In this study, the recently proposed generalized performance evaluation plot is used to assess comprehensive flow performance.

The thermal–hydraulic performances of four discontinuous-fin PCHE channels including rectangle fin channel (RTFC), airfoil fin channel (AFFC), rhombus fin channel (RBFC) and slotted fusiform fin channel (SFFC) are numerically compared. The pressure drop of RTFC is the largest and that of SFFC is the smallest. The flow separation and flow stagnation are the main reasons for flow resistance. Suppressing separated flow is the principal way for PCHE drag reduction. The comprehensive hydraulic performance of SFFC is the best, followed by the AFFC and RBFC, and that of RTFC is the worst. The SFFC is more compact than the AFFC and RBFC. The fin slotting contributes to enhancing PCHE compactness. The SFFC PCHE with low pressure loss and compact structure is preferred for the S-CO<sub>2</sub> cycle.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8201,"journal":{"name":"Applied Thermal Engineering","volume":"281 ","pages":"Article 128490"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145264399","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}

Steady-state heat transfer experiments were conducted using air as the working fluid for Reynolds number ranging from 6,000 to 25,000. The convective heat transfer coefficient for a unit cell which lies in the periodic heat transfer regime is reported for the two asymmetric end walls of the Kagome lattice. Complementary numerical simulations were conducted for Reynolds number of 10,000 to elucidate the flow and thermal transport within a periodic unit cell. The study reveals that the end wall with two forward facing struts inclined toward the incoming flow (Wall A) exhibited consistently higher heat transfer compared to the end wall with a single forward-facing strut (Wall B). The velocity and turbulence field data along with normalized temperature distributions in both solid and fluid domains are presented to provide insights into the local heat transfer characteristics at the endwalls. The key contributions of this work include the thermal transport characterization of inline arrangement of Kagome unit cells and detailed description of the local differences in the conjugate heat transfer characteristics of the two asymmetrical walls. Such properties make the Kagome topology suitable for applications which require high rates of heat dissipation on one of the walls, while the opposite wall is not directly subjected to heat load, for example, in heat sinks for electronics thermal management. Furthermore, the k-ω SST turbulence model is recommended for further studies related to Kagome unit cell due to its accuracy in predicting global flow and thermal transport quantities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8201,"journal":{"name":"Applied Thermal Engineering","volume":"280 ","pages":"Article 128565"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145217119","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}

This study systematically evaluates the performance of Deep Q-Networks (DQN) for multi-chiller control through co-simulation with EnergyPlus. The analysis covers four aspects: hyperparameter optimization, baseline DQN performance, evaluation of control timesteps, and assessment under diverse climate scenarios. An optimal set of hyperparameters (learning rate 0.01, discount factor 0.8, and exploration decay 0.9999) enabled stable convergence and measurable energy savings. Compared to the conventional Uniform Load (UL) method, the DQN approach achieved up to 7.1% reduction by operating chillers in efficient part-load ratio ranges. In addition, despite unexpected constraints, the model autonomously learned from data to achieve stable and efficient control, delivering additional savings compared to UL and SL, maximizing COP under low-load conditions, and substantially reducing inefficient operating hours. Shortening the control timestep from 60 to 10 min yielded an additional 1% of savings but increased computation time by over 300%, highlighting the trade-off between precision and cost. Across climate zones, the framework delivered savings ranging from 2.0% to 17.4%, demonstrating better performance under low-load conditions. Moreover, model trained in 4A climate zone generalized effectively to others, with performance differences within 11.8% of locally trained models, demonstrating strong transferability. Overall, this study illustrates the performance of DQN and underscores its key characteristics across different scenarios, providing insights into effective parameter choices and achievable performance.

With the support of zeta potential, the stability behaviour of the hybrid nanofluid was analyzed and found to exhibit better stability. The Lauric acid PCM was capable of storing and releasing a maximum of 2567 kJ and 2501 kJ of thermal energy, respectively, along with enhanced melting and solidification durations. Furthermore, the current setup, featuring bio-based PCM and 5 vol% of hybrid nanofluid, has achieved an average energy saving of 0.712 kWh/day.

This results in significant discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental results. To address this issue, this paper proposes an improved temporal distribution function for the pulse heat source power density.

In the modified cycle, the vapor-injection compressor could decrease the pressure ratios for each stage compression process, resulting in higher compressor efficiency. Furthermore, two vapor–liquid separators associated with two cascade heat exchangers are used to achieve much more effective phase separation for the low-boiling component, leading to performance enhancement. A thermodynamic evaluation of the MARC with zeotropic mixture R290/R170 was carried out under various operating conditions and compared with the conventional ARC.

By investigating the effect of different parameter variations on the two cycles’ performance, it was found that in the modified cycle, the vapor quality at the second separator inlet and the condenser outlet temperature have a considerable effect on the coefficient of performance and exergy efficiency.
