Article Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a novel spiral plate mini-channel gas cooler designed for use with supercritical CO. The CO channel of the mini-channel spiral plate gas cooler has a circular spiral cross-section with a radius of 1 mm, while the water channel has an elliptical cross-section spiral channel with a long axis of 2.5 mm and a short axis of 1.3 mm. The results show that increasing the mass flux of CO can effectively enhance the overall heat transfer coefficient when the water side mass flow rate is 0.175 kg·s and the CO side pressure is 7.9 MPa. Increasing the inlet water temperature can also improve the overall heat transfer coefficient. The overall heat transfer coefficient is higher when the gas cooler is vertically oriented compared to horizontally oriented. A Matlab program was developed to verify that the correlation based on Zhang's method has the highest accuracy. The study found a suitable heat transfer correlation for the new spiral plate mini-channel gas cooler through experimental research, which can provide a reference for future designs.

This study assessed variations in leaf intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) and δN values among , a genus of drought-deciduous shrubs distributed across arid regions of southwestern North America between 1972 and 1980 when climates were cooler than today. We hypothesized that geographical variations in climate would significantly influence iWUE, a response to water-related climate constraints, and δN values, a proxy for the balance between N fixation and denitrification. Leaf samples were collected from six species of across 78 sites representing the genus range.

Based on five years of hourly observations (2019-2023) in subtropical Dongguan, this study investigates the variability and thermodynamic regulation of aerosol pH, with a focus on aerosol liquid water content (ALWC), hydrogen ion (H) concentrations, and their interactions. Secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA), including NH, SO, NO and Cl, accounted for 92 ± 4 % of total water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs), with sufficient total NH (TNH) and non-volatile cations (NVCs) available to neutralize acidic species.

This paper investigates the co-combustion of sewage sludge (SS) and bamboo scraps (BS) in a tubular furnace at 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C, focusing on NO emission characteristics and ash slagging behavior. NO emissions from SS combustion occur in two distinct stages, corresponding to the release and reaction of volatile-N and char-N, respectively. Increasing the BS content decreases total NO emissions but raises NO formation from char-N.

Background: Older adults in Japan have the highest drowning mortality rate globally due to frequent bathing practices. Low outdoor temperatures have been linked to bath-related deaths; however, previous studies employed limited statistical models and focused on a single prefecture. Given Japan's aging population, preventing bath-related deaths is a public health priority.

Traditional nanoparticle aerogels suffer from inherent brittleness and thermal instability at elevated temperatures. In recent years, ceramic nanofiber aerogels, utilizing flexible nanofibers as structural units, have emerged as mechanically resilient alternatives with ultrahigh porosity (>90%). However, their thermal insulation capabilities are compromised by micron-scale pores (10-100 μm) and overdependence on ultralow density, which exacerbates mechanical fragility.
