The transition from fossil fuels dependency to embracing renewable alternatives is pivotal for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, with biorefineries playing a central role at the forefront of this transition. As a sustainable alternative, lignocellulosic feedstocks hold great promise for biofuels and biochemicals production. However, the effective utilization of complex sugars, such as xylose, remains a significant hurdle.

New transdermal biosensors measure analytes that diffuse from the bloodstream through the skin, making it important to reduce the system response time and understand measurement output. While highly customized models have been created for specific sensors, a generalized model for transdermal sensor systems is lacking. Here, a simple one-dimensional diffusion model was used to characterize the measurement system and classify biosensors as either flux types or concentration types.

Embracing an interaction between the phase change material (PCM) and the droplets of a heat transfer fluid, the direct contact (DC) method suggests a cutting-edge solution for expediting the phase change rates of PCMs in thermal energy storage (TES) units. In the direct contact TES configuration, when impacting the molten PCM pool, droplets evaporate, provoking the formation of a solidified PCM area (A). Then, they reduce the created solid temperature, leading to a minimum temperature value (T).
