Of various conducting polymers, Polyaniline has gained much attention due to its low cost of monomer, ease of bulk synthesis, high flexibility, and good environmental stability. Nevertheless, the conductivity of polyaniline is rather low when it is prepared under an un-doped state. Despite that, there is no clear information regarding how the valency of a metal dopant and its concentration can affect the electrical characteristics and other physicochemical properties of doped polyaniline. This study aims to fill this research gap by elucidating the changes in the electrical characteristics of polyaniline through metal doping. Polyaniline was synthesized through chemical oxidative polymerization in an HCl medium, followed by a post-doping to produce metal-codoped polyaniline. Three dopant materials, namely AgNO3, Cu(NO3)2, and Fe(NO3)3, were used in this synthesis, representing mono-, di-, and tri-valent metal ions, respectively. Results showed that bare PANI (which was doped with HCl only) exhibited a higher electrical conductance value of 8.44 x 10-7 S, while 1 M of Ag-codoped polyaniline, 1 M of Cu-codoped polyaniline, and 1 M of Fe-codoped polyaniline exhibited electrical conductance values of 1.73 x 10-7 S, 4.27 x 10-8 S, and 2.33 x 10-6 S, respectively. Apparently, the trivalent metal dopant was able to improve the conductivity of polyaniline; however, a detrimental effect resulted when the concentration of Fe3+ was increased to 1.5 M (overdose), resulting in a drop in electrical conductance to 4.66 x 10-8 S. In terms of morphological property, Ag-doped polyaniline exhibited a mixture of plate-like and globule-like structures, while both Cu-doped polyaniline and Fe-doped polyaniline predominantly displayed tiny globule-like structures, likely attributed to the stronger acidity of the Cu(NO3)2 and Fe(NO3)3 solutions. Meanwhile, the presence of several common bands of polyaniline such as N-H, C=N, C-H aromatic, quinoid and benzoid units are detected in the produced samples. The project outcomes are expected to guide tailored development of metal-doped polyaniline for specific electrical applications.","PeriodicalId":506254,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141696721","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}

The pressure drop of the filters is a crucial performance parameter when designing a HEPA filter as it is the resistance that the filter offers to the flow of air. Thus, it is critical to find the effect of each configuration and integrate an optimal setup for the filter to avoid high-pressure drops. Set against these backgrounds, this study aims to study the effect of different configurations on the total pressure drop of the filter, and to review how each configuration can affect each other using a commercial software ANSYS Fluent. The different filter media pack configurations and boundary conditions investigated here are including pleat shape (V-shaped and U-shaped), pleat density (1-7 pleat/cm), pleat height (1cm, 1.3cm), and inlet velocity (0.02-0.2 m/s) on the pressure drop of the filter. A two-dimensional geometrical model is developed, and then validated with respect to the data obtained from Lydall M3004-06 property sheet. Upon successful validation exercise, a series of parametric studies is conducted to numerically examine the impact of changing each configuration on the total pressure drop of the filter. Results show that an optimal pleat density is attained where the total pressure drop is minimized, i.e., 3 pleat/cm for V-shaped and 4 pleat/cm for U-shaped for inlet velocity of 0.02 m/s. At a constant inlet velocity, the U-shaped pleat has a lower pressure drop than the V-shaped pleat at low pleat densities, but a higher pressure drop at higher densities. This behaviour can be attributed to the balance between inertial and viscous resistance. Increasing the inlet velocity increases the total pressure drop for all pleat heights and decreases the optimal pleat density. This effect is less pronounced on the V-shaped pleat. Increasing the pleat height for the U-shaped pleat decreases the pressure drop and optimal pleat density but increases pressure drop in the viscous dominated region. Conversely, increasing the pleat height for the V-shaped pleat decreases the pressure drop for all pleat counts and only decreases the optimal pleat density at high velocity.","PeriodicalId":506254,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141694177","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}

The energy consumptions of the electronic equipment in the data centre are rising regularly, which lead to the thermal management becoming an argent issue to be settled. To realize the sustainable development of green data centre, the passive two-phase vapor chamber (VC) has turned into the focus of electronic cooling research. Constructing nucleation induced structures on the evaporation surface is an effective method to improve the performance of the vapor chamber. To address the problem of achieving enhanced boiling, a novel conical microstructure was designed in the vapor chamber with 50 mm height. The conical structure of 1 mm axial height was fabricated on the evaporation surface by computer numerical control (CNC) machining technology. A visualization experimental system was developed to investigate the effect of the conical microstructure on the two-phase behaviours, and the boiling heat transfer characteristics under different heating conditions (Q\u0000 in = 35 W, 50 W, 65 W) in a confined vapor chamber. The high-speed camera was used to capture the bubble behaviours. Experimental results found that compared with the smooth surface, the integration of the conical structure increasing the number of bubble nucleation sites and the bubble departure frequency. The bubble growth period at stable heating stage is 162 ms shorter than initial heating stage on the evaporation surface with conical structure. The thermal resistance (R\u0000 vc) of vapor chamber with conical structure is improved by 5.85% compared to the smooth one at Q\u0000 in = 65 W, which indicate that the conical microstructure can enhance the boiling heat transfer performance.

Mangosteen rind, although rich in anthocyanins, is normally disposed of as waste after consuming the delicate pulp. Anthocyanins is stored within the membrane cell wall inside the mangosteen rind, and it is usually recovered from the rind using solvent. Hence, this study investigated potential alternative green solvents, e.g., ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents in extracting anthocyanins from mangosteen rind. This study is designed in conjunction with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations, particularly SDG3 where good health and well-being equalities are emphasized and SDG12 in which efficient management of natural resource is addressed. Anthocyanins yield was determined using pH-differential method and result was expressed in milligram of cyanidin-3-glucoside per gram of mangosteen rind (mg cy-3-glu/g). Results showed that mangosteen rind extracted using both ionic liquids e.g., 1-ethy-3metylimidazolium bromide (EMIM) and 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium bromide (BMIM) solutions gave higher anthocyanins yields of 0.72 mg cy-3-glu/g and 0.69 mg cy-3-glu/g, respectively, in comparison to the 50% ethanol and deep eutectic solvents. This study revealed that high viscosity of deep eutectic solvent was the main factor that hindered the penetration of the solvent into the cell membrane of mangosteen rind, as a result, lower anthocyanins yields were obtained. Hence, in bioactive compounds extraction from plant materials, deep eutectic solvent incorporated with ultrasound or microwave is recommended as it could enhance the penetration of solvent into the plant’s matrix.","PeriodicalId":506254,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141703014","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}

PCMs efficiently store excess thermal energy during abundance and release it when renewable generation falls short, ensuring a consistent energy supply. Introducing novel building components is time-intensive, with on-site testing demanding substantial resources. Numerical studies offer an efficient alternative, making modeling tools crucial. These tools facilitate exploration of design concepts under diverse conditions, allowing iterative refinement and optimization.

Considering the application of producer gas (PG) in CI engine, the most potential gases include H2 and CO as main fuel compounds and it is crucial to comprehensively understand the impact of these two gas components on the engine behaviour. Nowadays, artificial intelligence-powered models are frequently applied for simulating engines that run on a single type of fuel. However, their usage is not as common when it comes to modeling dual-fuel CI engines run on synthetic producer gas or syngas. The present study explores the feasibility of optimizing operational parameters, such as engine load and syngas composition, in improving the efficiency and lowering the levels of pollutants emitted by a 3.5 kW CI engine operated under dual fuel (DF) mode using syngas as primary fuel and diesel as pilot fuel. The performance and emission characteristics of syngas (H2:CO) is examined by studying its behaviour in four different combinations. The compositions of syngas are prepared based on the volumetric percentage of the H2 and CO and is inducted into the combustion chamber using a novel venturi-type air-gas mixer. In the present study, an intelligent metaheuristics-based optimization algorithm i.e., Teaching–Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) is developed and introduced, to develop a predictive model within constrained range of engine operating conditions. Further, the algorithm is used to estimate multiple engine performance characteristics simultaneously viz., brake thermal efficiency (BTE), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO). The resultant findings identify the optimal engine load of 68.87% and the ideal syngas composition of 63.9% H2 and 49.5% CO as key parameters for maximizing engine efficiency while minimizing exhaust emission. At these optimized operating condition, 19.49% BTE is observed, while HC and CO emission was found to be 384.6 ppm and 445.33 ppm respectively. This shows the effective and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":506254,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science","volume":"8 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141704246","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}

The rotor blade is appropriate for a Class I wind turbine generator and consists of three LM 43.8P blades. The 2.5 MW gearless wind turbine generator has a rated rotational speed of 16 rpm. An analysis of the LM 43.8P blade’s aerodynamics was carried out using the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory to assess the turbine’s performance at different hub height wind speeds. The study employed three BEM models, including the original BEM concept without correction factors, the BEM Theory by DNV/Ris0, and the BEM Theory obtained from GH Bladed. The rotor radius is 45.1 m, and the blade comprises five different airfoils with a design tip speed ratio of 7.557. The axial and tangential induction factors, lift and drag coefficients, aerodynamic forces, and torque profiles as a function of the nondimensional rotor blade were calculated and compared with the numerical solutions obtained from the BEM models at varying upstream wind speeds. The calculation results revealed that with the original BEM concept, the axial induction factor for this particular blade became larger than 0.5 when the upstream wind speed was less than 7.45 m/s. This suggests that the Momentum Theory becomes invalid for lower wind speeds. However, the thrust force, driving force, and torque may be considerably over-predicted with hub height wind speeds larger than 9.50 m/s. It was found that out of the three models considered, the GH Bladed BEM model bears a striking resemblance with the actual power curve of AV908 with a confidence level above 95%, as indicated by a correlation coefficient of 0.99915 and a t-value of 0.51606 using Student’s t-test, implying that the two power curves have no significant difference.","PeriodicalId":506254,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141703847","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}

The integration of solar energy, biogas energy, and air-source heat pump (ASHP) systems in this proposed work has shown to create effective complementarity and enhances the production efficiency of the existing system. Test and simulation studies have been carried out for this system. The layout of buildings and equipment within a university campus in Beijing is reconfigured and redesigned, incorporating an ASHP into the existing heat source configuration. To begin with, a mathematical model is established for the complementary heating system that incorporates solar energy, a biogas digester, and an ASHP. Subsequently, a dynamic simulation model is developed using the TRNSYS platform, and a corresponding operational control strategy for the multi-energy complementary heating system is proposed. Dynamic simulation and analysis of the newly implemented system are performed using the TRNSYS platform, focusing on energy flow and thermodynamic performance. Throughout the heating season, the solar-biogas integrated system achieves a remarkable assurance rate of up to 79%. Additionally, ASHP maintains a relatively high heating efficiency, coefficient of performance (COP) reaches 3.02. Finally, an economic evaluation of the multi-energy complementary system was conducted based on the annual cost method. This was compared with the clean approach of using only an ASHP unit. The results indicate that the SBHP-HHS is more economical when the anticipated useful life is 6 years or longer. The results indicate that the proposed can achieve significant energy-saving and carbon-reduction benefits in rural areas, catering to their heating needs.","PeriodicalId":506254,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science","volume":"5 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141696802","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}
