Phase‐Change Alloys Enable Localized Reversible Stiffening and Actuation in Steerable Eversion Tip‐Growing Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a tip‐growing eversion robot that uses phase‐changing alloys for reversible stiffening and localized actuation, achieving 43× stiffness modulation, 15× force amplification, and segmental steering. The system enables precise navigation and force delivery in constrained, tortuous pathways.

Heat transfer in pipes [PDF]

open access: yes
The heat transfer from hot water to a cold copper pipe in laminar and turbulent flow condition is determined. The mean flow through velocity in the pipe, relative test length and initial temperature in the vessel were varied extensively during tests ...

Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Comparative evaluation of single‐artery cannulation with passive venous drainage versus traditional dual‐cannula ex vivo lung perfusion in a rat model

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared a simplified rat ex vivo lung perfusion model with single‐artery inflow and passive vein drainage to the traditional dual‐catheter closed‐loop system. Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a critical technique for lung preservation and evaluation prior to transplantation.

Advanced thermal energy management: A thermal test bed and heat pipe simulation [PDF]

open access: yes
Work initiated on a common-module thermal test simulation was continued, and a second project on heat pipe simulation was begun. The test bed, constructed from surplus Skylab equipment, was modeled and solved for various thermal load and flow conditions.

Baseline Characteristics of Pristine Agricultural Pods Biochar

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The valorization of agricultural pod wastes into biochar offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and the development of functional carbonaceous materials. This study comparatively evaluates biochars produced from cocoa, flamboyant, and locust bean pods using an autothermal top‐lit updraft gasifier with retort heating, a system ...

Numerical Optimization of a Hybrid Cooling System for Lithium‐Ion Battery Packs: PCM‐Assisted and Liquid Cooling Integration

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a hybrid cooling system design that constructs a phase change material (PCM) filled layer between a liquid cooling jacket and cylindrical battery cells, combining the advantages of efficient liquid cooling and passive temperature control from PCM. The system performance was optimized through numerical simulation.
