Versatile Liquid Metal/Alginate Composite Fibers with Enhanced Flame Retardancy and Triboelectric Performance for Smart Wearable Textiles. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh), 2023
Versatile liquid metal/alginate composite fibers are designed by wet‐spinning method through bimetallic ions chelation strategy. With liquid metal droplets in alginate fibers, smoldering is suppressed, which improves the flame retardancy. These fibers with superior flexibility, high/low temperature tolerance, and water/salt resistance, can be woven ...

An Investigation of Non‐Spherical Smoke Particles Using CATS Lidar

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 128, Issue 23, 16 December 2023., 2023
Abstract Smoke particles originating from biomass burning events are typically assumed to be spherical, yet non‐spherical smoke particles are also reported from in situ observations. The spatial and temporal distributions of non‐spherical smoke particles, which could have impacts on passive‐ and active‐based satellite aerosol retrievals, are not yet ...

Waste heat recovery of the hydrogen–water mixture from high‐temperature water electrolysis by cascade heat pump for steam generation

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 3070-3081, September 2023., 2023
A cascade heat pump is used to absorb latent heat of steam condensation. After twice compressions, the temperature of the working fluid is sufficiently high to vaporize liquid water. The heat pump fully utilizes thermal energy instead of direct electric heating, saving 65% of power consumption. Abstract Waste heat recovery is common in high‐temperature

Review of fire experiments in mass timber compartments: Current understanding, limitations, and research gaps

Fire and Materials, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 415-432, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The use of mass timber in buildings instead of non‐combustible materials has benefits in sustainability, aesthetics, construction times, and costs. However, the uptake of mass timber in modern construction for medium and high‐rise buildings is currently hindered by uncertainty regarding safety and structural performance in fire.

Design Strategies for Strain‐Insensitive Wearable Healthcare Sensors and Perspective Based on the Seebeck Coefficient

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Various strain‐insensitive design strategies that are acceptable for substantial human body deformations are discussed and their efficacy is thoroughly assessed. Then, an alternative, potentially effective strategy defined by the inherent strain insensitivity of Seebeck coefficient of nanomaterial percolation networks is demonstrated.

Comparative Analysis of Swirl Burner and Cross Jet Burner in Terms of Efficiency and Environmental Performance

Journal of Combustion, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The article contains a comparative analysis of two types of burners used in different methods of fuel‐air mixture preparation: (1) vortex mixing and (2) mixing with transverse jets. The analysis was carried out in order to determine which one of the two burning devices is more efficient and has better environmental performance. In device no.

Low Formaldehyde Binders for Mineral Wool Insulation: A Review

Global Challenges, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Traditional phenol‐formaldehyde‐urea binders used in mineral wool insulation products release formaldehyde during their manufacture and service lifetime. This review examines recent strategies for achieving low‐ or zero‐formaldehyde binders, such as through the use of scavenging molecules that decrease formaldehyde emissions, as well as formaldehyde ...

High‐temperature technology survey and comparison among incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification systems for water resource recovery facilities

Water Environment Research, Volume 94, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Solids generated during wastewater treatment require dedicated processing, dictated in part by intended end use. Landfill costs, land application challenges, and unregulated contaminant concerns have driven wastewater treatment providers to consider alternative solids handling processes that reduce the final residual mass and destroy polluting ...
