However, the computational demands of these models, incorporating phase change effects and resolving PCM movement in the liquid state, are substantial. From experiments suggesting that conduction in the solidified PCM around the finned tube dominates heat transfer during the heat discharge process, this article introduces a simplified CFD-based model in which convective flow of the PCM is neglected. The model is experimentally validated using a 1-m-long axially finned heat exchanger prototype with four fins, recording temperatures under different water flow rates and orientations (horizontal and vertical). Results show that the proposed model predicts outlet water temperature satisfactorily, with absolute errors below 1.0°C and 2.2°C for the horizontal and vertical orientations, respectively.

It was found that the coconut shells produced crumpled multilayered graphene, rice husks (RHs) provided a mix of graphene layers and amorphous carbon, wheat straw yielded few-layered graphene, and sugarcane bagasse contributed to different graphene-like materials. This review has also focused on the various synthesis processes, such as carbonization, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), chemical activation, pyrolysis, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and Hummers' method for graphene fabrication from LCB waste, along with their advantages and disadvantages, for a better understanding. Various results have been discussed exploring the use of lignocellulosic biomass-derived graphene (LCB-G) and its various modified forms for hydrogen storage applications. Various challenges in graphene fabrication from LCB, such as low yield, product quality, scalability, use of expensive synthesis methods, and toxic chemicals, along with some potential solutions, have been mentioned.

In order to enhance energy efficiency via waste heat recovery, we provide and analyze a novel integrated energy system that utilizes PEMFC and ORC technology. There are a lot of ways to put the waste heat from fuel cells (FCs) to good use, but the most efficient one is the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with the right working fluid. This research aims to find the optimal way to use the waste heat of the FC by testing several working fluids. The optimal solution is derived using a genetic algorithm by monitoring the objective functions that characterize the system's overall performance as they vary across different system parameters. The results show that the proposed efficient integration achieves high energy and exergy efficiency levels and achieves rates of total cost and environmental impact that are within acceptable limits. Since the fuel usage element's content significantly affects the system indicators in several ways, the results also demonstrate that it is quite relevant. Since the exergo-environmental metric and the exergy efficiency meter are always moving in different directions, choosing a design condition that meets several requirements is crucial.

The study utilizes the IEEE 34 Bus system and conducts 3888 simulations for different scenarios to assess the impact of the quantity and placement of EVs in parking lots. The study applies the Monte Carlo method to compare the performance of different proposed controls: (i) limiting the charging current to a fixed level and (ii) varying the current based on the voltage droop step. Furthermore, Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulations were carried out to validate the hierarchical control using the droop step control, demonstrating the best average performance in the previous scenarios. The findings indicated that the control responded within the expected timeframe and successfully addressed voltage sag issues, maintaining PQ in the distribution system in most cases, with its performance being influenced by the placement of parking lots in the network.
