Flexible peak regulation tends to cause over-temperature in superheaters of boiler, which in turn leads to tube bursting. In response to this problem, this paper analyzes the wall temperature variations of the superheater in a 1000 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired unit during flexible load operation. It was found that the wall temperatures of the low-temperature superheater, platen superheater, and high-temperature superheater exhibited complex variations with significant temperature differences. In particular, the platen superheater showed more measuring points with maximum temperature difference under different electrical loads, reaching up to 165.1 °C, with minimum of the maximum temperature difference being 87.0 °C. The ceiling superheater, rear vertical shaft superheater, and horizontal flue bottom superheater experienced relatively uniform heating. Additionally, the study found that at a load of 643.9 MW, most of the superheaters experienced relatively uniform heating. These findings provide valuable references for operational control.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009150","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 explores the integration of recycled aluminum cans (A) and conch shells (Edampuri Sangu, CS) into single-basin solar still absorber configurations (SSACS) to enhance thermal efficiency and freshwater yield. In parallel, Decision Tree (DT) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms were employed to evaluate optimal SSACS site suitability and to predict thermal performance under real meteorological conditions. High-potential regions at KL University, Vijayawada, India, were analyzed using DTRF models, supported by precise quantification of operational parameters including productivity, solar irradiance, wind velocity, and ambient temperature for comprehensive thermodynamic assessment. Experimental results revealed distinct performance across absorber configurations: basin water temperatures reached 41.16 °C (A), 56.66 °C (CS), 46.83 °C (ACS), and 44.83 °C (WoACS). The ACS combination produced the highest moist air temperature (58.16 °C) and achieved the maximum daily distillate flux of 6.435 L/m<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2</ce:sup>, surpassing ‘A’ (3.321 L/m<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2</ce:sup>) ‘CS’ (4.342 L/m<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2</ce:sup>) and WoACS (2.469 L/m<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2</ce:sup>), with an overall photo-thermal conversion efficiency of 43.63 %. These outcomes represent a ∼60 % performance improvement compared to baseline. Glass cover temperatures, ranging between 37.66 °C and 41.16 °C, highlighted the role of absorptive media in regulating condensation efficiency. Machine learning validation confirmed strong correlations (R &gt; 0.95) between basin/glass temperatures and freshwater yield, with DTRF analysis achieving superior predictive accuracy for identifying optimal zones, classified as “superior potential echelons”: 0.19 (A), 0.13 (CS), and 0.35 (ACS). Implementation of DTRF paradigms augmented diurnal freshwater throughput by 41 %, while direct integration of ACS independently elevated yield by 45 %, culminating in approximately 60 % enhancement when ACS was applied as the primary absorptive medium. The findings establish that specialized absorptive materials, when coupled with advanced machine learning models, constitute the most effective architectural refinement for SSACS efficiency. The novelty of this research lies in the dual application of sustainable, low-cost recycled absorbers and predictive DTRF modeling, offering both improved thermal performance and reliable yield forecasting. This hybrid experimental–computational framework provides a scalable pathway for optimizing solar still designs, ensuring sustainable freshwater production in water-stressed regions while contributing to India's and the global renewable energy agenda.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009106","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}

However, commercially available low-transmittance electrochromic glass is not suitable for winter scenarios in high latitudes and cold regions, and it may increase a building's year-round energy consumption. Therefore, this paper conducted a year-long simulation experiment utilizing Grasshopper and Ladybug Tools software to evaluate the alterations in EUI, DA, and UDI of electrochromic glass across diverse light transmittance ranges. In addition, another factor affecting the energy consumption of a building, WWR, is investigated. The experimental results indicate that in a cold region such as Qingdao City, the optimal transmittance range for reducing building energy consumption is 40 %–90 %, while at 70 % WWR can minimize the annual energy consumption, which allows the EUI to drop by 14.3 %, or 36.39 kWh/m<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2</ce:sup>, compared with the traditional glass at 30 % WWR. Electrochromic glass in the range of 0.1 %–90 % transmittance is more suitable when WWR exceeds 70 %. When targeting indoor light sufficiency, electrochromic glass in the 40 %–90 % transmittance discoloration range is the best choice, with 50 % WWR being the most optimized choice. In scenarios where the primary objective is to ensure indoor visual comfort, electrochromic glass in the 0.1 %–40 % transmittance range emerges as the optimal solution. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the design, production, and application of electrochromic glass, in addition to offering fundamental data for the optimization of various control strategies.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009151","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}

The ageing effect on the combustion of a specific cable type (ZR-YJV cable) with various cable spacings under the cone calorimeter was investigated. According to the thermal ageing mechanism of cable sheath and insulation, the ageing temperature and ageing time of the cable sample in the experiment were clarified. When the ageing duration is less than 20 days, the time to ignition (TTI) is similar whatever the cable spacing. The spacing configuration becomes the dominant factor affecting TTI when the aging duration exceeds 20 days, resulting in significantly prolonged TTI. The first and second peaks of the heat release rates (PHRR<ce:inf loc=\"post\">1</ce:inf> and PHRR<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf>) exhibit a non-monotonic response to ageing, decreasing initially before increasing. The turning point for this transition depends on spacing: PHRR<ce:inf loc=\"post\">1</ce:inf> reached its minimum at 10 days for 0D-spaced cables, but at 20 days for 1D and 2D spaced cables. The time to reach the PHRR<ce:inf loc=\"post\">1</ce:inf> and PHRR<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf> of aged cables at 0D spacing (105–166s) are considerably longer than that at 1D or 2D (87–125s).

The Fire growth index and the Fire performance index values also decreased and then increased after the 20-day threshold, confirming that the highest fire hazard consistently occurred at a 1D cable spacing.

Key findings include: both freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles adversely affect soil internal friction angle and cohesion, with established quantitative relationships between these mechanical parameters and the number of coupled cycles; rainfall triggers rill sidewall collapse, leading to abrupt particle loss that rapidly peaks; through theoretical analysis and experimental data, we propose a computational method that accurately predicts crack initiation locations at rill sidewall crests and determines critical instability thresholds.

A unique flame pattern consisting of dual flames with a smaller one inside the nozzle was identified. Besides, at large inlet velocities, the flame temperature at an expansion ratio (<ce:italic>γ</ce:italic>) of 1.4 shows a largest increase by 45.6 K compared to straight micro-nozzle.
