The first member of a new class of phthalocyanine-based metal–organic frameworks, MOF-IP, has been synthesized in order to gauge the potential of this type of materials for hydrogen storage. Preliminary studies indicate that MOF-IP is a robust material with a hydrogen uptake capacity of...

Two new fluoranthene-based organic dye sensitizers (I and II), in which 7, 12-diphenylbenzo[k]fluoranthene moiety is acted as electron donor, thiophene and phenylethynyl units as electron spacers and carboxylic acid as electron acceptor were successfully applied in quasi-solid-state...

A multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was conducted on a D.I. (Direct Injection) diesel engine fueled by bio-diesel based on KIVA4 code. Comprehensive chemistry prediction of bio-diesel fuel was taken into account by enhancing the combustion model of the default KIVA4...

The proposed low-temperature solar thermal electric generation is based on the compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) of small concentration ratio and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The technologies of CPC and ORC are analyzed, and feasibility of the system is demonstrated. In particular, two-stage...
