Tower fatigue and strength are crucial operational concerns of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) due to the escalation of the vibration phenomena observed on these structures as compared to land-based ones. FOWT towers are excited by wave and w...

In this paper, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the interfacial heat exchange capacity of one-dimensional carbon nanotube nested structures. When the radius of the CNT substrate is increased from 1.356 to 2.712 nm, the...

Brewery (BW) and dairy (DW) wastewater are two types of agro-industrial wastewater that are generated in large amounts and, therefore, should be treated effectively and in an environmentally beneficial manner. Both these wastewater types are characte...

In order to improve the effect of injection–production coupling development to improve crude oil recovery in complex fault-block reservoirs, we carried out a physical simulation experiment based on a sandpack model of transforming water-driven...

Global demand for underground gas storage (UGS) is steadily increasing, with the limestone-based UGS system situated in the Sichuan Basin of China gathering considerable interest in recent years. However, studies focusing on the fundamental mechanism...

Renovation of existing buildings is fundamental to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the building sector and to ensure the efficient operation of renewable heating systems. In multi-family houses, the suitability of heat pumps is limited by high req...

This paper addresses the critical role of supercapacitors as energy storage systems with a specific focus on their modeling and identification. The lack of a standardized and efficient method for identifying supercapacitor parameters has a definite e...

This paper addresses the issue of the abolition of annual net metering in Slovenia and compares the electric energy costs for the studied active user after the abolition. The article also provides an exploration of the role played by an aggregator, w...

Jacobian-free Newton Krylov (JFNK) is an attractive method to solve nonlinear equations in the nuclear engineering community, and has been successfully applied to steady-state neutron diffusion k-eigenvalue problems and multi-physics coupling problem...

The coupling relationship between the deformation field, the diffusion field, and the seepage field is an important factor in fluid transport mechanisms in the long-term coalbed methane (CBM) exploitation process. A mathematical model of gas–wa...
