Securing Water in a Changing Climate: A Transient Solar Desalination Model for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents a solar‐powered reverse osmosis (RO) system for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh. Mechanistic modeling reveals a critical seasonal mismatch: during the monsoon, feed water salinity peaks (24.8 ppt) while solar irradiance drops significantly.

Experimental Investigation and ANN‐Based Prediction of CI Engine Performance Fueled With Waste Plastic Oil–Diesel Blends Containing Al2O3 Nanoparticles

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Waste plastic oil–diesel blends enhanced with Al2O3 nanoparticles were experimentally evaluated in a compression ignition engine under varying injection timings and modeled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The optimized WP20PD + 1000 ppm blend improved brake thermal efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while ANN prediction achieved high ...

Design Approaches for Oxygen Reduction Systems for Warehouse Storage Applications

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oxygen reduction systems (ORS) are protection systems, with a design protection objective to limit fire spread beyond the point of ignition. Research has shown that the prescriptive design methods, in VdS 3527, EN 16750, and ISO 20338, are not appropriate as prescriptive design methods as they result in insufficient protection levels.
