Magnetization curves and Mössbauer spectra were employed to evaluate the macroscopic magnetism of the samples at 300[Formula: see text]K. The results showed that coercivity increased with higher annealing temperatures. Notably, magnetic measurements of the LFCO-900 sample revealed an unusual trend in the M–T curve between 50[Formula: see text]K and 150[Formula: see text]K, likely due to annealing-induced changes in magnetic entropy. Annealing temperature significantly influences LFCO’s magnetic properties. Monte Carlo simulations modeled magnetization’s temperature dependence in disordered systems under varying magnetic field strengths, aligning with observations in LFCO-750. These insights are crucial for furthering understanding of perovskite materials’ physical properties and for enhancing the magnetic entropy effect in such systems, thereby increasing their practical application potential.","PeriodicalId":509298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825003","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}

A nonuniform magnetic field is considered utilizing a disk-shaped magnet located above the two-dimensional fluid. Electric and magnetic forces exerted on the fluid induce a new dynamical features. We perform a numerical study of the dynamics of such two-dimensional fluid system commonly named Liquid Film Motor. The presence of the nonuniform external magnetic field causes changes in the fluid’s behavior. Specifically, the previously symmetric vortex becomes asymmetric under the influence of the magnetic field. In this dynamic behavior, as the external magnetic field increases, the center of the vortex shifts in a direction perpendicular to the electric current passing through the fluid film. The unique combination of electric and magnetic field allows to manipulate the motion of the vortex without resorting to traditional mechanical methods. This finding implies that the motion of the vortex can be directed and controlled by adjusting the strength of the external magnetic field, without the need for direct contact with the fluid or mechanical tools.","PeriodicalId":509298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652797","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}

This cutting-edge system uses the sun’s energy to power the absorption cycle, offering environmentally friendly and economically viable thermal management. Solar thermal collectors, a lithium bromide absorption chiller, a thermal energy storage device, and sophisticated control algorithms comprise the system’s main parts. Sunlight is captured and converted by solar thermal collectors into thermal energy, which is then used to produce the necessary heat for the lithium bromide absorption chiller. This chiller uses the absorption refrigeration cycle to efficiently cool or heat the specified area or process. When intelligent control algorithms are incorporated, the system performs and operates more effectively and efficiently. These algorithms regulate the thermal energy storage unit and optimize the use of solar energy, delivering a constant and dependable supply of cooling or heating as needed. Advanced monitoring and diagnostics features are also built into the system, allowing for remote control and in-the-moment performance evaluation. Disadvantages are ethical issues, lack of generalization, interpretability and complexity, scalability and processing resources, and scientific agreement. A novel Chimp-based recurrent model (CbRM) has been planned to be designed to predict the desired efficiency from the Evacuated Tube Collector (ETC) to overcome this issue. Comparing the Intelligent Solar Assist system to conventional heating and cooling systems, several benefits must be had. It minimizes greenhouse gas emissions, lessens reliance on traditional energy sources, and promotes a more sustainable future. The system also saves money using solar energy, lowering power costs and enhancing energy efficiency. Moreover, the proposed system implementation is done in Matlab. The method achieves the high efficiency of ETC in the range of about 0.9% which increases by 0.3% and the higher rate of COP was about 9.5% which increases up to 6%, as the increased concentration level of the strong solution was about 6.5% it was nearly 5% increase.
