However, their extremely small thickness relative to in-plane dimensions introduces substantial difficulties for dynamic numerical simulation. This study proposes a high-efficiency numerical framework that integrates a time-spectral integration strategy with a scaled coordinate transformation boundary element method (SCT-BEM) to overcome these challenges in two-dimensional (2D) composite ultra-thin coating systems. The framework achieves a complete decoupling of temporal and spatial discretization by converting time derivatives into equivalent domain integrals. For the temporal dimension, a time-spectral integration scheme based on Gaussian quadrature and Legendre polynomials is employed, thereby eliminating the restrictive time-step requirements that typically hinder traditional finite-difference approaches. For the spatial domain, SCT techniques are used to transform domain integrals into boundary integrals, ensuring that the classical boundary-only discretization property of the BEM is preserved. Moreover, a sinh-based nonlinear coordinate transformation is introduced to effectively regularize the near-singular integrals produced by the highly slender coating geometry. Four representative numerical examples, including both transient thermal loading and dynamic wave excitation, are presented to demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency of the proposed approach. The results confirm that the integrated time-spectral SCT-BEM framework provides a powerful and reliable numerical tool for long-time dynamic analysis of composite ultra-thin coating structures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":336,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"260 ","pages":"Article 128501"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparison of fitted parameters across three working pairs together with pore-structure differences between MAC and Maxsorb III indicates a mesopore-associated fast branch and a micropore-controlled slow branch. Parameters (<span><math><mrow><mi>α</mi><mo>,</mo><mspace></mspace><msub><mi>k</mi><mn>1</mn></msub><mo>,</mo><msub><mi>k</mi><mn>2</mn></msub></mrow></math></span>) were regressed as functions of pressure and temperature, yielding a global correlation formula that reproduces representative curves with high accuracy. Embedding the correlation in a dynamic two-bed R32/MAC adsorption cooling model yielded a coefficient of performance (COP) of 0.173 and a cooling power (CP) of 1.47 kW under representative conditions (<em>T<sub>evap</sub></em> = 10°C, <em>T<sub>cond</sub></em> = 30°C, <em>T<sub>des</sub></em> = 75°C), suggesting that MAC/R32 is a promising working pair and that the dual-PFO kinetics can facilitate system-level performance evaluation under the examined conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":336,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"260 ","pages":"Article 128471"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
