Measuring Corporate Alignment With the Circular Economy: a Text‐Based Circularity Index From Mandatory Non‐Financial Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) has become a strategic priority for firms, yet empirical assessments of corporate circularity remain fragmented and heavily dependent on structured indicators or self‐reported metrics. This paper proposes a novel, text‐based circularity index derived from mandatory non‐financial statements of large ...

Automated Process Optimization in a Novel Triple Shaft Mixer with Adaptive Mixing Modes

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A novel multi‐purpose mixer with adjustable blade angle and a coaxial stirrer is developed, providing three degrees of freedom. An optimization strategy is integrated to autonomously identify optimal operating conditions through automated tests. The current draw of the main stirrer serves as the optimization criterion, while stirrer speeds, directions,

Turbulence‐Intensity Effects on the Aerodynamic Performance of an H‐Type Darrieus Wind Turbine: A URANS Parametric Study

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Turbulence intensity from 1% to 25% was parametrically tested on a three‐bladed H‐type Darrieus rotor across five tip speed ratios (TSRs) using two‐dimensional URANS. The optimal TSR proved the most efficient and most robust operating point simultaneously, with Cp losses capped at 5.8% even at TI = 25%. ABSTRACT The effect of inlet turbulence intensity

Hot Corrosion Type X: Behavior of Mo‐Si‐B at Different Temperatures

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The temperature‐dependent mechanism for Mo‐Si‐B is investigated by studying the hot corrosion resistance of Mo‐Si‐B at 500°C–900°C. Post‐testing analysis via XRD, SEM, Raman and EPMA is used to reveal the degradation mechanisms. Na2MoO4, which forms under Na2SO4 deposits, is responsible for dissolving the surrounding material due to its lower melting ...
