Layout Comparison and Parameter Optimization of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Coal-Fired Power Generation Systems under Environmental and Economic Objectives.

In the current studies, the supercritical carbon dioxide coal-fired power generation systems show efficiency and cost advantages over the traditional steam-based power systems. However, few studies have considered simultaneously environmental and economic objectives in the multi-objective analysis process. This study conducts a layout comparison and parameter optimization of the systems under the above two objectives.

Carbon nanotube-fullerene hybrid nanostructures by C₆₀ bombardment: formation and mechanical behavior.

This study reports the investigation on C60 bombardment on the carbon nanotube (CNT) by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. We found that carbon nanotube nanobuds or nanotube-fullerene hybrid nanostructures can be formed by C60 bombardment. Different from the nanobuds in earlier studies, more structural patterns are found in the bombardment formed nanobuds and nanotube-fullerene hybrid nanostructures.
