To improve its lower thermal efficiency and maximum power generation, an Internal Heat Exchanger (IHE) is proposed after the expansion scroll expander. Using a small-scale scroll expander ORC testing facility as the simulation model, this study analyzes the net thermal efficiency and energy consumption of the ORC system with and without the IHE under conditions of equivalent power output. While the working fluid's outlet temperature in the evaporator was adjusted from 70 to 130 degrees Celsius, the outlet condenser temperature was kept constant at 55, 60, and 65 degrees Celsius. In the numerical simulation of the small-scale ORC, five distinct working fluids, including R245fa, R123, R1233zd, n-Pentane, and R141b were assessed. The results indicated that R245fa had the largest recuperation effect on the working fluid, followed by n-Pentane, R1233zd, R123, and R141b, with a total thermal energy reduction of 3.34 kW, 2.63 kW, 2.06 kW, 1.9 kW, and 0.92 kW, respectively.

As its load will vary during operation, the PEMFC system have to manage the fuel feed following load variations. In this study, a dead-end anode-type PEMFC system with a rated power of 1 kW is used to investigate its performance under current loading rates of 0–28 A in steady-state conditions. From the test results, the empirical models were derived and simulated in MATLAB. The test is conducted by measuring the PEMFC stack’s current, voltage, hydrogen flow rate, and purging behavior. The experimental results show a nonlinear correlation between stack current and voltage as well as its efficiency of hydrogen consumption to the electricity generated. The hydrogen flow rate exhibits a linear relationship to the generated power output in normal operation, neglecting the purging flow rate. Meanwhile, the total consumed hydrogen, including purging process, performs an exponential result which indicates more hydrogen was consumed for purging. Moreover, the observed purging behavior shows that the load current affects the purging interval time in an exponential decay manner. Some possible control methods are then discussed to control the hydrogen flow that dynamically follow the load variation and enable a not-complete purge; thus, the hydrogen consumption could be optimized and the excess hydrogen during the purging could be minimized.","PeriodicalId":12085,"journal":{"name":"Evergreen","volume":"375 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135691596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are multiple Blockchain frameworks and networks for different use cases but still seems to be a gap in how different frameworks, protocols, and ledgers interact with each other. With the increase in the adoption of Blockchains, there is an increasing need for suitable interoperable solutions so that more value can be provided to the end user. This research focuses on analyzing how current Blockchain bridges are built and evaluating common security risks and countermeasures within the scope of interoperability. A threat model is proposed to analyze blockchain interoperability's various components, vulnerabilities, risks, and corresponding mitigation techniques. Common security vulnerabilities like centralization of trust and vulnerable smart contracts and others were identified and classified based on the kind of bridge component along with possible mitigations. Each solution, like Relays, HTLCs, Notary Schemes, and Smart Contracts, is explored. Thus, the study will help developers understand the risks involved by providing insights and pointing out the need for standardization on Blockchain interoperable solutions.","PeriodicalId":12085,"journal":{"name":"Evergreen","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135690291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combustion is one of the major ways of energy conversion that produces very high amount of pollutant emission, as such the research arena has been taken over by coming up with combustion processes that are cleaner and efficient by the combustion engineers. Flameless combustion is one of the new techniques discovered by researchers to suppress NOx emission due to the low temperature inside the combustion zone that is well below the dissociation temperature of Nitrogen. Homogenous or proper mixing is another major factor that enhances combustion efficiency. An asymmetric swirling combustor is a unique shaped combustor that was developed by researchers in order to enhance better mixing inside the combustion zone without the need for an external swirler. The review investigated several parameters such as temperature uniformity, fuel flexibility and level of pollutant emission as discussed by researchers and it was found that the asymmetric swirling combustor is very efficient with temperature uniformity of about 0.9, thermal efficiency of 53% and very low NOx and CO of about 2ppm and 24ppm according to researchers. It was recommended that the combustor should be investigated under different flow configurations i.e. forward and reverse flow in order to know the optimum direction of flow for the asymmetric swirling combustor.","PeriodicalId":12085,"journal":{"name":"Evergreen","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135690527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
