Recent Advances in Polymer-Based Thermal Management Technologies for Hybrid PV/T Solar Desalination Systems: A Critical Review
Abstract: Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) desalination systems are being developed as a new approach that not only generates clean water but also harnesses solar energy. While tremendous progress has been made in terms of design, the thermal management of PV/T desalination systems still poses several problems, such as heat generation, temperature non-uniformity, and inadequate thermal energy storage, all of which adversely affect the efficiency of electricity generation and clean water production. In …

Land surface dynamics: A Multiphysics Approach to Modeling Mass Transport
Abstract: Land surface dynamics are governed by complex interactions among hydrological, atmospheric, and geomorphological processes that collectively drive the transport of mass across terrestrial environments. Traditional modeling approaches often isolate individual mechanisms, limiting their ability to capture the coupled feedbacks that shape landscape evolution. This study presents a multiphysics framework for modeling mass transport on land surfaces, integrating fluid flow, sediment transport, heat exchange, and chemical reactions within a unified computational …

Advancements in Waste Heat Recovery from Multistage Air Compressor Operations
Abstract: In industrial production processes, waste heat is an important consequence, especially in sectors that rely significantly on composites and polymers. Frequently, this heat is released into the atmosphere without being captured, which raises operating expenses in addition to wasting potential energy. In these sectors, waste heat recovery, or WHR, has become a key tactic for raising sustainability and energy efficiency. The WHR potential of multistage air compressors—essential parts of industrial …
