Optimization of heating temperature uniformity for multi-microwave source group based on dynamic switching topology

Aiming at the mutual coupling of multiple physical fields in the microwave heating process and the generation of thermal runaway phenomenon, in this paper, a cooperative variable power heating strategy with multi-microwave source clusters under dynamic switching topology is proposed in order to improve the temperature uniformity. Firstly, an algebraic graph theory is used to establish a communication topology for complete information transfer, which is used to construct a distributed structure among multiple microwave source intelligences. Secondly, the dynamic topology switching algorithm under event triggering is introduced, and the real-time temperature distribution of the heated materials is considered to achieve the dynamic switching of the topology connection mode between microwave source clusters in order to synchronously coordinate the power consistency output between different clusters. On this basis, a numerical calculation model is constructed to solve the mixed optimization of integer and continuum variables by means of the finite element method. Finally, the effectiveness of the heating strategy to improve temperature uniformity is verified by microwave heating SiC media simulation calculation. The numerical calculation results show that the temperature uniformity indexes are improved by 34.1%–50.4% and 28.1%–55.2% in each horizontal and vertical section for single materials, and by 59.1%–59.7% and 46.5%–63.4% in each horizontal and vertical section for multi-materials, respectively, in comparison with the general heating method. This strategy effectively avoids the residence of hot and cold spots in the material, which in turn optimizes the temperature distribution.

Optimization-driven artificial intelligence-enhanced municipal waste classification system for disaster waste management

This research addresses the critical challenge of disaster waste management, a growing concern exacerbated by the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters like flooding. Traditional waste systems often struggle with the volume and heterogeneity of disaster waste, highlighting the need for innovative solutions. In this study, we present a novel disaster waste classification model integrating advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and optimization techniques to streamline waste categorization in post-disaster environments. Our approach leverages a dual ensemble deep learning framework. The first ensemble combines various image-segmentation methods, while the second integrates outputs from diverse convolutional neural network architectures. A modified artificial multiple intelligence system serves as a decision fusion strategy, enhancing accuracy at both ensemble points. We rigorously evaluated our model using three datasets: the “TrashNet” dataset for benchmarking against existing methods, as well as two meticulously curated, real-world datasets collected from flood-affected areas in Thailand. The results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing algorithms like VGG19, YoloV5, and InceptionV3 in general solid waste classification, achieving an average improvement of 11.18%. Regarding disaster waste specifically, our model achieves 96.48% and 96.49% accuracy on the curated datasets, consistently outperforming ResNet-101, DenseNet-121, and InceptionV3 by an average of 3.47%. These findings demonstrate the potential of our AI-enhanced model to revolutionize disaster waste management practices. Thus, we advocate integrating such technologies into municipal waste management policies to enhance resilience and optimize disaster responses. Future research will explore scaling the model to diverse disaster types and incorporating real-time data for adaptable waste management strategies.
