Aerodynamics Effect of Holes in UAV Wings Modified for VTOL Capability

Laith S. Sawaqed et al.

Summary: This research explores the possibility of modifying the X8 Skywalker from a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle into a convertiplane. Computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel experiments were conducted to analyze the performance of different wing configurations. The results indicate that the proposed modifications can generate enough lift despite reducing the wing area, with the filleted hole configuration demonstrating less drag and turbulence effects at low angles of attack.

The life cycle climate performance evaluation of low-GWP refrigerants for domestic heat pumps

Changru Yang et al.

Summary: This article evaluates the life cycle climate performance (LCCP) of various low-GWP refrigerants as replacements for R410A in domestic heat pumps. Among the compared refrigerants, the binary blend of HFC32/HF01234ze(E) with a GWP of 300 shows the lowest LCCP. Low-GWP refrigerants may become more competitive than R410A when CO2 emissions from energy generation are reduced through system optimization or the use of renewable energy.

Comparative analysis of HFO-1234ze(E) and R-515B as low GWP alternatives to HFC-134a in moderately high temperature heat pumps

Carlos Mateu-Royo et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the performance of HFO-1234ze(E) and R-515B as low GWP refrigerants to replace HFC-134a in different heat pump applications, showing a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to HFC-134a and natural gas boilers. Although both refrigerants have comparable energy and environmental performance, R-515B has an advantage in terms of installation safety as a non-flammable refrigerant.
