The prospects of a multifaceted vacuum-membrane solar dish concentrator are considered in this work. The membrane depths of these facets can shift slightly due to varying ambient conditions throughout an operational day, ...
Maximizing heat transfer efficiency is crucial for enhancing performance and durability in diverse engineering applications, including fuel cells, EV batteries, and solar PV/T systems, thereby advancing sustainable energy ...
PURPOSE :
Steam explosions are a major safety concern in many modern furnaces. The explosions are sometimes caused by water ingress into the furnace from leaks in its high-pressure (HP) cooling water system, coming into ...
This article reports recent advances in thermally induced phase separation technology in fabricating microporous scaffold polymeric membranes as devices suitable for the controlled release of insect repellent. The key ...
This paper explores the impact of Society 5.0, a Japanese initiative that integrates digital and physical spaces to address societal challenges and drive economic growth. It examines the role of decentralized technologies ...
PURPOSE :
This study aims to investigate the combined use of System Dynamics (SD) applications in Enterprise Engineering (EE) research and practice. SD application in EE is becoming widely accepted as a tool to support ...
