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.

ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?
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 ...

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 ...

Compact Manifolds With Unbounded Nilpotent Fundamental Groups and Positive Ricci Curvature
ABSTRACT It follows from the work of Kapovitch and Wilking that a closed manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a uniformly almost nilpotent fundamental group. Leftover questions and conjectures, have asked if in this context the fundamental group is actually uniformly almost abelian. The main goal of this work is to construct examples (Mk9,gk)$(

Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks
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.

Toward Safer and Sustainable Lithium Metal Batteries: Fluorine‐Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes
An analysis to assess the impact of fluorine in polymer electrolyte‐based lithium metal batteries has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that fluorine‐free LiTIM salt delivers a electrochemical performance similar to that of its fluorinated analogue salts, given the complete lithium dissociation in coordination with PEO and the restricted anion ...

Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...
