Abstract:
... A thermodynamically based theoretical analysis of bubble formation on hot heat-exchanger wall surfaces in systems for continuous indirect thermal treatment of milk was performed. Whereas previous research on bubble-related fouling has been experimental with just hypothesis about mechanisms behind the impact of bubble formation on fouling, this research contribute with a novel theoretical anadlysis ...

Abstract:
... Trichlorobenzene is a mixture of three isomers which are 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene. Due to the boiling points of the three components are close to each other, the adoption of conventional distillation process requires a large amount of energy. To reduce the distillation energy consumption, heat integration technology and mechanical vapor recompressio ...

Abstract:
... As a conserved protein degradation system, autophagy plays important roles in removing or degrading misfolded and denatured proteins to maintain the homeostasis in cells. As a core member of autophagy, the involvement of ATG8 in plant tolerance to abiotic stress is paid more attention. In this study, by the SMART online tool, the Atg8 conserved domain was detected in CaATG8e, and by the MEGA11 sof ...

The goal of this research is to develop a flexible, simple, and accurate coupled system model for nuclear combined heat and power cycle (CHP) to investigate various heat-source applications of a small modular reactor (SMR) based on off-design component models. A CHP heat exchanger system model was developed and coupled with the SMR secondary system model for a typical SMR-CHP analysis. The coupled ...
... The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological and biochemical heat responses of grafted tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings and their changes during the post-stress recovery period. Heat-tolerant ‘Celebrity’ and heat-sensitive ‘Arkansas Traveler’ tomatoes were grafted onto a commercial ‘Maxifort’ rootstock, and transplants were grown in growth chambers for 14 days of heat treatmen ...

Abstract:
... To explore the effect of the out-shell structure on dry heat modification efficiency on starch, chemical gelatinization technology was used to deshell the potato starch granules. The controlled shell-separated levels of approximately 10%, 30%, and 50% of the remnant were obtained. Further, starch samples were subjected to dry heat treatment (DHT), and the multi-structural, physicochemical, and dig ...

This work aims at revealing the cooling mechanism of S–CO₂ under wide working conditions to assist the S–CO₂ cooler design. The pseudo-condensation is proposed with the analogy between supercritical cooling and subcritical condensation. From the pseudo-condensation and the traditional turbulent field analysis ...

Here, we compared the thermal stability and formed degradation compounds of different 10-catechyl-pyranoanthocyanins. Pelargonidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, malvidin-3-glucoside, anthocyanins differing in the number of substitutions on the B-ring, and their corresponding 10 ...
... A better understanding of metabolic responses is necessary to elucidate interactive effects between water temperature and Zn. This study is performed to investigate the interactive influences of dietary Zn and water temperature on Zn transport, heat stress and lipid metabolism in the livers of freshwater teleost yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. A 2 × 2 factorial design is used in this study ...
... This study aimed to investigate changes of fat globules and their membranes, and further analyze evolution of lipid profile of lipid rafts in membranes during heat processing of cow milk. Size of fat globules increased from 3.16 μm to 3.70 μm and ζ-potential decreased from −0.53 mV to −0.38 mV after thermal treatment, suggesting that fat globule membrane was destroyed and fat globule occurred coal ...
... With the transformation from individual energy systems to integrated energy systems (IES), equivalent circuit IES modeling is developed to represent the heat and electricity consistently for coordinated analysis, control and optimization. However, physical properties of equivalent parameters are a mismatch, and the key operation characteristics, including dynamics and coupling, have not yet been f ...

Abstract:
... The methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process is commercialized worldwide, yet the understanding of in-furnace phenomena is still lacking. Accordingly, this work explores the multiphase flow and thermochemical characteristics in a commercial-scale MTO fluidized bed reactor using a three-dimensional multiphase particle-in-cell model. After model validations, the intrinsic relationship of solid transportatio ...

Abstract:
... Novel phase change materials composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG), cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were developed by an efficient and environment friendly strategy. The CNFs were modified and cross-linked by chitosan to form three-dimensional network structure, which provides strong support for the resulting CNF/CNT/PEG composites. The structure and properties of CNF/CNT/P ...

... The micro-cogeneration systems MCHP used in multi-family residential buildings do not allow for the proper division of costs between the owners of individual apartments, taking into account their different profiles of power and heat consumption, because of limitations resulting from current methods of cogeneration cost allocation. Moreover, the application of MCHP systems in multi-family buildings ...

Abstract:
... Most of the existing district heating systems are second and third generation and operate with supply temperature above 80–100 °C. To meet long-term decarbonization targets, existing networks should be transformed into low-temperature systems in a cost-effective manner. This paper presents a critical review on the strategies that can be adopted to reduce the supply temperature in existing district ...

The rise in air temperature in urban areas has been attracting the attention of urban climate researchers for years now, focusing on the intensity of the so-called Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. Recently, though, it has been rightly questioned whether the concept of UHI intensity is helpful in assessing mitigation of urban heat stress, especially since the concept does not reflect the spatial ...
