Economic and Environmental Tradeoffs in Cultivating Short Food Supply Chains With Urban Indoor Agriculture

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study advances the literature on sustainable urban agriculture and alternative sustainable food production systems, which have gained momentum due to the need to strengthen regional food supply chains and meet the growing urban demand for fresh food. Indoor agriculture (IA) holds promise for year‐round cultivation of fresh produce even in

Exploratory Study on Carbon Dioxide Blends With Low‐GWP Working Fluids for Medium and High‐Temperature Heat Pumps Under Step Pressure

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates binary zeotropic mixtures of R744 (CO₂) blended with eco‐friendly refrigerants for medium‐high temperature heat pumps, comparing them with conventional R744/R134a systems. All mixtures meet 60–80 K temperature lift requirements under low‐temperature conditions. A genetic algorithm optimized system parameters using fixed
