Summary: In this study, the thermal treatment of Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR) unit was enhanced by the application of multi-way twisted tape (MWTT). Finite volume simulations were used to predict the flow and thermal performance, and SolTrace and ANSYS FLUET were used to extract the distribution of absorb flux. The results showed that the rotation, width, and number of wings of the twisted tape significantly affected the fluid flow and thermal efficiency.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of trilemma energy balance and clean energy transitions on economic expansion and environmental sustainability, while considering the role of clean energy and natural resource rents in the trilemma leaders. The findings suggest that trilemma energy balance, clean energy transitions, and natural resource depletion have a positive impact on economic growth, while clean energy discourages this growth. Additionally, trilemma energy balance, clean energy transitions, and clean energy improve environmental sustainability, while natural resource depletion deteriorates it.

Summary: In this paper, an improved feedforward-long short-term memory (FF-LSTM) modeling method is proposed for accurate whole-life-cycle state of charge (SOC) prediction of lithium-ion batteries. The method effectively considers the variations in current, voltage, and temperature. Experimental tests show that the battery capacity reduces significantly over time.

Summary: This study investigates the flow characteristics of ternary-hybrid nanofluids and their influence under temperature difference, nonlinear thermal radiation, and partial slip. The results show that partial slip reduces the friction at the wall, with the lowest decreasing rate observed in free convection. When induced by mixed convection, the increased motion of the three types of nanoparticles leads to optimal mass and heat transfer rates.
