Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Entropy‐Stabilized Aluminate Catalysts That Break the Activity–Stability Tradeoff in CF4 Hydrolysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Entropy‐stabilized aluminate breaks the activity–stability tradeoff in CF4 hydrolysis by combining a multication aluminate framework with an entropy‐stabilized lattice. An electron‐deficient Al–O environment is F‐philic but O‐phobic, enabling C–F activation while suppressing H2O poisoning. Under steam‐rich, strongly fluorinating conditions, the entropy‐

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SPONTANEOUSLY CONDENSING FLOWS IN A PLANE TURBINE CASCADE

TASK Quarterly, 2002
The low efficiency of wet steam turbine is mainly attributed to wetness losses. To investigate the mechanisms which give rise to these losses, a fully Eulerian model has been developed for calculation of the wet steam flows with spontaneous condensation.

Hydrogen (H2) Recovery From Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): Current Technologies, Challenges, and Future Outlook

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through several chemical and catalytic processes, offering a promising route for both waste treatment and clean H2 production. This colorless, flammable, and toxic gas is found abundantly in swamps, volcanoes, hot springs, sewages, other natural gas fields, and even in refineries and

Wet steam flowmeter correction factors

Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 1991
Abstract This technical note is concerned with the different ways of correcting the mass flow output from steam flowmeters to allow for the moisture content in the steam. Depending upon which method of correction is used, the difference in the indicated output is as much as 6% of reading at a dryness fraction of 90%.

Introgressed Variation in TaMYB7‐A1 Drives Graded Dormancy and Climate‐Adaptive Pre‐Harvest Sprouting Resistance in Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TaMYB7‐A1 directly activates TaABI5 to enhance ABA signaling and regulate ABA‐GA homeostasis, enforcing seed dormancy. Its superior allele, derived from wild einkorn introgression, harbors a MITE insertion that elevates expression and two amino acid substitutions that enhance transcriptional activity, collectively generating graded PHS resistance for ...

Unraveling the Synergistic Activity‐Stability Enhancement of a High‐Entropy Perovskite Air Electrode for Dual Ceramic Electrochemical Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐entropy air electrode material, Gd0.2Pr0.2Ba0.2Sr0.2Ca0.2FeO3−δ (GPBSCF), is developed for both solid oxide fuel cells and reversible protonic ceramic cells. Its enhanced activity stems from increased oxygen vacancies/holes. The stability improvement is attributed to lattice distortion, while thermal expansion reduction is synergistically due to
