This study investigated the application of nanophase change material emulsions (NPCMEs) for thermal management in high-capacity ternary lithium-ion batteries. We formulated an NPCME of n-octadecane (n-OD) and n-eicosane (n-E) with a mass fraction of...

Open biomass burning has significant adverse effects on regional air quality, climate change, and human health. Extensive open biomass burning is detected in most regions of China, and capturing the characteristics of open biomass burning and underst...

Wildfires pose significant environmental and societal threats, necessitating improved early detection methods. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating real-time object detection deep learning models (YOLOv8 and RT-DETR) with advanced...

Combustible gases, such as CO, CH4, and H2, are produced during spontaneous coal combustion in goaf, which may cause an explosion under the stimulation of an external fire source. It is of great significance to study the influence of combustible gase...

CO, H2, and other combustible gases will be produced during coal oxidation in coal mines, which will increase the risk of explosion when mixed with methane. Therefore, it is very important to understand the production characteristics of combustible g...

Minimum ignition energy (MIE) has been extensively studied via experiments and simulations. However, our literature review reveals little quantitative consistency, with results varying from 0.324 to 1.349 mJ for ϕ = 1.0 and from 0.22 to 0.944 mJ...

In recent years, the implementation of CO2 capture systems has increased. To reduce the costs and the footprint of the processes, different industrial wastes are successfully proposed for CO2 capture, such as gypsum from desulfurization units. This g...

Environmental and energy sustainability concerns have catalyzed a global transition toward renewable biofuel alternatives. Among these, biodiesel stands out as a promising substitute for conventional diesel in compression-ignition engines, providing...

Asymmetrical V-shaped tunnels often appear in tunnels crossing the river or urban underground road tunnels. The smoke flow inside is affected by a lot of factors. A full understanding of the smoke flow in this kind of tunnel is the basis of the smoke...

This paper is devoted to the numerical analysis of the spontaneous acceleration of a slow flame in a semi-closed channel. In particular, the flow development in the channel ahead of the propagating flame is analyzed. The applied detailed numerical mo...
