With the further exploitation of offshore resources, there are more and more offshore oil and gas fields which cannot meet the production capacity requirements. So, it becomes extremely urgent to pay attention to the decommissioning of the exploitati...

This study introduces a Vorticity Index (VI) and an Imminent Vortex Separation Condition (IVSC), which are considered valuable indicators to quantify the vorticity impact on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) operation. The VI and IVSC are specifica...

Colleges and universities are a typical service water consumers in China, i.e., with a dense population, single structure, and regular water use. This means it is crucial to strengthen the management of their water use behavior. In this paper, first...

We report the design, fabrication, and testing of a humidity sensor based on an optical fiber-based evanescent wave probe. The fiber was bent into a U-shape and de-cladded at the location of the bending. The de-cladded section was coated either with...

AF1410 is a low carbon high alloy ultra-high strength steel. It not only has high strength and high toughness, but also has a high stress corrosion resistance. However, due to the characteristics of hard quality and poor thermal conductivity, AF1410...

Furfural is one of the most important biomass platform compounds and can be used to prepare various high-value-added chemicals. The reactions of furfural with aliphatic alcohols via an oxidative esterification reaction or oxidative condensation react...

Parametric design, with its unique scientific and logical nature, is gradually applied in the field of landscape design. Therefore, the GIS (geographic information systems) technology of parametric software was applied to the optimization of traditio...

Anthracite in a specific area of Shanxi Province is the subject of this essay’s research. In the creep studies, different porosity intervals and pore water pressures were employed to evaluate the mechanical properties of creep under various tes...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of simulating different fuel shapes for the material testing reactor (MTR). Two OpenMC codes were built, and the first OpenMC model was simulated using a curved shape fuel element to mimic the real di...

The purification of molten salts from admixtures as well as the effective control of admixture concentration has attracted researchers’ interests. In the present paper, the possibility of the electrochemical purification of PbCl2 from PbO and t...
