Abstract

The booming electric vehicle industry seeks fast charging solutions to address the safety risks posed by high-power charging, including thermal runaway and other safety issues. This study investigates the impact of combining liquid with thermoelectric cooling on battery thermal management. A series of experiments were conducted using various thermal batteries, liquid flow rates and batteries temperature thermoelectric. The experimental results compared air cooling (AC), water cooling (WC), and thermoelectric cooling (TEC) with different water flow (WF) rate in system and revealed that TEC with WF at 4.0 l/min was the best cooling system. This system can decrease the temperature by about 41-52% from the maximum temperature at discharge rates of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 °C. However, TEC with WF 1.0 and 2.0 l/min can effectively lower the temperature and reduce energy consumption compared to other cooling systems, while still maintaining the battery temperature within appropriate ranges.

Abstract

The optimization of nutrient management is crucial for successful soilless plant cultivation, where precise control of fertilizer application significantly impacts plant growth. This research addresses the challenge of developing an effective nutrient control system tailored for soilless cultivation by focusing on regulating electrical conductivity (EC) levels in nutrient solutions. The proposed system utilizes mathematical models and linear regression techniques to manage the nutrient solution mixing ratio. To ensure accuracy, sensors were calibrated, achieving a 99.59% accuracy rate for pH measurement and 95.25% for EC measurement. Experimental validation of the system demonstrated that, with a target EC range of 1.5-2.3 mS/cm, a 10 L solution volume yielded a maximum error rate of 1.75% and an average error of 0.95%. In contrast, a 50 L solution volume showed a slight increase in maximum error rate to 2.89% and an average error of 2.08%. These results highlight the system’s capability to precisely adjust EC levels using a defined linear regression model for AB liquid fertilizer ratios. In conclusion, the developed system effectively controls nutrient levels, demonstrating its potential for enhancing nutrient management in hydroponic farming applications.

Abstract

Air pollution has become a global issue due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. Air quality monitoring is essential for mitigating the adverse effects of air pollution on public health and the environment. This study presents a solar-powered internet of thing (IoT)-based air quality monitoring system designed for autonomous operation in outdoor settings. The prototype integrates an ESP32 microcontroller with low-cost sensors for PM2.5, PM10, temperature, humidity, and heat index. Powered by a solar panel and battery, the system ensures off-grid functionality, while Wi-Fi transmission to the Blynk platform, enables real-time visualization, historical record storage, and instant user access through mobile dashboards. The system was calibrated against reference instruments and deployed for 14 consecutive days. Results confirmed stable data transmission and reliable performance that suitability for outdoor use without reliance on grid power under real-world conditions. Furthermore, correlation analysis showed a strong relationship between PM2.5 and PM10, and moderate associations with humidity. Regression analysis further identified humidity and heat index as the most significant predictors, while temperature exhibited only minor influence. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of a low-cost, portable, and energy-autonomous IoT monitoring system, providing accurate real-time insights to support evidence-based air quality management.
