Dynamic simulation of hydrogen-based off-grid zero energy buildings with hydrogen storage considering Fanger model thermal comfort

In this study, some locations with different climates, off-grid zero energy buildings with hydrogen energy storage systems are designed, and transient analysis is conducted. These considered buildings supply their electricity consumption without using the electrical grid and PV panels or wind turbines. Also, they supply thermal comfort to occupants by using a vapor compression chiller and humidifier. Domestic hot water of occupants is supplied using solar collectors. For analyzing building's performance and objectives achievement, TRNSYS software is used. Also, for evaluating occupant thermal comfort, the Fanger model is used. The considered building is a one-story building with a 150 m² area. Four occupants are considered. Both of them are seated at rest, and another is seated with light working such as typing. Using the Fanger model equation and MATLAB software, the thermal comfort of occupants is determined. For domestic hot water consumption, verified profiles that vary during 24 h of the day are considered. Achieved results show that for humid and cold cities, PV panels with an area of 73 and 76 m² can be supplied the required electricity of considered building with four occupants and battery state of charge is higher than 50% and 10%, respectively. Moreover, with a suitable air conditioner system, the predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD) can be lower than 12% and 8% for humid and cold cities. Therefore, the building can be converted to a zero-energy building using its rooftop area.     

Enhancing the dehydrogenation properties of LiAlH4 using K2NiF6 as additive

Lithium alanate (LiAlH₄) is a material that can be potentially used for solid-state hydrogen storage due to its high hydrogen content (10.5 wt%). Nevertheless, a high desorption temperature, slow desorption kinetic, and irreversibility have restricted the application of LiAlH₄ as a solid-state hydrogen storage material. Hence, to lower the decomposition temperature and to boost the dehydrogenation kinetic, in this study, we applied K₂NiF₆ as an additive to LiAlH₄. The addition of K₂NiF₆ showed an excellent improvement of the LiAlH₄ dehydrogenation properties. After adding 10 wt% K₂NiF₆, the initial decomposition temperature of LiAlH₄ within the first two dehydrogenation steps was lowered to 90 °C and 156 °C, respectively, that is 50 °C and 27 °C lower than that of the аs-milled LiAlH₄. In terms of dehydrogenation kinetics, the dehydrogenation rate of K₂NiF₆-doped LiAlH₄ sample was significantly higher as compared to аs-milled LiAlH₄. The K₂NiF₆-doped LiAlH₄ sample can release 3.07 wt% hydrogen within 90 min, while the milled LiAlH₄ merely release 0.19 wt% hydrogen during the same period. According to the Arrhenius plot, the apparent activation energies for the desorption process of K₂NiF₆-doped LiAlH₄ are 75.0 kJ/mol for the first stage and 88.0 kJ/mol for the second stage. These activation energies are lower compared to the undoped LiAlH₄. The morphology study showed that the LiAlH₄ particles become smaller and less agglomerated when K₂NiF₆ is added. The in situ formation of new phases of AlNi and LiF during the dehydrogenation process, as well as a reduction in particle size, is believed to be essential contributors in improving the LiAlH₄ dehydrogenation characteristics.     

Facile preparation of SnS2 nanoflowers and nanoplates for the application of high-performance hybrid supercapacitors

In this work, the SnS₂ nanoflowers (SnS₂ NFs) were solvothermally prepared in the solvent of ethanol, while SnS₂ nanoplates (SnS₂ NPs) were obtained through the identical conditions except for the solvent of water. The flowers were assembled with numerous nanosheets with very thin thickness, and the NPs exhibited hexagonal shape. When used as the battery-type electrode material for supercapacitors, the SnS₂ NFs delivered a specific capacity of as high as 264.4 C g^?1 at 1 A g^?1, which was higher than the 201.6 C g^?1 of SnS₂ NPs. Furthermore, a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) was assembled with the SnS₂ as positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as negative electrode, respectively. The SnS₂ NFs//AC HSC exhibited a high energy density of 28.1 Wh kg^?1 at 904.3 W kg^?1, which was higher than the 24.2 Wh kg^?1 at 844.3 W kg^?1 of SnS₂ NPs//AC HSC. Especially, when the power density was enhanced to the highest value of 8666.8 W kg^?1, the NFs-based device could still hold 20.4 Wh kg^?1. In addition, both HSC devices showed an excellent cycling stability after 5000 cycles at 5 A g^?1. The present method is simple and can be extended to the preparation of other transition metal sulfides (TMSs)-based electrode materials with brilliant electrochemical performance for supercapacitors.     

Heterofullerene C48B12-impregnated MOF-5 and IRMOF-10 for hydrogen storage: A combined DFT and GCMC simulations study

The H₂ storage properties of isoreticular metal-organic framework materials (IRMOFs), MOF-5 and IRMOF-10, impregnated with different numbers and types of heterogeneous C₄₈B₁₂ molecules were investigated using density functional theory and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) calculations. The excess hydrogen adsorption isotherms of IRMOFs at 77 K within 20 bar indicate that suitable number and type of C₄₈B₁₂ molecules play a crucial role in improving the H₂ storage properties of IRMOFs. Among the studied pure and nC₄₈B₁₂ (n = 1, 2, 4, 8) in Ci symmetry impregnating into MOF-5, at 77 K under 6 bar, MOF-5-4C₄₈B₁₂ with a 3.5 wt% and 29.9 g/L hydrogen storage density, and at 77 K under 12 bar, the pure MOF-5 with a 4.9 wt% and 31.0 g/L hydrogen storage density has the best hydrogen storage properties. Whereas, among the studied pure and nC₄₈B₁₂ (n = 1, 2, 4, 8) in S6 symmetry impregnating into IRMOF-10, IRMOF-10-8C₄₈B₁₂ always shows the best hydrogen storage properties among the pure and C₄₈B₁₂-impregnated IRMOF-10 at 77 K within 20 bar. IRMOF-10-8C₄₈B₁₂ has a 6.0 wt% and 34.6 g/L hydrogen storage density at 77 K under 6 bar, and has a 7.1 wt% and 41.4 g/L hydrogen storage density at 77 K under 12 bar. The confinement effect of IRMOFs on C₄₈B₁₂ molecules, and steric hindrance effect of C₄₈B₁₂ molecules on IRMOFs mainly affects the H₂ uptake capacity by comparing the absolute H₂ molecules in individual IRMOFs units, C₄₈B₁₂ molecules, and IRMOFs-nC₄₈B₁₂ compounds. The absolute hydrogen adsorption profiles show that eight C₄₈B₁₂ molecules impregnating into MOF-5 can exert obvious steric effects for H₂ adsorption. The saturated gravimetric and volumetric H₂ densities of IRMOF-10-8C₄₈B₁₂ higher than those of MOF-5-8C₄₈B₁₂ due to with larger free volume.     

Characteristic tryptic peptides and gelling properties of porcine skin gelatin affected by thermal action

Thermal action in extraction process had effects on characteristic tryptic peptides identification and gelling properties of porcine gelatin. SDS-PAGE, HPLC-LTQ/Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry, texture analyser and rheometer were used to evaluate collagen depolymerisation degree, characteristic tryptic peptides and gelling properties of gelatins prepared in various thermal actions. Results showed that with increasing temperature and time, depolymerisation degree enlarged, while gel strength, gelling and melting temperature decreased. Mass spectra showed that 47 and 49 common characteristic tryptic peptides were identified in gelatins extracted at 50 °C and 100 °C with various times, respectively. Moreover, 34 common characteristic tryptic peptides were identified in all gelatin samples. Further comparison between this work and our previous investigations yielded 20 common characteristic tryptic peptides, which stably exist in various thermal actions. These common characteristic tryptic peptides may be very helpful for the accurate authentication of porcine gelatin.     

Combining a new baseboard radiator with a fan coil system for improving heating performance and reduce energy consumption

In the present work, the heating performance of a new system combined with a new modified baseboard radiator and fan coil is investigated. Using longitudinal fins with special geometry and also forced airflow at the end of the system causes that at the lower inlet water temperature compared with the conventional models, higher heat output rate be obtained. The heat output rate of the new modified system is obtained by experimental metrology based on the European Standard No. EN-442. Temperature and velocity distribution in the room space is done by simulation of the modified system in the Flovent software. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results are validated against experimental results and there is a good agreement between them. Also, the energy consumption of the system during the winter season is calculated in TRANSYS software. Experimental results show that the heat output rate of a new modified heating system with inlet water temperature in the range of 45–55°C is on average 4.17 times higher compared with the conventional model. CFD simulation also showed that the combined system provides good thermal comfort conditions. Energy consumption of the new system reduced about 13% compared with conventional models.     

A numerical study on nonlinear DPL model for analyzing heat transfer in tissue during thermal therapy

In the present paper, therapeutic treatment of infected tumorous cells has been studied through mathematical modeling and simulation of heat transfer in tissues by using a nonlinear dual-phase lag bioheat transfer model with Dirichlet boundary condition. The components of volumetric heat source in this model such as blood perfusion and metabolism are assumed experimentally validated temperature-dependent function, which gives more accurate temperature distribution in tissues through this model. We have used the finite difference and RK (4, 5) techniques of numerical methods to solve the proposed problem and obtained the exact solution in a particular case. After comparison, we got a good agreement between them. We have used dimensionless quantities throughout this paper. The effect of relaxation and thermalization time with respect to dimensionless temperature distribution has been analyzed in the treatment process.
