A Critical Assessment of Bonding Descriptors for Predicting Materials Properties

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The impact of new bonding descriptors in machine learning models for predicting material properties is assessed. Improvements are validated using significance tests, and new, intuitive descriptors for screening lattice thermal conductivity and projected force constants are introduced.

Research on Heat Transfer Enhancement of Spiral Grooved Tube Heat Exchangers Based on CFD and Artificial Intelligence

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Driven by the energy crisis and carbon neutrality goals, high‐efficiency heat exchange equipment has become a core demand in the industrial sector. The spiral grooved double‐pipe heat exchanger exhibits significant heat transfer enhancement advantages, yet it requires balancing heat transfer efficiency and pressure loss.

Residual Strength Prediction of Chemically Reactive Two‐Phase Nanofluid Flow in a Bingham–Papanastasiou Rheological Theory Using a Morlet‐Based Wavelet Neural Network Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The behavior of nanofluid flow involving a zero‐mass flux condition has received considerable interest because of a realistic scenario. In reality, this condition confines the optimistic accumulation or disappearance of nanoparticles past a sheet, constructing a more physically realistic demonstration through several applications, such as heat

Evaluation of Varnishes to Slow Down the Aging of Plasticized PVC

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Varnish effectiveness in plasticized PVC strongly depends on both formulation and degradation state. A polyurethane varnish effectively limits color change and plasticizer loss in unaged PVC without phosphate plasticizers, whereas no protective effect is observed for phosphate‐containing PVC.

ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention paid by companies to sustainability, there is still evidence of environmental, social and governance (commonly referred to as ESG) scandals. As research on this topic is scant, this paper aims to analyse the impact of ESG controversies on firms' sustainability practices, that is, ESG policies, as well as ...

WSPLK: A systematic approach to the thermodynamic characterization of light and heavy Mexican crude oil

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A streamlined characterization framework (WSPLK) is presented for modelling complex reservoir fluids using cubic equations of state. The key methodological contribution is the introduction of a single global parameter ε directly into Pedersen's boiling‐point correlation, restoring pure‐component calibration and eliminating the need for ...

Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses increasing transition risks for the banking sector, as financial institutions remain exposed to fossil fuel activities despite growing sustainability commitments. This study examines whether corporate governance influences banks' decisions to adopt fossil fuel divestment policies.

Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Development and Validation of a Seismic Design Method for Anchored Retaining Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls with multiple anchor levels are widely used as permanent excavation support systems for the construction of linear infrastructures. Yet, their seismic behaviour remains largely unexplored, and current design approaches rely on conventional procedures that do not adequately reflect the actual dynamic response of these systems ...

Exact Computation of the Color Function for Triangular Element Interfaces

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We propose a robust algorithm, the Front2VOF algorithm, to compute the color function for triangular element interfaces in Front‐Tracking methods on a Cartesian mesh. ABSTRACT The calculation of the volume enclosed by curved surfaces discretized into triangular elements and a cube is of great importance in different domains, such as computer graphics ...
