因素。此外,与地方政府规章制度之间意外的积极且不显著的关系也促使我们进一步探索。

For this purpose, a random selection of 388 households representing the entire country was undertaken. Independent variables, including attitude, perceived cost benefits, moral norms, inconvenience, and rules and regulations, were examined in relation to their impact on the dependent variable, which was the intention of waste separation.

The methodology employed in this study included principal component analysis, factor analysis, and Structural Equation Model (SEM) to establish the underlying model. The results of the analysis revealed the significance of attitude, perceived cost benefits, and moral norms at a 5% significance level. Interestingly, although inconvenience exhibited a negative influence on intention, its significance was not established. Furthermore, while existing literature commonly attributed local government rules and regulations as a significant factor, the model indicated a positive and insignificant relationship.

Renewable energy power generation is extensively promoting for the global objective of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Solar energy leads all renewables due to its ubiquitous nature which can be harvested by solar thermal and solar photovoltaic devices. Solar PV is used widely because of its flexibility in working with both direct and diffuse radiation. However, PV systems experience efficiency loss for every degree rise of solar cell temperature above room temperature. Solar photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors are proposed for co-generation of electrical and thermal energy by utilizing excess heat generated in the PV layer. The low heat transfer rate, energy-intensive nature, and freezing of working fluid in colder regions are some problems that persist in water- and air-based PV/Ts, leading us to consider alternatives. Thus, the present study addresses the current opportunities by utilizing heat pipes as PV/T absorbers. Heat pipe PVT is a passive system which operates in phase transition facilitating a tremendous amount of heat transfer enhancement. To enhance the efficiency of PV/T systems, the integration of advanced technologies, like heat pipe thermal absorbers, becomes imperative. Incorporating cutting-edge solutions, such as heat pipe thermal absorbers, is essential to optimize the performance of PV/T systems. Hence, the current study provides insight into heat pipe design through a case study on the application of heat pipes as thermal absorbers for photovoltaic systems. The existing absorbers with fluid flow configurations like Raster, Spiral or Rectangular spiral, etc. used in PV/T are considered as reference. Copper as tube material and water as working fluid are found to be compatible with each other for the proposed heat pipe. The maximum heat input of 0.55kW is computed by the inadequacy of the mentioned existing PVTs to extract the maximum available heat from the PV surface. Additionally, an analytical approach used to define the optimum size of the system and calculation of minimum requirement of tubes. The optimized design of copper heat pipes was found to be ½ inch in diameter and at least ten heat pipes were required to transfer a computed heat flux of 466kW/m 2 per pipe to outperform the existing PV/Ts.
为实现减少温室气体排放的全球目标,正在广泛推广可再生能源发电。太阳能是所有可再生能源中的佼佼者,因为它无处不在,可以通过太阳能热发电和太阳能光伏发电设备获取。太阳能光伏发电因其在直接辐射和漫射辐射条件下的灵活性而被广泛使用。然而,太阳能电池温度每高于室温一度,光伏系统的效率就会下降。太阳能光伏热能(PVT)集热器是利用光伏层产生的多余热量,实现电能和热能的联合发电。水基和气基 PV/T 集热器始终存在传热率低、能耗高以及工作流体在寒冷地区结冰等问题,这促使我们考虑替代方案。因此,本研究利用热管作为 PV/T 吸收器来解决当前的机遇。热管 PVT 是一种无源系统,它在相变过程中运行,可极大地促进热传递。为了提高 PV/T 系统的效率,热管吸热器等先进技术的集成势在必行。采用热管吸热器等尖端解决方案对于优化光伏/发电系统的性能至关重要。因此,本研究通过对热管作为热吸收器应用于光伏系统的案例研究,深入探讨了热管的设计。研究参考了光伏/发电系统中现有的流体流动配置吸收器,如光栅式、螺旋式或矩形螺旋式等。铜作为管道材料,水作为工作流体,这两种材料在拟议的热管中是相互兼容的。根据上述现有 PVT 不足以从光伏表面提取最大可用热量的情况,计算出最大热输入为 0.55kW。此外,还采用了一种分析方法来确定系统的最佳尺寸,并计算出热管的最低要求。结果发现,铜热管的优化设计直径为 ½ 英寸,至少需要十根热管,每根热管传输的计算热通量为 466kW/m 2,才能超过现有的 PV/T。

The emergence of 2-D materials such as graphene has caught the attention of the scientific community. 2-D materials have a higher surface area per unit mass, which is ideal for electrodes. Another popular material among researchers is the monolayer palladium diselenide or PdSe2, a semiconductor with a tunable bandgap energy. Since there are fewer states in the fermi level of PdSe2, the quantization effect is more prevalent, hence, it would most likely draw its capacitance from its electronic configuration. In this study, the electronic properties such as band structure, density of states, and quantum capacitance of pristine monolayer PdSe2, PdSe2 with Se, and Pd vacancy were calculated based on density functional theory via Quantum Espresso. The formation energies of all systems were energetically favourable. The system with Se vacancy has the highest formation energy with a value of -3.47 eV. The density of states of all systems were observed to have a local minima at the fermi level. More occupiable states around the valence band were observed for the systems with vacancy. Bader charge analysis showed a notable decrease of charge in Se atoms near the Pd vacancy, while the Pd atoms in the Se vacated system showed stronger charge transfer between Pd and another Se atom. The quantum capacitance and surface charge values were calculated using the density of states. Higher surface charge values at the negative voltage were observed for the systems with induced vacancies. Based on the results, the systems with vacancies have improved the quantum capacitance and surface charge at the negative potential.
石墨烯等二维材料的出现引起了科学界的关注。二维材料单位质量的表面积更大,是理想的电极材料。另一种受研究人员欢迎的材料是单层二硒化钯或 PdSe2,这是一种带隙能量可调的半导体。由于 PdSe2 的费米级状态较少,量子化效应更为普遍,因此它的电容很可能来自其电子构型。本研究基于密度泛函理论,通过量子 Espresso 计算了原始单层 PdSe2、含 Se 的 PdSe2 和 Pd 空位的电子特性,如带状结构、状态密度和量子电容。所有体系的形成能都是有利的。含 Se 空位的体系的形成能最高,为 -3.47 eV。据观察,所有体系的状态密度在费米级都有局部极小值。观察到存在空位的体系在价带附近有更多的可占据态。巴德尔电荷分析表明,钯空位附近的硒原子电荷明显减少,而硒空位体系中的钯原子与另一个硒原子之间的电荷转移更强。量子电容和表面电荷值是通过状态密度计算得出的。在具有诱导空位的体系中,负电压下的表面电荷值较高。根据这些结果,具有空位的体系在负电位时的量子电容和表面电荷都有所提高。

Wearing sunscreen products protects human skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing hydrophobic silica aerogel and grape seed extract as additional raw materials in creating a sunscreen formula. This study aims to evaluate the acceptability of the sunscreen formulation in terms of determining its sun protection factor using UV-vis spectrophotometry, ability to remain on the surface using water resistance testing, and shelf life using a stability chamber. The methodology begins with obtaining a modified hydrophobic silica aerogel classified as cosmetic grade. The sunscreen formulation has a combination of 2 wt. % of hydrophobic silica aerogel, 3 wt.% of grape seed oil, and other ingredients using thermal procedures. The results demonstrated that the addition of hydrophobic silica aerogel and grape seed extract in sunscreen formulation exhibits satisfactory UV protection attaining an SPF value of 28.17073 which indicates a medium sun protection factor according to the standardized category of SPF values. On the contrary, the sunscreen without the active ingredients has an SPF value of 4.762. Additionally, both sunscreen’s water resistance was assessed by testing a total of 60 minutes in both tap water and salt water. The findings showed that both samples of sunscreens in tap water were more resistant compared to saltwater. Furthermore, the sunscreen with hydrophobic silica aerogel and grape seed extract stayed intact and did not dissolve in tap water after a 40-minute exposure time, but it did gradually disintegrate after 20 minutes in salt water since salt water has a higher density than tap water. In stability testing of both sunscreen formulations, the results revealed that the moisture content of the sunscreen formulation with hydrophobic silica aerogel and grape seed extract does not exceed 10% which indicates a low presence of oil. Hence, it proves its stability under the controlled conditions of 40°C and 75% relative humidity examined over one (1) month since it had a high moisture content of 78.98% obtained using the gravimetric method. For the sunscreen without these ingredients, the total moisture content under the same conditions and method is 29.07%. Thus, it indicates a high presence of oil and does not attain the standard moisture content for sunscreens. Overall, the evaluated performance of adding the hydrophobic silica aerogel and grape seed extract to the sunscreen formulation ensures its efficacy regarding its SPF, water resistance, and shelf life.
涂抹防晒产品可以保护人体皮肤免受太阳紫外线辐射的伤害。我们进行了一项实验研究,以评估利用疏水性二氧化硅气凝胶和葡萄籽萃取物作为额外原料来制作防晒霜配方的有效性。这项研究的目的是评估防晒配方的可接受性,包括使用紫外线-可见分光光度法确定防晒系数、使用耐水性测试确定在表面上的停留能力,以及使用稳定性试验箱确定保质期。该方法首先要获得被列为化妆品级的改性疏水二氧化硅气凝胶。防晒霜配方由 2 重量%的疏水二氧化硅气凝胶、3 重量%的葡萄籽油和其他成分通过热程序组合而成。结果表明,在防晒霜配方中添加疏水性二氧化硅气凝胶和葡萄籽萃取物后,防晒效果令人满意,SPF 值达到 28.17073,根据 SPF 值的标准化类别,这表明防晒系数处于中等水平。相反,不含活性成分的防晒霜的 SPF 值为 4.762。此外,通过在自来水和盐水中测试 60 分钟,对两种防晒霜的防水性进行了评估。结果表明,与盐水相比,两种防晒霜样品在自来水中的耐水性都更强。此外,含有疏水性二氧化硅气凝胶和葡萄籽提取物的防晒霜在自来水中暴露 40 分钟后仍保持完好,没有溶解,但在盐水中暴露 20 分钟后会逐渐分解,因为盐水的密度比自来水高。在对两种防晒配方进行稳定性测试时,结果显示,含有疏水性二氧化硅气凝胶和葡萄籽提取物的防晒配方的水分含量不超过 10%,这表明油脂含量较低。因此,在 40°C 和 75% 相对湿度的受控条件下,经过一(1)个月的检验,证明了其稳定性,因为它的水分含量很高,用重量法测得为 78.98%。而不含这些成分的防晒霜在相同条件和方法下的总含水量为 29.07%。因此,这表明防晒霜中含有大量油分,达不到防晒霜的标准含水量。总之,在防晒霜配方中添加疏水性二氧化硅气凝胶和葡萄籽提取物的性能评估结果确保了防晒指数、防水性和保质期方面的功效。

Fresh air systems (FAS) represent an excellent solution for improving indoor air quality. Because FAS has a significant impact on buildings’ energy consumption, it is vital to investigate FAS usage behavior. At present, there is a research gap with respect to individualized FAS usage behavior and prediction models for residential buildings. From November 15th, 2018 to March 15th, 2019, this paper conducted a field measurement and modeling study of FAS usage behavior in thirteen Beijing households. During heating season, the FAS is used intermittently, with an average daily opening duration of 17.5 hours. Based on the “average daily opening duration”, two FAS usage behaviors were identified: economical households and conventional households. The average daily indoor particles matter 2.5 (PM2.5) concentration was observed to be lower in FAS-using households (16.19 μg/m3, 12.30 μg/m3) than in non-FAS-using households (46.1 μg/m3). Outdoor PM2.5 concentration is a motivating factor for FAS opening. The paper used binary logistic regression to predict the FAS status of both economical and conventional households (two classified models), as well as for all tested households (unclassified model). These results suggest that classified models (84.1%, 83.5%) have greater accuracy than the unclassified model (75.9%), opening the possibility of using the average daily opening duration to classify and examine FAS usage behavior. The study provides accurate field data for evaluating FAS usage behavior, as well as a reference for further simulating the energy consumption of FAS-using households.
新风系统(FAS)是改善室内空气质量的绝佳解决方案。由于新风系统对建筑能耗有重大影响,因此研究新风系统的使用行为至关重要。目前,针对住宅建筑的个性化新风系统使用行为和预测模型还存在研究空白。2018年11月15日至2019年3月15日,本文对北京13户家庭的FAS使用行为进行了实地测量和建模研究。采暖季期间,FAS间歇性使用,日平均开启时长为17.5小时。根据 "日平均开启时间",确定了两种 FAS 使用行为:经济型家庭和传统型家庭。据观察,使用 FAS 的家庭的日均室内颗粒物 2.5(PM2.5)浓度(16.19 μg/m3,12.30 μg/m3)低于不使用 FAS 的家庭(46.1 μg/m3)。室外PM2.5浓度是开启空调系统的一个动因。本文采用二元逻辑回归法预测经济型家庭和传统型家庭(两个分类模型)以及所有受测家庭(非分类模型)的 FAS 状态。这些结果表明,分类模型(84.1%、83.5%)比未分类模型(75.9%)具有更高的准确性,从而为使用日平均开放时间来分类和研究家庭酒精浓度使用行为提供了可能性。该研究为评估空调使用行为提供了准确的实地数据,也为进一步模拟空调使用家庭的能源消耗提供了参考。
