Pack-Level Modeling and Thermal Analysis of a Battery Thermal Management System with Phase Change Materials and Liquid Cooling

Electric vehicles are seen as the prevailing choice for eco-friendly transportation. In electric vehicles, the thermal management system of battery cells is of great significance, especially under high operating temperatures and continuous discharge conditions. To address this issue, a pack-level battery thermal management system with phase change materials and liquid cooling was discussed in this paper. A dynamic electro-thermal coupled model for cells, the enthalpy–porosity model for phase change materials, and the k-ε model for the coolant flow were used. Various parameters, such as ambient temperatures, discharge rates, components of phase change materials, inlet mass flow rates, and temperatures of the coolant were considered. The results indicated that a battery thermal management system with both phase change materials and liquid cooling is more effective than the one with only liquid cooling. The phase change material with a mass fraction of 10% expanded graphite in paraffin wax had a favorable performance for the battery thermal management system. Additionally, increasing the mass flow rate or decreasing the flow temperature of the coolant can reduce the maximum temperature of the battery pack. However, the former can limit the maximum temperature difference, while the latter will deteriorate the temperature uniformity. The present work may shed light on the design of battery thermal management systems in the electric vehicle industry.

Benchmarking in the logistics management system of Ukrainian enterprises

The relevance of this study is manifested in the need of Ukrainian logistics companies to effectively manage and increase their competitiveness. Establishing benchmark enterprises and applying benchmarking allows identifying best practices and management principles. The use of statistical data on the economic and economic activity of the logistics industry allowed for statistical, parametric and correlation analyzes, which contributes to an objective study of trends in the transport and logistics industry of Ukraine. The proposed hypothesis on the use of a wide sample of statistical data reflects the potential for developing an algorithm and implementing the benchmarking methodology in the logistics industry management system. It is found that motor transport enterprises occupy leading positions in the Ukrainian market of transport and logistics services. Freight and logistics services, in particular transportation of ore products, prevail in the field of motor transport. The analysis of regional peculiarities revealed that Dnipropetrovska oblast, Kyiv and Donetsk oblast are favorable for freight and logistics activities. It was also found that privately owned companies predominate among the specialized enterprises in this industry. The benchmarking analysis confirmed that it is possible to use profile data to identify benchmark enterprises with the best economic performance and to use their experience to improve the competitiveness of other companies. Such analysis reveals the strengths and weaknesses of enterprises, provides opportunities for improvement and development, and facilitates informed decision-making to improve the productivity and quality of logistics processes. Thus, the benchmarking methodology proves to be an effective tool for assessing and comparing the economic and financial performance of logistics companies, contributing to their competitiveness and market position.

Global trends and research hotspots on HACCP and modern quality management systems in the food industry

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and modern quality management systems have a significant impact on public health in the food industry. These systems ensure that food products are safe for consumption by identifying and managing potential hazards at every stage of the production process. To stimulate ongoing studies in both developing and underexplored areas of inquiry, this research synthesizes and organizes the contributions made in this field. It examines more than 40 years of studies from Scopus data base on HACCP and modern quality management systems in the food industry using the VOSviewer software version 1.6.18 (Leiden University, The Netherlands) and bibliometrix R-package. This represents, to the authors’ knowledge, the first bibliometric analysis undergone in this direction. The graphical framework demonstrates the highest developments in research and the literature review investigates barriers and opportunities of implementing HACCP in food industry organizations. Findings indicate that until the beginning of the 1990s, there was not a large number of scientific production in the field of HACCP and modern quality management systems in the food industry. The USA were the most prolific affiliation terms of scientific production until 2012, when studies from Italy, the United Kingdom, China and Greece intensified. Currently, the most prolific country in terms of publications is Italy. In terms of global cooperation, the United Kingdom, The United States and The Netherlands represent most active nations on this topic Motor themes that reflect the main interest of the researchers include food diseases, quality control, hazards or food supply. The study also provides future research directions regarding food quality and safety management. These should be focused on improving the safety, quality, and sustainability of food products, while also adapting to changing consumer demands, emerging risks, and regulatory requirements.

The Soviet Economy in 1930

The fulfillment of the most difficult tasks of the plan for 1930 was complicated by four political and economic events. First of all, a forced collectivization campaign was carried out, which had a disastrous impact on cattle breeding. Then, the industrial management system was rearranged that had a disorganizing effect on the management process. Besides, a credit system was reformed to get rid of the vestiges of the NEP. Furthermore, to intimidate the old intelligentsia, a campaign against wrecking was conducted, accompanied by numerous arrests of old qualified specialists and the dismissal of many others. As a result, it worsened the quality of the economy management at all levels. The chaos in the management and the recruitment of numerous unskilled personnel led to a severe drop in labor productivity in industry and construction. Also, an alternative assessment of the dynamics of national income in 1930 was offered. It was shown that the national income of the USSR in 1930 increased by only 3% instead of the official growth of 19,9%. The slow growth of national income with a significant increase in the savings share in national income led to a severe drop in all material living conditions of the population, aggravated by the acute commodity deficit.

Features of Soviet Industrial Development in 1957–1964 (On the Example of the Mari, Mordovian and Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics)

Introduction and Methods. The relevance of the work is due to the demand for the experience of the economic council reform, including its regional aspect, at the present stage of Russian modernization. The basis of the methodology of the work is the modernization historical paradigm, aimed at the study of various kinds of progressive transformations of society, noted in the process of its development. The main methods used are comparative-historical, historical-cultural, problem-chronological. Results and Discussion. The economic councils of the Mari, Mordovian and Chuvash economic administrative regions already in the first years of their existence showed very worthy economic results. The decentralization of the economic sphere, the removal of bureaucratic “obstacles” stimulated the rapid development of new high-tech industries in all three republics: electrical, machine-building, metalworking, instrument-making, etc. However, having given the industrial development of the Mari, Mordovian and Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics a maximum exhausted itself quickly. Founded in the early 1960s the crisis phenomena were expressed in the growth of isolation of the economic regions headed by economic councils as economic cells striving for self-sufficiency (autarky), which gave rise to a number of problems, in particular in matters of supplies between different economic regions, in drawing up plans and their implementation. The regional material of the studied republics eloquently testifies to the typical (universal) nature of such negative manifestations. Conclusion. For the Mari, Mordovian and Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics, the main result of the economic reform was, in fact, their synchronous transformation from agrarian-industrial to industrial-agrarian regions. The rather rapid pace of this process (1957–1964) can be explained by the decentralization of the economy that occurred as a result of the economic reform, which brought management closer to production and unloaded the industrial management system from excessive bureaucracy. However, the effect of decentralization turned out to be extremely short-lived, since the shortcomings of the territorial administration system soon showed themselves, leading to the rapid exhaustion of its capabilities.

Carbon quota allocation modeling framework in the automotive industry based on repeated game theory: A case study of ten Chinese automotive enterprises

Carbon quota management system is a long-term effective mechanism to promote the sustainable development of automotive industry. However, issues such as the total amount and allocation mechanism of carbon quotas hinder countries' implementation of carbon quota policies in the automotive industry. To address these issues, this study uses the GREET model and system dynamics model to predict carbon emissions in the automotive industry and sets the total carbon quota for China's automotive industry. Furthermore, based on the ZSG-DEA model and Gini coefficient model, this study applies repeated game theory to propose a carbon quota allocation modeling framework for the automotive industry. The results show that the proposed allocation modeling framework achieves a balance between equity and efficiency while taking into account the interests of both the government and enterprises, and achieves an equitable allocation of carbon quotas among 10 representative automotive enterprises. This study can provide reference for the design of carbon quota management system in the automobile industry.

A Hazardous Materials Treatment Business Modelling in the Industry 4.0 Perspective

The today’s world is marked by a massive diffusion of Industry 4.0 concept and, therefore, the quick change of business models implemented in this new scenario. In the systems of circular economy, designed to regenerate themselves, the products maintain their value added for a long period of time producing no waste. After a product’s life cycle is over, the resources remain inside the economic system, and they can be reused for production goals creating new value. This paper develops a proposal aimed to understand the systemic capacity in triggering a closed loop circle for hazardous wastes also in the light of the potentialities offered by the achievements of Industry 4.0 through an industrial system of "glass ceramization" and the realization of tiles of inert material used in the market of public decoration or construction. In such a way, industrial waste management systems find a lever in driving force of the economy and innovation. This paper aims to understand how the Industry 4.0 contributes valorizes hazardous waste through the process of glass ceramization.

A non-functional requirements-based ontology for supporting the development of industrial energy management systems

Non-functional requirements (NFRs) are essential in the development of industrial energy management systems (IEMS). This paper presents a comprehensive ontology model for NFRs in IEMS, derived from an extensive survey of NFRs in both the software industry and the energy domain. The proposed ontology encompasses four critical factors influencing the quality attributes of IEMS: technologies, stakeholders, markets, and regulations. Implemented using the OWL 2 DL standard, the ontology model aims to provide a clear and consistent understanding of NFRs and their relationship to the energy domain, as well as identify which factors have a significant impact on the environmental performance of IEMS. The ontology is evaluated through various methods, such as technical validation, user evaluations, its applications in RDF data management, and application-based evaluation, including software architecture, knowledge base data model design, and regulatory framework design. By understanding the link between software quality requirements and the characterizing factors of the energy domain, as provided by our ontology model, this information can be used to inform life cycle assessments and quantify potential reductions in energy consumption, emissions, waste generation, and other environmental impacts associated with implementing cleaner and more sustainable solutions. The results demonstrate that the proposed ontology effectively supports IEMS development and serves as a foundation for developing reusable and adaptable software systems across different industrial domains.

Cloud manufacturing architectures: State-of-art, research challenges and platforms description

The increasing incorporation of digital technologies in industrial systems in recent years, and their corresponding connection to the Internet of Things, has made it possible to offer production services through the cloud, giving rise to the Cloud Manufacturing production paradigm. This paradigm allows customers and production service providers to meet on a virtual platform, and from there, to generate business opportunities. In turn, different production service providers can associate with each other, in such a way that each one can enhance the level of service they offer or even take advantage of their idle capacity by offering it to other providers. These advantages have increased the interest in Cloud Manufacturing, yielding a wide number of architectures and systems that enable these interactions. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study about these architectures, as well as a review of the current literature on the subject. For this, a systematic review of the literature is reported. Based on an in-depth review of the selected works, we were able to identify the main contributions of the current state of the literature about Cloud Manufacturing architectures. Four lines of research were identified that should be strengthened and expanded in the future to continue with the development of this paradigm. These lines are: (i) digital twins developments, (ii) scheduling and logistics, (iii) services composition and resources sharing and (iv) interoperability. Finally, it is presented an open-source project for Cloud Manufacturing architectures and their implementation, which emerge from the literature review as a promising tool to leverage Cloud Manufacturing technologies.

Quantification of environmental impact potentials within the processes of industrial wastewater treatment system

New innovative management system of industrial wastewater is vital to address the current water demands, energy generation, resource conservation, and mitigating environmental impact from the wastewater treatment processes. For these reasons, the impact assessment of industrial wastewater treatment plant is imperative. Here, we quantified the environmental impact potentials within the processes in the wastewater treatment system considering the life cycle perspective. The treatment system comprises chemical and biological phases. The findings showed that hazardous waste (53.4%) appears as the major contributor of the impact potentials, followed by chemical consumption (38.3%), and electricity (7.5%). Other elements such as activated carbon (0.5%), cationic resin (0.2%), anionic resin (0.03%), and enzymes (0.009%) are relatively smalls in terms of the impact. The reuse of hazardous waste for heat recovery system is one of the initiatives to reduce the impact from hazardous waste generation by 12.2% for 1 m3 of treated water. This assessment may serve as a snapshot on the life cycle perspective of industrial wastewater management system in line with circular economy model that emphasizes rethink, reduce, reuse, and recovery efforts in industrial wastewater treatment management systems.

Numerical simulation of bioconvective Casson nanofluid through an exponentially permeable stretching surface

Nanofluids are a very productive etymology of intensifying the process of heat and mass transport systems linked with the industrial and thermal engineering systems. Nanomaterials have effective thermal properties and various applications in our daily life like in heat transfer, electronic cooling systems, energy production and biomedicine and also in the food industry. Keeping the entire motivating potential ramifications of nanoparticles in mind, this work is visualized in the mathematical model developed to show the heat and mass transport behavior of swimming motile organisms in the existence of the magnetic field, heat conduction source, thermal radiation, chemical processes and viscous dissipation. The flow of mass and heat transport under consideration is governed by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by implementing an eminent method called similarity transform and then numerical results obtained through MATLAB inbuilt package ‘bvp4c’. Numerical solution is visualized through the comparison of Casson fluid results with Newtonian fluid. The impact of numerous nondimensional parameters of temperature, heat transfer, velocity and concentration profiles involved in governing equations is debated and visualized graphically. Furthermore, the effects of parameters and local Nusselt number, motile organism’s number, Biot number, Sherwood number, thermal radiation and microorganism concentration are elaborated through graphical representation. From these results, we clearly see that the velocity profile shows a decrement by raising the values of Buoyancy ratio Nr and Bioconvection Rayleigh number Nc, thermal profile depicted propagation by incrementing the values of Biot and radiation variables, concentration profile decreases by incrementing Lewis parameter Le and microorganisms profile revealed an increase and decrease by the presence of magnetic M and bioconvection Lewis variable Lb, respectively.
