The world's marine litter consists mainly of plastic, and 99% of it does not float on the surface of the sea but on the seabed. The plastic carbon footprint necessarily includes the extraction or manufacture of raw materials, the conversion process, the distribution of products, the consumption of specific types of products and the disposal of the final product, as all these stages release carbon into the atmosphere. This work, inspired by marine microplastics and investigates how plastic waste is degraded and transformed in high-pressure, low-temperature seawater, this paper investigates the corrosion of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) plastics in seawater at high-pressure, using artificial seawater temperatures to simulate ocean temperatures of approximately 4 °C and time settings of 1.day–7 days. The results show that increasing the time enhances the degradation of the plastics and that changing the pressure has little effect on the degradation effect. Understanding its degradation in seawater can help us to better treat plastic waste and thus reduce the carbon footprint of the disposal process.

In this paper, a numerical simulation is established to model the filling process of atomized natural gas drag reduction agent (DRA) at the pipeline inlet section. The computations are on the basis of the Euler-Lagrange method with the standard k-ε turbulence model. The effects of atomizing parameters on the droplets Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) and the adsorption performance on the wall of pipe are investigated using the validated model. The results show that nozzle diameter and nozzle angle have little effect on the SMD of DRA droplets, whereas the size of the droplets SMD reduces with the increase of atomizing pressure, and the influence of atomizing flow rate is just the opposite.

The pressure vessel has used a newly designed water seal structure, and the sealed water is from condensation at low hydrogen concentration. To get the condensation capacity of the water seal branch tube under the pressure vessel normal operation, the experimental loop named WASETEL was constructed, which is aimed at studying the heat transfer during the process of air-steam mixture condensation inside the inclined branch tube at the condition of low air mass fraction. The inner tube is diameter 0.1.4 m with length 0.68 m which is connected with diameter 1.4 m, high 2.5 m pressure vessel. A canon camera was set to record the images and videos of the condensate height through glass tube in communicating vessel liquidometer. The experiment was conducted under the pressure ranged from 0.2 to 0.6 MPa, air mass concentration ranged from 0.49 to 6.42% and wall subcooling ranged from 1. to 40 K. The test showed HTC (heat transfer coefficient) would sharply deteriorate with the small air fraction, compared with pure steam condensation, about 0.49% mass fraction of the air will reduce heat transfer coefficient by 70–80%. When air concentration is relatively small, those widely used relations can not predict the condensation well, therefore, a new heat transfer empirical correlation with air mass fraction, pressure and subcooling is proposed, covered all the experimental data within the error band ±1.%.

The dispatching optimization of power grid is to obtain the greatest benefits on the basis of safe and stable operation of the power grid, which is of great significance for the energy-saving, reliability of the power grid. Therefore, a multi-objective model of power grid dispatching which considers the heat-power coupling characteristics of CHP units is developed in this study. The economic benefit and minimum wind power abandonment are taken as optimizing targets in the model. Meanwhile, the detail operation characteristics of condensing power plants and CHP units are considered in this model based on off-design models of power plant. Besides, the regional heat load and power load are scheduled together. Finally, the AHP-entropy method is used to obtain the weights of the two optimizing targets of economic benefit and wind power abandonment, and the multi-objective is converted into a single-objective.

Advancing catalyst design is pivotal for the enhancement of photocatalytic processes in renewable energy conversion. The incorporation of structural chirality into conventional inorganic solar hydrogen nanocatalysts promises a significant transformation in catalysis, a feature absent in this field. Here we unveil the unexplored potential of geometric chirality by creating a chiral composite that integrates geometric chiral Au nanoparticles (NPs) with two-dimensional C 3 N 4 nanosheets, significantly boosting photocatalytic H 2 evolution beyond the achiral counterparts. The superior performance is driven by the geometric chirality of Au NPs, which facilitates efficient charge carrier separation through the favorable C 3 N 4 -chiral Au NP interface and chiral induced spin polarization, and exploits high-activity facets within the concave surfaces of chiral Au NPs. The resulting synergistic effect leads to a remarkable increase in photocatalytic H 2 evolution, with an apparent quantum yield of 44.64 % at 400 nm. Furthermore, we explore the selective polarized photo-induced carrier separation behavior, revealing a distinct chiral-dependent photocatalytic HER performance. Our work advances the design and utilization of chiral inorganic nanostructures for superior performance in energy conversion processes.
