However, it is not computationally feasible to implement the detailed composition into numerical solvers in combustion chamber design. Surrogate mixtures are used to facilitate calculations, which can reproduce the fuel characteristics with fewer components providing reasonable accuracy. Target properties are selected to characterize atomization, evaporation, and chemistry, and the composition is optimized. Even biodiesels, promising alternatives to conventional hydrocarbon fuels, are composed of numerous species. There are dominant components, which can imply the possibility of composition reduction. However, the sensitivity of target properties used for surrogate optimization to composition reduction is seldom discussed in the literature. The motivation of this work is to fill this gap by evaluating representative biodiesel samples with computational models. Fuel volatility shows higher sensitivity to component reduction than properties affecting atomization and chemical reactions. The distillation curve cannot consider the ambient temperature used in further simulations; however, it is decisive in the inclusion of less volatile components since they can extend the droplet lifetime by 60% at temperatures below 600 K. Therefore, the application of the droplet evaporation rate as a target property and its sensitivity to component reduction are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://aiche.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ep.14628","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145021914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using cumulative amplitude ratio method of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, this paper classifies coal pore system of ten samples and analyzes the function of each pore system on coal physical property. Following cognitions are achieved. Ten samples can be divided into four types, and they are all developed type, diffusion pore dominated type, cleat dominated type, and permeation pore dominated type. Both maximum vitrinite reflectance and apparent density have slight positive relationships versus volumetric percentage of diffusion pore, while slight negative relationships with volumetric percentage of cleat. Porosity has a slight negative correlation with volumetric percentage of diffusion pore and a slight positive relationship with volumetric percentage of permeation pore. Irreducible water saturation has a linear relationship versus volumetric percentage of diffusion pore added by 40% of volumetric percentage of permeation pore. Permeability has an exponential relationship versus volumetric percentage of cleat added by 50% of volumetric percentage of permeation pore. It indicates that permeation pore acts as a combination of movable water and irreducible water, and both of them occupy nearly a half the volume of the entire permeation pore. However, as for permeation pore, its function to influence permeability is more emphatic than that to influence irreducible water saturation. It is of great significance to deeply investigate the pore function on gas and water migration and can be useful to guide the engineering processes during coalbed methane drainage and CO2 geological sequestration.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145022370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored various flow channel designs, including Wider Serpentine Flow Field (WSFF), Single Serpentine Flow Field (SFF), Wavy Serpentine Flow Field (WASFF), and Split Serpentine Flow Field (SPSFF). For each flow field design, the fuel cell was tested under variable operating conditions, such as Cell Operating Temperature (COT), Anode Humidification Temperature (AHT), Cathode Humidification Temperature (CHT), Anode Flow Rate (AFR), Cathode Flow Rate (CFR), and Operating Pressure (OP). The optimal conditions were determined to be a COT of 60°C, AHT of 70°C, CHT of 60°C, AFR of 300 sccm, CFR of 350 sccm, and OP of 3 bar. A comparative analysis of the four flow fields at these optimal conditions revealed that the SPSFF design achieved the highest cell performance, while the WSFF design resulted in the lowest. Additionally, the effect of clamping torque on the optimized SPSFF was analyzed, with a torque range of 4–8 N-m.

A complex large-scale system mathematical model is established with the head loss of the water distribution network pipeline as the coupling constraint condition; the hydraulic retention time of the constructed wetland, the economic flow rate of the water distribution pipeline, and the optional standard pipe diameter of the pipeline as the feasible domain constraint conditions; the height of the constructed wetland pool and diameter of the water distribution branch and trunk as the decision variables; and the minimum total annual cost of vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands and water distribution engineering as the objective function. This model is first optimized through orthogonal experiments. Under different experimental combinations, the large system decomposition–dynamic programming aggregation method is used to obtain the annual cost target value of the project. The range analysis method is then employed to obtain the optimal experimental combination. Thereafter, the large system decomposition–dynamic programming aggregation method is used to obtain the minimum annual cost target value of the project and the optimal values of the above decision variables. In this article, the vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland and water distribution engineering of a sewage treatment plant in Jiangsu is chosen as an example for comparative analysis of the conditions before and after optimization.

EAHE systems hold potential for enhancing thermal comfort in various settings, such as residential buildings, offices, and laboratories. However, field experiments are constrained by factors like uncontrolled environments, limited repeatability, and extensive land requirements. Therefore, a laboratory test setup featuring variable diameters was constructed, and experiments were carried out to assess system performance across different climatic zones. The study reveals that smaller pipes exhibit the most significant rise in outlet temperature at lower air velocities, while the effectiveness of EAHE diminishes with increasing airflow velocity. Furthermore, smaller-diameter pipes outperform larger ones. The simulated results were validated with experimental data, indicating disparities in Nusselt numbers and friction factors among the pipes. The maximum differences observed were 9.18%, 10.9%, and 11.2% for Nusselt numbers and 6.21%, 11.22%, and 9.45% for friction factors, respectively, for smaller, medium, and larger diametric pipes. These variations between simulation and experimentation can be attributed to human errors, procedural discrepancies, and environmental influences.

The validations were conducted under a wide range of weather fluctuations, including varying irradiance, temperature gradients, complex partial shading levels, and dynamic sun irradiation. The results of the simulation show that the proposed method performs better than some of the most widely used metaheuristic approaches, exhibiting notable gains in energy yield of over 99.7% efficiency with a response time of less than 10 ms, reducing steady-state error (SSE) to less than 0.2%. Experimentally, the proposed technique has been put into practice and evaluated in a variety of additional weather scenarios using a solar simulator and a microcontroller (TMS320F28335) as the main part of the implemented setup. In all tests that were carried out, the reliable and stable response with an efficiency of over 99% was approved.

The results of the chemical analysis showed that the unburned material was less than 1% in the bottom ashes and less than 7.3% in the fly ashes. For all the performed tests, a SO2 removal efficiency of 75.8% was reached, and the results indicate that the gas can be used to generate other sulfur compounds.
