Traditionally, an oscillatory motion with a sinusoidal profile has been applied to create this plug-flow. This work investigates the potential of using the shape of the oscillatory profile as a design parameter to enhance plug-flow behavior. The profiles studied are asymmetric deviations from the commonly used symmetrical waves, meaning that the forward or backward motion occurs faster than the opposite stroke. It is demonstrated that profiles with a greater imbalance between the forward and backward strokes result in improved plug-flow behavior. Particle image velocimetry reveals that these asymmetric profiles excite additional superharmonic oscillations on top of the main excitation frequency. These additional oscillations most likely introduce more radial mixing events, resulting in the observed improvement in plug-flow behavior. Wavelet analysis shows that these superharmonics are only briefly present after the rapid forward or backward movement and disappear during the slower opposite stroke. Furthermore, the analysis reveals a positive correlation between the plug-flow behavior and the relative magnitude of these superharmonics compared to the excitation frequency. Therefore, it can be concluded that the shape of the oscillatory profile significantly influences COBR performance. This finding provides researchers with a deeper understanding of COBRs and offers engineers greater flexibility in designing COBRs for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, incorporating functional components often causes a significant reduction in phase change enthalpy, and achieving a thin-film configuration usually comes at the cost of further enthalpy loss, severely limiting their thermal management applications. To address these challenges, we report a flexible, self-healing, and infrared-invisible phase change thin-film based on a vanillin-derived polyurethane skeleton. Multi-step synergistic reactions balance film flexibility and latent heat, avoiding the enthalpy loss trade-off of composite PCMs while retaining a high enthalpy of 101.8 J/g for a thin film. After 100 thermal cycles, the film delivers an enthalpy retention above 96%, proving markedly enhanced thermal stability. The introduced 4-aminophenyl disulfide endows the film with thermal/mechanical self-healing capability. The tensile strength reaches 9.14 MPa and increases by over 60% after heating at 80 °C for 3 h, confirming excellent self-healing ability, thermoplasticity, and adhesion. The film shows an average transmittance of only 2.46% in the 3–25 μm band, indicating good infrared shielding capability, validated by successful infrared image blending on a human hand and a heating plate. Further, the film cools low-power and high-power analog batteries by 4.0 °C and 12.7 °C respectively, while cooling the battery shell by 10 °C, reflecting significant cooling performance. Collectively, this work presents a promising strategy to break the trade-off between multifunctionality and phase change properties in phase change thin-films, offering a flexible, self-healing, and infrared-invisible PCM solution for advanced thermal management.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"182758"},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
