Fire, environmental and anthropogenic controls on pantropical tree cover

AbstractExplaining tropical tree cover distribution in areas of intermediate rainfall is challenging, with fire’s role in limiting tree cover particularly controversial. We use a novel Bayesian approach to provide observational constraints on the strength of the influence of humans, fire, rainfall seasonality, heat stress, and wind throw on tropical tree cover. Rainfall has the largest relative impact on tree cover (11.6–39.6%), followed by direct human pressures (29.8–36.8%), heat stress (10.5–23.3%) and rainfall seasonality (6.3–22.8%). Fire has a smaller impact (0.2–3.2%) than other stresses, increasing to 0.3–5.2% when excluding human influence. However, we found a potential vulnerability of eastern Amazon and Indonesian forests to fire, with up to 2% forest loss for a 1% increase in burnt area. Our results suggest that vegetation models should focus on fire development for emerging fire regimes in tropical forests and revisit the linkages between rainfall, non-fire disturbances, land use and broad-scale vegetation distributions.

Sustainability of Microwelding through Direct and Indirect Heating

Nowadays, microwelding processes have been developed for various technologies, mainly for electronic applications. Resistive bonding is usually used, but electrical energy consumption represents a challenge due to energy crisis in terms of lack of energy supply and prices. This paper aims to evaluate the carbon footprint and economic issues related to microwave welding of aluminum plates against conventional resistive bonding. The research performed has shown that for different levels of microwave injected power from 600 up to 1200 W, the calculated footprint based on energy consumption has shown the sustainability of the microwave welding process. The total energy consumed for microwelding process was less than 360 Wh meaning a total cost up 0,2 euro/100 joints.

A Physics Informed Neural Network for Solving the Inverse Heat Transfer Problem in Gas Turbine Rotating Cavities

Abstract Recently, Physics-Informed Neural Networks have displayed great potential in delivering swift and accurate solutions for inverse problems. Here, a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) was used to solve the inverse heat conduction problem in the rotating cavities of a aeroengine high-pressure compressor internal air system. The neural network was designed to receive experimentally captured radially distributed temperature profiles as inputs and predict the associated surface heat fluxes. The correctness of these predicted heat fluxes are assessed by numerically solving the direct heat conduction equation using a 2D Finite-Element model, thereby recovering the original temperature profiles. A comparative analysis is conducted between the predicted temperature profiles and the initial inputs. The physics informed neural network is trained using noise free synthetic data, created from a range of radial temperature curve fit coefficients, and subsequently tested on noisy experimental data at engine representative conditions. The predicted temperature values exhibit some good agreement with their respective actual counterparts. Furthermore, the sensitivity of model hyperparameters are explored to showcase the capability of the proposed approach. The results show that Physics- Informed Neural Networks exhibit reduced susceptibility to experimental uncertainties when addressing inverse problems, in contrast to inverse solution methods, and offer a possible new approach for analysis of experimental data if trained on a sufficiently large dataset.

Polydopamine Nanobowl-Armoured Perfluorocarbon Emulsions: Tracking Thermal- and Photothermal-Induced Phase Change through Neutron Scattering.

Anisotropic polydopamine nanobowls (PDA NBs) show significant promise in biomedicine, distinguished by their unique optical properties and superior cellular uptake compared to spherical nanoparticles. This study presents a novel approach for creating multistimuli-activated PDA NB-armored emulsions, encapsulating perfluorohexane (NB-H) and perfluoropentane (NB-P) cores, with applications in controlled delivery and ultrasound imaging. Thermal and photothermal activation induced distinct responses in the emulsions, as evidenced by optical microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. For the first time, neutron scattering techniques (SANS and USANS) under contrast matching conditions are applied to investigate these materials, revealing detailed droplet and microbubble structures and phase transition dynamics. These results show that NB-H droplets resist phase change under direct heating, whereas NB-P droplets respond more readily, exhibiting significant bubble formation. During photothermal activation with short near-infrared (NIR) exposure (15 min at 400mW cm-2), SANS and USANS analyses reveal varying degrees of phase transition, proving this activation method to be more effective than direct heating. Importantly, NB-H and NB-P droplets have excellent ultrasound contrast enhancement and biocompatibility, indicating their potential for contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging, theranostics, and photothermal applications. This comprehensive study advances the understanding of multifunctional colloidal materials in biomedicine, contributing essential knowledge to this rapidly evolving field.

Multi-objective directional microwave heating based on time reversal

Microwave heating has been widely applied in fields such as food processing and material treatment. However, achieving multi-objective directional microwave heating remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, a novel method for multi-objective directional microwave heating based on time-reversal is proposed. The transmitting units are placed at heating materials regions, utilizing the characteristics of time-reversal spatial focusing and the principle of electric field superposition to achieve multi-objective directional heating. These transmitting units radiate electromagnetic waves sequentially, while receiving units collect and process the information from the transmitting units, then send it back into the cavity, enabling multi-objective directional microwave heating. To validate the proposed method, both simulations and experiments were carried out. The heating performance was measured by infrared thermal imager and thermocouple. The results demonstrate that the method effectively achieves multi-objective directional heating. Additionally, the strategy of introducing an aluminum block inside the cavity to enrich the scattering environment and thereby improve the time reversal heating effects were also verified through simulations and experiments. Further, the effects of power and phase on heating performance were analyzed. These results confirms that the proposed method can achieve efficient directional heating through S-parameters measurements without requiring complex optimization processes. The method offers excellent portability and broad application prospects.

Monitoring the heating energy performance of a heat wheel in a direct expansion air handling unit

This study presents an on-site examination of the heating energy performance of a real ventilation system, running on the flat roof of a shopping complex building in Hungary. The main focus of this study is to delve into the heating energy efficiency of specific air handling elements, such as the air-to-air rotary heat wheel and the direct expansion heating coil supplied by a variable refrigerant volume outdoor unit under real operation conditions. Additionally, an investigation was carried out during the heating season to scrutinize the potential occurrence of CO2 transfer from the exhaust airflow to the supply airflow within the heat wheel, which issue highlights a notable limitation of the heat recovery system. Based on the monitored and measured data, the energy saving impact of the heat wheel was 20.5 % on the electric power consumption of the variable refrigerant volume outdoor unit throughout the entire heating period, compared to operation without heat wheel. Furthermore, the relative average of CO2 cross-contamination is recorded as 3.8 % in the investigated heating season.

X-ray and optical observations of the millisecond pulsar binary PSR J1431–4715

We present the first X-ray observation of the energetic millisecond pulsar binary PSR J1431−4715, performed with XMM-Newton and complemented with fast optical multi-band photometry acquired with the ULTRACAM instrument at ESO-NTT. It is found as a faint X-ray source without a significant orbital modulation. This contrasts with the majority of systems that instead display substantial X-ray orbital variability. The X-ray spectrum is dominated by non-thermal emission and, due to the lack of orbital modulation, does not favour an origin in an intrabinary shock between the pulsar and companion star wind. While thermal emission from the neutron star polar cap cannot be excluded in the soft X-rays, the dominance of synchrotron emission favours an origin in the pulsar magnetosphere that we describe at both X-ray and gamma-ray energies with a synchro-curvature model. The optical multi-colour light curve folded at the 10.8 h orbital period is double-humped and dominated by ellipsoidal effects, but also affected by irradiation. The ULTRACAM light curves are fit with several models encompassing direct heating and a cold spot, or heat redistribution after irradiation either through convection or convection plus diffusion. Despite the inability to constrain the best irradiation models, the fits provide consistent system parameters, giving an orbital inclination of 59 ± 6° and a distance of 3.1 ± 0.3 kpc. The companion is found to be an F-type star, underfilling its Roche lobe (fRL = 73 ± 4%) with a mass of 0.20 ± 0.04 M⊙, confirming the redback status, but hotter than the majority of redbacks. The stellar dayside and nightside temperatures of 7500 K and 7400 K, respectively, indicate a weak irradiation effect on the companion, likely due to its high intrinsic luminosity. Although the pulsar mass cannot be precisely derived, a heavy (1.8−2.2 M⊙) neutron star is favoured.

Deposition of Titanium Dioxide Particles on Kanthal Coils by Direct Heating Technique for Photodegradation of Methylene Blue Solution

Organic dyes are extensively used in textile and batik industry. Dispose of untreated dye effluent into water system is hazardous to human and environment. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) based on heterogeneous TiO2 photocatalyst is proven for effluent treatment. Immobilization of TiO2 photocatalyst on supporting substrate is one of the research focuses to realize its application in industry to minimize the loss of TiO2 photocatalyst over time during effluent treatment. Many synthesis techniques have been used to grow TiO2 photocatalyst on supporting substrates. However, these synthesis techniques are either time- or cost-consuming. In this work, a novel direct heating (DH) technique has been developed for the first time to deposit TiO2 particles on kanthal coils. The optimum deposition of TiO2 particles was achieved in 15 min using 60 W. The TiO2 particles contained mixture of anatase (82.7%) and brookite (17.3%), with an average particle size of 167.36±15.37 nm. The surface coverage of TiO2 particles on kanthal wire was good, with minimum agglomeration. The TiO2 particles deposited on kanthal coils recorded 43.7% of photodegradation efficiency in methylene blue removal under UV light.

Design and evaluation of an active vineyard heating system to simulate temperature increase in the context of climate change

The current study introduces an innovative direct and active heating system designed for precise temperature control in vineyards. This system serves as a valuable tool for investigating the influence of climate change on grapevine physiology and, consequently, the characteristics of the resulting wine. The research took place in an experimental vineyard located in Mendoza, Argentina, with V. vinifera cvs. trained to a vertical shoot positioning trellis system over two consecutive growing seasons. The system design utilized electric hot water tanks and polypropylene pipes attached to the foliage catch wires. Over two growing seasons, the system consistently elevated the ambient air temperatures within the canopy by 2.5 ± 0.12 °C compared to the control group. This temperature increase emulated the temperature projections for Mendoza as forecasted by the IPCC by the end of this century. The system displayed heating uniformity, as evidenced by the absence of both vertical and horizontal temperature gradients. Additionally, the significant variation in mean daytime and night-time temperatures between the control and heated treatments highlighted the effectiveness of the system in modifying temperature conditions on a diurnal basis. The heated treatment applied with this system proved to have an effective biological impact on the physiology of grapevines. In both seasons, plants under the heated treatment advanced their bud break and harvest dates. The study showed a significant growth enhancement in the heated treatment, with apical shoots extending significantly longer than those in the control treatment. Additionally, the total soluble solids content increased in the heating treatment, while yield decreased, for both experimental seasons. These results illustrate the robust performance of the system throughout the entire growth period, regardless of fluctuations in atmospheric conditions. This study establishes a new foundation for future research on grapevine responses to climate change. It also opens the door to the implementation of effective adaptation strategies in vineyards, promising a more resilient and adaptable future for grape cultivation.

Selection of refrigerant for use in chillers

BACKGROUND: Chillers (chillers) are essential components in various industrial processes. They are primarily used when direct cooling through direct heat exchange between the boiling coolant and the cooled medium is not feasible. This could be attributed to the cost of the refrigerant, especially when a large amount of expensive substances for long refrigerant lines is needed, or the risks associated with using toxic and flammable refrigerants, which could be hazardous in case of leaks. Chillers are typically classified into three types based on their temperature applications: high-temperature chillers for uses like plastic manufacturing and data centers, medium-temperature chillers for air conditioning systems, etc.) and low-temperature chillers for applications like ice fields and food storage. Given their widespread use and high production volume, designing efficient chillers is an important task. AIMS: Substantiating refrigerant use in terms of efficiency and service life of refrigeration equipment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Chillers are designed for various industrial applications, with specific inlet and outlet temperatures for the evaporator: +26°С / + 20°С (ВТ); +12°С / +7°С (ST); −10°С / −13°С (НТ)). These chillers operate using refrigerants R134a, R410A, R404A, and R1270, evaluated through an entropy-statistical method of thermodynamic analysis [1]. R1270 is highlighted as a promising refrigerant for monoblock chillers, since there are no filling restrictions for these chillers when installed in open space [2]. RESULTS: Among the refrigerant reviewed, R1270 demonstrates the highest thermodynamic efficiency in BT mode, outperforming R404A by 11.97%, R134a by 2.15%, and R410A by 5.48%. In CT mode, R1270 also leads,–with a 14.13% advantage over R404A, 3.04% over R134a, and 3.41% over R410A. Similarly, in HT mode, R1270 shows superior thermodynamic performance, being 21.95% more efficient than R404A, 29.73% more than R134a, and 11.44% more than R410A. The use of R410A and R134a in NT mode is limited owing to high discharge temperatures during compression, namely 116.94°C for R410A and 114.63°C for R134a, potentially reducing equipment lifespan. The lowest discharge temperature during actual compression, 84.63°C, is achieved using R404A coolant. However, despite its efficiency, this refrigerant results in a relatively high discharge temperature of 96.84°C. CONCLUSIONS: The analysis highlights specific applications for various refrigerants in chillers and underscores the potential of natural refrigerant R1270, which is produced in the Russian Federation.

A negative-carbon planning method for agricultural rural industrial park integrated energy system considering biomass energy and modern agricultural facilities

Biomass energy, recognized as a “zero-carbon” energy, has gradually become a crucial approach to promoting the low-carbon transformation of agricultural rural industrial parks (ARIP). Meanwhile, modern agricultural facilities (MAF) can play a significant role in adjusting agricultural load. Therefore, this paper proposes a negative-carbon planning method for the ARIP integrated energy system (IES). Firstly, carbon activities occurring during the operation of ARIP are sorted out and modeled based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) method, especially modeling the “zero-carbon” and “negative-carbon” benefits of biomass energy. At the same time, the models of both agricultural irrigation systems and straw bundling direct combustion heating are constructed in the ARIP planning. Then, a negative-carbon planning model for ARIP IES is established with the goal of minimizing the annualized total cost, where carbon emission reduction is integrated into the optimization objectives through carbon trading. On this basis, a two-stage distributionally robust optimization (DRO) planning model is constructed, where a box-like set and comprehensive norm constraints are used to model the seasonal differences of agricultural industry loads and the uncertainty of probability distribution in photovoltaic (PV) scenarios. Especially, a box set with adjustable uncertainty coefficients is introduced to simulate fluctuations of output in PV scenario. Finally, the CPLEX solver is used to solve the planning model. verify the effectiveness of the proposed planning method in enhancing the economic and environmental effects of ARIP. Results indicate that the proposed planning model can reduce the total cost by 49.584 × 104 $. Besides, the annual carbon emissions can be reduced from 37533.98 t CO2-eq to −15834.5 t CO2-eq. Especially, the carbon sequestration effect of biochar is the key link in achieving “negative carbon” in ARIP.

Constraints on dark matter from dynamical heating of stars in ultrafaint dwarfs. I. MACHOs and primordial black holes

We place limits on dark matter made up of compact objects significantly heavier than a solar mass, such as MACHOs or primordial black holes (PBHs). In galaxies, the gas of such objects is generally hotter than the gas of stars and will thus heat the gas of stars even through purely gravitational interactions. Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) maximize this effect. Observations of the half-light radius in UFDs thus place limits on MACHO dark matter. We build upon previous constraints with an improved heating rate calculation including both direct and tidal heating, and consideration of the heavier mass range above 104M⊙. Additionally we find that MACHOs may lose energy and migrate in to the center of the UFD, increasing the heat transfer to the stars. UFDs can constrain MACHO dark matter with masses between about 10M⊙ and 108M⊙ and these are the strongest constraints over most of this range. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Precision-induced localized molten liquid metal stamps for damage-free transfer printing of ultrathin membranes and 3D objects

Transfer printing, a crucial technique for heterogeneous integration, has gained attention for enabling unconventional layouts and high-performance electronic systems. Elastomer stamps are typically used for transfer printing, where localized heating for elastomer stamp can effectively control the transfer process. A key challenge is the potential damage to ultrathin membranes from the contact force of elastic stamps, especially with fragile inorganic nanomembranes. Herein, we present a precision-induced localized molten technique that employs either laser-induced transient heating or hotplate-induced directional heating to precisely melt solid gallium (Ga). By leveraging the fluidity of localized molten Ga, which provides gentle contact force and exceptional conformal adaptability, this technique avoids damage to fragile thin films and improves operational reliability compared to fully liquefied Ga stamps. Furthermore, the phase transition of Ga provides a reversible adhesion with high adhesion switchability. Once solidified, the Ga stamp hardens and securely adheres to the micro/nano-membrane during the pick-up process. The solidified stamp also exhibits the capability to maneuver arbitrarily shaped objects by generating a substantial grip force through the interlocking effects. Such a robust, damage-free, simply operable protocol illustrates its promising capabilities in transfer printing diverse ultrathin membranes and objects on complex surfaces for developing high-performance unconventional electronics.

Experimental study on the operating characteristics of multiple collector direct expansion solar-assisted heat pump

Solar thermal application is one of the most important ways to replace fossil energy. The discontinuous heating character and low heating efficiency are two key factors that limit the large-scale promotion of solar thermal application. Large-scale direct expansion solar heat pump systems (DX-SAHP) can provide high efficiency and low-cost continuous heating. However, the characteristics of multiple collector arrays and the system's performance still need more research and exploration. In this paper, a DX-SAHP system with multiple solar collectors was constructed and the work process of the system under different operation conditions was expressed. An experimental platform with two DX-SAHP system was built and studied, and each system contained a 10HP compressor, 16 set solar collectors and one fin evaporator in parallel. The results show that the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system running with solar collectors was nearly 30 % higher than that with the fin evaporator under constant frequency mode, and nearly 45 % under variable frequency mode, indicating that such a system has better performance under variable frequency operation mode. The refrigerant in the collector/evaporators were distributed uniformly in equal-path connection mode, which was beneficial in promoting the system's performance. The heating performance of the system under sunny and cloudy weather conditions was analyzed and discussed, respectively. The test results indicated that the COP of the system on sunny or cloudy days was higher than 4.0, and the maximum hourly COP can reach 11.3 and the maximum hourly heating capacity was 27 kW.

An Investigation of Oxides of Tantalum Produced by Pulsed Laser Ablation and Continuous Wave Laser Heating.

Recent progress has seen multiple Ta2O5 polymorphs generated by different synthesis techniques. However, discrepancies arise when these polymorphs are produced in widely varying thermodynamic conditions and characterized using different techniques. This work aimed to characterize and compare Ta2O5 particles formed at high and low temperatures using nanosecond pulsed laser ablation (PLA) and continuous wave (CW) laser heating of a local area of tantalum in either air or an 18O2 atmosphere. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy of the micrometer-sized particles generated by PLA were consistent with either a localized amorphous Ta2O5 phase or a similar, but not identical, crystalline β-Ta2O5 phase. The Raman spectrum of the material formed at the point of CW laser impingement was in good agreement with the previously established ceramic "H-Ta2O5" phase. TEM and electron diffraction analysis of these particles indicated the phase structure matched an oxygen-vacated superstructure of monoclinic H-Ta2O5. Further from the point of laser impingement, CW heating produced particles with a Raman spectrum that matched β-Ta2O5. We confirmed that the high-temperature ceramic phase characterized in previous work by Raman spectroscopy was the same monoclinic phase characterized in different work by TEM and could be produced by direct laser heating of metal in air.

Experimental study on electricity generation performance of T‐type direct‐expansion solar PVT heat pump system

AbstractFocusing on the electricity generation performance of a direct expansion solar PVT heat pump system, a novel T‐type optimized collector/evaporator was designed. The experiment used refrigerant R410a as the working medium and was conducted under the average winter ambient temperature of 16°C in Fuzhou. Through experimental comparison, the differences in panel temperature, electricity generation, and efficiency under different radiation intensities were tested against traditional PV panels and honeycomb PVT panels. The experimental results showed that the T‐type PVT system exhibited significant advantages under various weather conditions. The back panel temperature was reduced by 12.74, 8.52, and 13.06°C compared to traditional PV panels and honeycomb PVT panels, respectively, and it maintained a stable increase in electricity generation. The maximum instantaneous electricity output increased by 56.6% relatively, and the total electricity generation increased by 9.3% to 14.5% compared to traditional PV panels. The photoelectric efficiency reached 21.54% and 22.6%, surpassing traditional PV panels and honeycomb PVT panels, with measured values relatively increased by 1.7%, 2.38%, and 2.76%, respectively. Economic evaluation indicated that the T‐type PVT system could save on self‐generated electricity costs, achieving savings of up to 386.50 and 210.81 yuan/year compared to traditional PV panels and honeycomb PVT panels. The T‐type PVT system demonstrated clear advantages in self‐generated electricity costs, significantly reducing costs for application scenarios and providing strong support for the practical application of renewable energy technologies.

Towards sustainable hydrogen production: Integrating electrified and convective steam reformer with carbon capture and storage

This work reports the design of a process for hydrogen production based on electrified steam methane reforming (e-SMR) coupled with a convective reforming (convective SMR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an alternative to conventional fuel-fired reforming to reduce natural gas (NG) consumption as well as carbon dioxide emissions. The energy required by the reforming reaction is supplied by direct electric heating instead of burning fossil fuel in the radiant section of a furnace, saving 35 % NG and reducing CO2 emission by 29 %. Implementing convective SMR reduces the electric load of the main e-SMR reactor and ensures a slightly higher thermal efficiency (80.2 %) compared to conventional fuel-fired reforming (78.9 %). Further CO2 emissions (85 %) and NG consumption reduction (50 %) are possible by adopting amine-based CO2 capture. If coupled with an energy integration scheme, it is possible to capture 75 % of the CO2 produced, preserving high energy efficiency (79.4 %). This requires only a 14 % increase in capital costs, which is strongly beneficial compared to applying CO2 capture to flue gases of the fuel-fired reforming (69.8 % efficiency and 80 % more capital costs).The process based on e-SMR coupled with convective SMR and CO2 capture ensures a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of 0.281 € Nm−3 H2, which is much lower than the conventional fuel-fired reforming with CO2 capture applied to flue gases (0.309 € Nm−3 H2). Moreover, it has comparable CO2 emissions (1.59 vs 0.99 kg CO2 emitted kg−1 H2) but produces lower CO2 (6.39 vs 9.88 CO2 produced kg−1 H2) compared to fuel-fired reforming due to using renewable electricity as energy source for the SMR. Compared to conventional fuel-fired reforming, the same process provides similar LCOH (0.283 vs 0.282 € Nm−3 H2) but with drastically lower CO2 emissions (1.59 vs 8.99 kg CO2 emitted kg−1 H2).

Process integration and electrification through multiple heat pumps using a Lorenz efficiency approach

This paper introduces a novel method for targeting the minimum shaft work required for process electrification employing principles of Pinch Analysis and detailed heat pump performance estimations. The method deviates from conventional Pinch Analysis by dividing the grand composite curve (GCC) into net heat sink and source profiles to enable the placement of heat pumps exploiting the heat pockets of the GCC. Additionally, it employs Lorenz efficiency over exergy efficiency, offering an accurate description of heat pump performance and highlighting the importance of integration between processes. The method is applied to two case studies. The first case, milk evaporator, focused on the placement of heat pumps in the heat pockets of the GCC. The results showed that while the maximum direct heat recovery was 20,447 kW, the optimal configuration limited the heat recovery to 12,199 kW, reducing the shaft work from 1,930 kW to 1,010 kW. The second, a spray dryer case, focused on the integration of electric boilers and the partial process electrification when available excess heat is limited. In this case, 1,520 kW out of 4,640 kW were covered by an electric boiler, with a biomass boiler replacing the electric boiler to cover 3,570 kW if available.

Preliminary study on temperature distribution and pyroelectric current of LiNbO3 heated by nanosecond pulse laser

In order to reduce the volume of compact neutron generators, a lot of investigations are carried out on generating high voltages by heating pyroelectric crystals with external heating. Laser irradiation is an effective non-contact heating method. Different laser parameters determine the crystal's temperature distribution, impacting the accelerating electric field. A preliminary study on the temperature distribution and pyroelectric current response of LiNbO3 heated by nanosecond pulse laser is presented, including both direct heating and heating with Cu and Ti disks adhered to the crystal. A two-dimensional transient heat transfer and circuit model is constructed in COMSOL. To validate the simulation model of temperature field distribution, FLIR thermal camera is utilized to measure the temperature in laser spot center experimentally. The experimental results coincide with simulations, which prove that the simulation model can predict temperature field distribution of the pyroelectric crystal effectively. This study can benefit the optimization of laser parameters for modulating high-quality deuterium ion acceleration fields.
