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

Research on Optimization of Flow Field and Combustion Performance in Boilers With Combined Near‐Wall Air Supply Systems

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the pulverized coal boiler industry, reducing NOx emissions has become a critical objective. Although low‐NOx combustion technologies are effective, they may lead to localized high‐temperature corrosion. To address this issue, near‐wall air supply technology has been introduced, which involves injecting an appropriate amount of air near the

Performance Investigation of Eco‐Friendly Refrigerant Mixtures as an Alternative to R134a in Vapour‐Compression Refrigeration System

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing impacts of climate change and energy scarcity demand environmentally sustainable refrigeration solutions. This study investigates eco‐friendly refrigerants (R152a, R290 and R600a) and their optimized ternary mixture as alternatives to R134a. Four blend compositions were analysed using experimental testing and REFPROP 10.0 modelling

Understanding teacher agency in the context of school‐based climate change and sustainability education: A case study of the experiences of teachers and school students in England

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on teacher agency as a conceptual framework, we explored the extent to which school teachers in secondary schools in England achieve agency in relation to teaching climate change and sustainability. This research provides a novel approach to understanding the relational and emergent qualities of teacher agency by bringing together ...
