Experimental investigation on the dynamics of an Organic Rankine Cycle evaporator with large-mass fins for the purpose of reducing heat input fluctuations by Jiménez-Arreola, Manuel, Wieland, Christoph, Romagnoli, Alessandro

“…Waste heat recovery from energy-intensive processes using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a promising effective method to reduce large quantities of energy waste and emissions in the planet. However, one of the main technical challenges that remain for its widespread implementation is related to the intermittent and fluctuating nature of the thermal power available from waste heat sources. …”

Unveiling the importance of controllable growth of c-axis oriented Sn-doped ZnO nanorod arrays: Towards humidity sensing applications by Ahmad Syakirin, Ismail @ Rosdi, Mohamad Hafiz, Mamat, Ruziana, Mohamed, Embong, Z., Kossar, Shahnaz

“…Morphology images taken using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) demonstrated an enlargement of the average diameter of the nanorod arrays from 55 nm at 5 min immersion to 122 nm at 200 min immersion. The cross-sectional and surface elemental analysis showed that the sample immersed for 60 min has the highest detection of Sn, with a bulk concentration of 1.8 at.% and surface concentration of 1 at.%. …”

Modeling of plasma motion in a toroidal solenoid by Tu, Yuqiang.

“…Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc (FCVA) deposition technique has received extensive attention recently due to its unique feature: vacuum arc is generated at one end of a toroidal solenoid filter, in which those ions and electrons in the arc follow the force line of the magnetic field and pass through, while those neutral particles moving in straight lines are filtered away, and a "purified" plasma is obtained at the other end. …”

Taming nonclassical carbocations to control small ring reactivity by McNamee, RE, Frank, N, Christensen, KE, Duarte, F, Anderson, EA

“…For example, the solvolysis of cyclobutyl or cyclopropylmethyl derivatives generates up to four products on nucleophilic capture or elimination via cyclopropylcarbinyl and bicyclobutonium ions. Here, we show that such reaction outcomes can be controlled by subtle changes to the structure of nonclassical carbocation. …”
