The simulations examined the atomic, MP, and thermodynamic properties of atomic structures while examining and equilibrating them. After 10 ns of equilibration at 300 K and 1 bar, samples were convergent and the simulation parameters were confirmed. The addition of GO-NPs significantly enhanced TPs and MPs, with optimal improvements observed at a 2 % concentration. Specifically, increasing GO-NP content from 0.5 % to 2 % resulted in increases in heat flux from 680.95 to 714.09 W/m², thermal conductivity from 0.69 to 0.93 W/m·K, and Young's modulus from 5.91 to 6.63 MPa. This is while increasing GO-NP content from 0.5 % to 2 % resulted in decreases in both the mean square displacement and glass transition temperature (Temp) to 0.22 Å²and 318 K, respectively. However, further increasing the GO-NP concentration to 5 % led to a decrease in HF and TC, likely due to nanoparticle agglomeration, which also reduced mechanical strength and increased MSD and Tg. This study underscores the importance of optimizing GO-NP concentration, with 2 % identified as the most effective for enhancing the properties of PU/PCL/GO-NCs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 102933"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590123024011885/pdfft?md5=31cc558ad2292c568ba5fa07fb44e27f&pid=1-s2.0-S2590123024011885-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142312529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizations have been actively trying to adopt circular economy (CE) principles in various industrial sectors in recent years due to the increased global attention toward attaining sustainability. This study, therefore, proposes an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique, combining the Pythagorean fuzzy (PF) theory with the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method to prioritize and analyze the interrelationships within the challenges affecting the adoption of CSC practices in the glass manufacturing industry in a growing economy like Bangladesh. The challenges were initially identified through a review of existing literature. Following expert validation, seventeen components were chosen for analysis using the PF-DEMATEL framework. The obtained results suggest that \"lack of consumer awareness and drive for circular practices\",\" inadequate regulatory framework for waste management and environmental protection\", and \" limited market demand for remanufactured products\" are the most important challenges affecting the adoption of CSC in the glass manufacturing industry with prominence value 7.872, 7.614, and 7.315, respectively. Furthermore, the primary contributing factor is the \"lack of consumer awareness and drive for circular practices\", followed by \"inadequate waste collection fleet\" and \"limited market demand for remanufactured products\", which have causal weights of 0.77, 0.464, and 0.353, respectively.

At the end a comparison is illustrated in graphical form between current studied fluid (i.e. OBNF), another non-Newtonian fluid (i.e. Maxwell Nanofluid (MWNF)) and Newtonian fluid.

Three cooling plate designs were proposed with channel arrangements: arc, convergent–divergent and different channel widths (narrow central channels and wide peripheral channels). The other four proposed cooling plate designs included representations of variable-sized pin fins with different shapes: oval, drop, rhombus and trapezoidal within different channel widths. Real experiments were conducted on a manufactured conventional cooling plate to verify the results of the numerical simulation. Results indicated that all proposed designs improved the heat transfer of the cooling plate. The percentage of enhancement in Nusselt number due to the presence of rhombus-shaped pin fins inside different channel widths is approximately 95.5 %, which is about three times the enhancement in pin fins that used only smooth different channel widths, which is approximately 33.5 %. Amongst the studied designs, incorporating different channel widths with the addition of rhombus-shaped pin fins exhibited the largest heat dissipation capacity and the best thermal–hydraulic performance.

Hitherto, numerical models are developed to rectify the blockage troubles that introduce an additional complex case-based mathematical modeling to reckoning the results. In the current paper novel approach to redesigning the tunnel to solve blockage troubles is investigated that facilitates evading of mathematical techniques and securing accurate results straightforwardly. A hypothetical design incorporating the remedies is proposed, capable of conditioning the flow in a manner that debilitates the adverse effects of solid blockage, wake blockage, jet expansion, etc. The hypothesis is theoretically expounded by the boundary layer and jet flow phenomenon.
