The 0^0 Thing Behind Everything
Abstract: Physics is the science of the physique of the universe. The physique of the universe is space. Space is the bottom-most of the universe which cannot be further undermined. Space cannot be seen. Not heard. Not smelt. Not tasted. Not touched or felt. Not known. The moment it is seen, heard, smelt, tasted, felt, known, the question pops up: who is the seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling, knowing? Consciousness/cognizance is …

Dependency of pure liquid pool boiling heat transfer coefficient to bubble contact angle on roughened Brass heater in new model
Abstract: Heat transfer coefficient of nucleate pool boiling Nucleation is a basic part of phase transformations, which plays an important role in understanding and describing any phase change processes. For a boiling process, nucleation appears in the initial stage, and directly affects bubble formation and boiling intensity. According to the heterophase fluctuations which induce phase transition, the phase change has two main types. Classically, phase change caused by the fluctuation with …

High grade nuclear heat supply from molten salt reactors via pipelines: Parametric studies on heat loss
Abstract: Nuclear power plants based on molten salt technology have the potential to supply low carbon emissions intensity thermal energy and electricity to support industrial decarbonization. The primary coolant of these reactors is a multi-component fluoride salt like FLiNaK and this stream can be partly extracted to serve as industrial heat source with temperatures of about 550-600oC. This study examines the pipeline-based transport of this heat source to a potential point …

Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation Study on the Evolution of Photoinitiated Free Radical Polymerization Crosslinked Networks
Abstract: Gradient polymer materials overcome the limitations of conventional homogeneous polymers by integrating multiple distinct functionalities within a single continuous structure. Although photoinitiated free-radical polymerization offers excellent spatial and temporal control, the underlying microscopic mechanisms governing network evolution under non-uniform light fields remain poorly understood. In this study, a mesoscale dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model was successfully developed to couple free-radical polymerization kinetics—including initiation, propagation, crosslinking, and termination—with exponential light attenuation …
