Sulfur, a by-product of industrial processes, presents a unique opportunity for advancing sustainable energy storage systems, particularly in metal-sulfur batteries (MSBs) and thermal energy storage (TES) applications. Both MSBs and TES technologies benefit from sulfur’s abundance, cost-effectiveness, and high energy storage potential. However, the effective utilisation of ...

This paper discusses the possibility of improving the ekibastuz coal quality through the use of "dry enrichment" technology. The experiments and calculations carried out made it possible to determine the optimal scheme for enrichment of samples of thermal coals from the Ekibastuzsky open-pit mine of "Angrensor-Energo" LLP. Testing of technical characteristics, such as ...

This article presents a new design for an innovative repair kit for transport equipment units. Article considers new principles and effects for reducing friction in vehicle units. The ...

Near-surface nanoscale thermal conductivity (k) variation of ion-irradiated single-crystalline ZnO was studied by time-domain thermoreflectance. ZnO was irradiated by 710 MeV Bi swift heavy ions (SHI) in the 1010–1013 ion/ cm2 fluence range to investigate the progression of radiation damage both from single ion impacts and ion path overlapping regimes. Structural characterization ...

In this study, the object of the research is low-rank coal during the process of thermal heating of five types: brown, high moisture brown, long-flame, coke weakly sintering and coke fusinite. In the research, when conducting thermal and gas analysis in inert media, the problem of using low-rank coal in the thermal heating process to obtain volatile fuel gases was solved ...

The centralized data sharing challenges in healthcare have spurred the adoption of distributed methods, including blockchain technology, to enhance security and privacy. This paper proposes a blockchain-based healthcare system leveraging post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to secure sensitive patient data, stored on a permissioned blockchain. Discrete event simulation (DES) is ...

In the present paper, reaction–diffusion systems (RD-systems) with rapidly oscillating coefficients and righthand sides in equations and in boundary conditions were considered in domains with locally periodic oscillating (wavering) boundary. We proved a weak convergence of the trajectory attractors of the given systems to the trajectory attractors of the limit (homogenized) ...

The issue of carwash wastewater emerges as a pressing environmental concern on a global scale, primarily due to the intricate nature of its pollutants, which makes effective treatment a formidable challenge. In the face of this complex scenario, the pursuit of an efficient treatment methodology assumes paramount importance. In response to this complex scenario, this study ...
