It is important to incorporate the effects of fluid–structure thermal coupling and the boundary conditions when calculating the thermal dynamics and response of screw pumps. This study develops a fluid–structure thermal coupling model of the screw pump to improve the accuracy of its measured...

The photocatalytic oxidation of gaseous heavy metals is an efficient approach to alleviate energy crises and environmental pollution. In this work, a novel two-step solvothermal method is designed to synthesize rGO-modified BiOX (X=Cl, I, Br) nanosheets. The modification of rGO significantly...

Owing to the abundant uranium reserves in the oceans, the collection of uranium from seawater has aroused the widespread interest. Compared to the uranium extraction from ore, uranium collection from seawater is a more environmentally friendly strategy. The amidoxime (AO) functional group has...

The circulation pump in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) increases the pressure of the liquid working fluid from low condensing pressure to high evaporating pressure, and the expander utilizes the pressure difference to generate work. A portion of the expander output power is used to offset the...

The current collector offers passages for mass transport and is one of the key components of the passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The effect of perforated current collector design on mass transport is studied based on a three-dimensional (3D), unsteady-state, two-phase mass transport...
