Abstract

Accurate prediction of pressure drops in multi-phase flow systems is essential for optimizing processes in industries such as oil and gas, where operational efficiency and safety depend on reliable modeling. Traditional models often need help with the complexities of multi-phase flow dynamics, resulting in high relative errors, particularly under varying flow regimes. In this study, we simulate a comprehensive multiphase flow experimental data collected from the lab. This study presents innovative methods for accurately modeling pressure drops in multi-phase flow systems. It also studies the complicated dynamics of multi-phase flows, which are flows with more than one phase at the same time. It does this by using two different data-driven models, nonlinear ARX and Hammerstein-Wiener, instead of neural networks (NNs), so that the models don’t get too good at fitting environments with lots of changes and little data. Our research applies system identification approaches to the intricacies of this domain, providing new insights into choosing the best appropriate modeling strategy for multi phase flow systems, taking into account their distinct properties. The experimental results show that the nonlinear Hammerstein-Wiener and ARX models were much better than other methods, with fitting accuracy rates of 81.12% for the Hammerstein-Wiener model and 86.52% for the ARX model. This study helps the creation of more advanced control algorithms by providing a reliable way to guess when the pressure drops and showing how to choose a model that fits the properties of the multi-phase flow. These findings contribute to enhanced pressure management and optimization strategies, setting a foundation for future studies on real-time flow control and broader industrial applications.

Abstract

Mesoporous silica (MS) was successfully synthesized via the sol-gel method using gelatin-P123 as a bi-template under hydrothermal reaction conditions at 100 ºC for 24 h, followed by calcination at 550 ºC for 5 h. The amount of TiO? in MS was adjusted to 1, 5, and 10% (w/w) and characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, N? adsorption-desorption, and UV-Vis. The crystallinity of the samples increased with higher TiO? content, as confirmed by XRD data. SEM analysis revealed that the morphology of MS and TiO?/MS was cylindrical, with a particle size distribution of 0.4–0.6 µm. The surface area of MS was 500.8 m²/g, which decreased to a range of 369.6–454.8 m²/g after TiO? modification, while the pore diameter increased from 28.22 to 34.61 Å. The adsorption efficiency for methylene blue photodegradation reached a maximum value of 95%, demonstrating excellent catalytic performance. Thermal regeneration proved to be a promising strategy to recover the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO?/MS for more than five cycles. Furthermore, thermal regeneration and the reuse of catalysts in wastewater treatment systems provide cost-effective solutions for pollutant removal.

Abstract

The recovery of gold from aqueous solutions is crucial due to its economic value and environmental significance, making effective separation technologies essential. To tackle this challenge, development of an adsorbent with enhanced selectivity and high adsorption capacity against Au(III) is highly crucial. This present study harnessed rice husk derived-silica functionalized by (3-trimethoxysilyl)propyldiethylenetriamine (TMPDT) using imprinted ionic method to form SiO2-TMPDT-Au-Imp, specifically designed for the selective adsorption of Au(III). SiO2-TMPDT-Au-Imp demonstrated a significantly higher adsorption capacity about 387% improvement compared to SiO2-TMPDT, highlighting its superior performance. Furthermore, in addition to exhibit several advantageous characteristics that surpass those of other materials tested, underscoring its effectiveness in Au(III) adsorption. SiO2-TMPDT-Au-Imp displayed notable selectivity in competitive metal ion solutions with the preference order of Au(III)/Fe(III) < Au(III)/Cu(II) < Au(III)/Zn(II). The developed SiO2-TMPDT-Au-Imp, in brief, represents a promising advancement in the field of material science and environmental remediation in which it offers a tailored solution for efficient and selective adsorption of Au(III). This study can also be applied for the recovery of Au(III) ions from electronic waste.

Abstract

The primary focus of this research is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the photoanode based of titania nanotubes in the photoelectrocatalytic process, which enables the simultaneous generation of hydrogen and degradation of ammonia. The modification process involved the incorporation of nitrogen dopant during anodization and sensitization of CuO through Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption Reaction (SILAR). The results of this study showed that the introduction of N dopant led to a significant enhancement in both the ammonia elimination and the hydrogen production, as evidenced by 3N-TiNTAs achieving 74.4% and 561 mmol/m2, respectively. Meanwhile, the highest hydrogen production was observed with 7CuO-TiNTAs at 910.14 mmol/m2. The study revealed that N-TiNTAs exhibited superior performance in ammonia degradation; while CuO-TiNTAs showed higher hydrogen production rates. Furthermore, the mechanistic aspects of the study were also thoroughly examined.

Abstract

Brain tumor segmentation is critical for effective diagnosis and treatment planning. While, conventional manual segmentation techniques are seen inefficient and variable, highlighting the need for automated methods. This study enhances medical image analysis, particularly in brain tumor segmentation by improving the explainability and accuracy of deep learning models, which are essential for clinical trust. Using the 3D U-Net architecture with the BraTS 2020 dataset, the study achieved precise localization and detailed segmentation with the mean recall values of 0.8939 for Whole Tumor (WT), 0.7941 for Enhancing Tumor (ET), and 0.7846 for Tumor Core (TC). The Dice coefficients were 0.9065 for WT, 0.8180 for TC, and 0.7715 for ET. By integrating explainable AI techniques, such as Class Activation Mapping (CAM) and its variants (Grad-CAM, Grad-CAM++, and Score-CAM), the study ensures high segmentation accuracy and transparency. Grad-CAM, in this case, provided the most reliable and detailed visual explanations, significantly enhancing model interpretability for clinical applications. This approach not only enhances the accuracy of brain tumor segmentation but also builds clinical trust by making model decisions more transparent and understandable. Finally, the combination of 3D U-Net and XAI techniques supports more effective diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care in brain tumor management.

Abstract

The production of vegetable-based fuels has intensified in recent years due to the decreasing availability of fossil fuels and their environmental impacts. This study explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of nickel-molybdenum (NiMo) bimetal-dispersed silica catalysts for converting used palm cooking oil into liquid biofuels. The catalysts were synthesized using the wet impregnation method, incorporating Ni and Mo metals at concentrations of 1, 2, and 3% by weight of silica derived from rice husk ash. Impregnation of the silica with Ni and Mo metals increased its acidity, with the NiMo/SiO? 2 catalyst exhibiting the highest acidity value of 4.34 mmol/g. This catalyst also demonstrated the largest specific surface area and total pore volume, measured at 205.51 m²/g and 0.88 cm³/g, respectively. Hydrocracking of used palm cooking oil into liquid biofuels was performed at an optimum temperature of 450 °C with catalyst-to-feed weight ratios of 1:100, 2:100, and 3:100 for 1 h by hydrogen gas supply of 20 mL/min. Catalyst activity tests revealed the highest mass percentage of liquid product, 23.3%, at a ratio of 1:100 (w/w), with a biofuel yield of 20.34%, comprising 14.20% gasoline and 6.14% diesel. By utilizing biomass waste as both a catalyst and feedstock, this study presents a sustainable approach to reducing the carbon footprint and promoting environmental balance.

Abstract

Sidoarjo mud is a natural material resulted from an unusual natural phenomenon and is rich in silica contents. So far, no studies have been reported about mesoporous silica from Sidoarjo Mud, which is a supported catalyst for one-step conversion to biodiesel. This study aims to explore synthesis, characterization, and applications to demonstrate the heightened activity and selectivity in the esterification- transesterification of waste palm oil into biodiesel, utilizing a one-step method aligned with the principles of green chemistry using two bifunctional catalysts (Ni/MS - NH2/MS and Ni-NH2/MS). The bifunctional catalysts were prepared by means of hydrothermal, wet impregnation, and grafting methods. The highest biodiesel yield (78.77%) was achieved under the condition of 65 °C, 3 h, methanol to oil ratio 21 : 1, and 3wt% of Ni/MS - NH2/MS as the catalyst. The catalyst was able to yield a conversion level as good as ~72% in the 3rd cycle after regeneration. The research demonstrates the industrial relevance of the catalyst, offering a sustainable solution for biodiesel production and waste management.

Abstract

The research successfully synthesized a composite MIL-100(Fe) modified Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe)) catalyst and examined its efficiency in degrading methyl orange (MO) through the photo-Fenton process compared to Fenton. The different percentages of Fe3O4 were integrated into MIL-100(Fe) and their effects on material characteristics and degradation capabilities were studied. Ex-situ synthesis involved varying Fe3O4 weight ratios (3, 10, and 20% w/w). Characterization techniques confirmed the integration of Fe3O4 and MIL-100(Fe) and revealed changes in surface area, pore size, and thermal stability with Fe3O4 addition. Meanwhile, removal tests showed promising results with the photo-Fenton process exhibiting maximum efficiency (95.51%) using 10% Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe). This study provides valuable insights into developing efficient photo-Fenton catalysts for environmental remediation, particularly for addressing dye pollution in wastewater by highlighting the potential of Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) composites in this context.

Abstract

This study details the nickel-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticle employing natural fine sediment (NiCFO-fs) annealing temperature dependency of crystalline and magnetic characteristics. The NiCFO-fs nanoparticles were prepared by the coprecipitation method with varying annealing temperatures (200-500°C with increment of 100°C for five hours). As a comparison, Ni-CFO was also synthesized using pure analytical chemicals (NiCFO-pa). The XRD results showed that the whole Ni-CFO nanoparticles established an inverse spinel face center cubic (fcc) order according to space group Fd-3m for both NiCFO-fs and NiCFO-pa. There was no additional peak, indicating that Ni2+ cations successfully substituted in cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. In case of NiCFO-fs nanoparticle samples, a crystallite size (D) decreased with the increasing annealing temperature (Ta), namely 45.72 nm, 37.35 nm, 25.95 nm, and 20.51 nm. In contrast to NiCFO-pa, the D increased with the increase of the Ta, i.e., 19.67 nm, 20.74 nm, 21.99 nm, and 23.33 nm. Meanwhile, FTIR results showed the presence of metal-oxygen bonds at 551-586 cm-1 and 384-391 cm-1 at tetrahedral (k1) and the octahedral (k2) sites for both NiCFO-fs and NiCFO-pa nanoparticles samples. The VSM result showed that a narrow hysteresis curve was observed for the NiCFO-fs sample compared to NiCFO-pa. The NiCFO-fs nanoparticles owing the smallest coercive field (HC) of 79.5 Oe were attained for the Ta of 300°C. In case of NiCFO-fs samples, magnetization saturation (MS) decreased with the increase of the Ta in contrast to NiCFO-pa samples. Here, the redistribution of two and three plus ions in the sub-lattice k1 and k2 locations should be encouraged by the Jahn-Teller phenomenon through strain-induced magnetism. The findings of the antibacterial test indicated that the potential of NiCFO based on natural materials (fine sediment) was higher than that of NiCFO based on pure analytical chemicals. This result was also supported by the emergence of ZOI magnitudes for all NiCFO-fs materials compared to NiCFO-pa that was only at Ta = 300°C.

Abstract

Secondary battery solid electrolytes attract researchers' attention for being one of the components of the anode and cathode separation in batteries. Currently, battery electrolytes on the market are liquid-based, which have weaknesses in their safety and are not environmentally friendly. Solid-based electrolytes can be a good choice since they excel in the safety and stability of mechanical and electrical properties; however, they still have the disadvantage of low conductivity values (~10-4 - 10-6 S/cm), thus requiring modification. The solid electrolytes modification using chitosan can be done by adding other polymers and salts as fillers and Li+ ion-making agents. This scientific paper offers an overview of the development of chitosan-based secondary battery solid electrolytes with the addition of PEG4000 polymer and LiCF3SO3. The study was conducted using the solution casting method producing solid electrolytes in the form of membranes. The addition of PEG4000 and LiCF3SO3 affected the microstructure and electrical permittivity of the polymer solid electrolyte membrane. PEG4000 as a plasticizer had no significant effect on inter- and intra-molecular bonds due to poor membrane homogeneity; meanwhile, LiCF3SO3 could increase the permittivity and ionic conductivity of the chitosan polymer solid electrolyte membrane to 3.199 x 10-7 S/cm. The chitosan polymer solid electrolyte membrane with the addition of PEG4000 and 30% LiCF3SO3 salt has an optimal value compared to other salt concentration variations. The results of this research concluded that LiCF3SO3 is evenly dispersed in the chitosan/PEG4000 solid polymer electrolyte membrane enabling it to be used as a secondary battery solid electrolyte.
