Photothermal–Magnetocaloric Coupled Evaporators for Actively Adjustable Water Evaporation and Oil–Water Purification in Complex Environments

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A photothermal–magnetocaloric coupled aerogel evaporator is developed for actively adjustable water evaporation in complex environments. Magnetocaloric heating provides active energy compensation under low‐light conditions and disrupts interfacial hydrogen‐bond networks to promote evaporation.

Adaptive Fuzzy Energy Management of Wind‐Battery Systems With Flexible Desalination Load

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
An adaptive fuzzy energy management strategy is proposed for a wind‐battery‐powered reverse osmosis desalination system. The controller dynamically adjusts the desalination load based on wind power availability and the battery state of charge to reduce battery stress.

Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation of Saline Diesel Contaminated Water by a Novel Bacterial Halophilic Consortium

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Influence of Strain Rate on the Strain Hardening Behavior of a Lean Duplex Stainless Steel

MetalMat, EarlyView.
The aim of this study was to examine how strain rate influences the compressive strain‐hardening behavior of a lean duplex stainless steel LDX 2101. Microstructural analysis using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) revealed a strain‐induced austenite‐to‐martensite transformation.
