AI Article Synopsis
- * A model simulating heat transfer between water and LNG, based on pure methane, reveals rapid cooling and ice formation when LNG spills into shallow, confined water.
- * The formation of ice affects LNG's vaporization rates; initially decreasing during film boiling, then rising during transition boiling, and eventually declining again during nucleate boiling.
Article Abstract
The spillage of LNG on water surfaces can lead, under certain circumstances, to a decrease in the surface temperature of water and subsequent freezing. A model for heat transfer from water to LNG is proposed and used to calculate the surface temperature of water and examine its influence on the vaporization rate of LNG. For this purpose LNG was modeled based on the properties of pure methane. It was concluded that when LNG spills on a confined, shallow-water surface the surface temperature of water will decrease rapidly leading to ice formation. The formation of an ice layer, that will continue to grow for the duration of the spill, will have a profound effect upon the vaporization rate. The decreasing surface temperature of ice will decrease the temperature differential between LNG and ice that drives the heat transfer and will lead to a change of the boiling regime. The overall effect would be that the vaporization flux would first decrease during the film boiling; followed by an increase during the transition boiling and a steady decrease during the nucleate boiling.

The relationship between the structure and function of condensed matter is complex and changeable, which is especially suitable for combination with machine learning to quickly obtain optimized experimental conditions. However, little research has been done on the effect of temperature on condensed matter and how it affects device performance because the difference between the in situ physical property parameters (which are lowered by the surface tension and mixing entropy) and the basic parameters of the bulk makes accurate AI predictions difficult. In this work, P3HT/ITIC was chosen as the donor/acceptor material for the active layer of organic phototransistors (OPTs).

In the present study, magnetic-calcined bamboo composite adsorbents (MCBC200, MCBC400, MCBC600, MCBC800, and MCBC1000) were prepared, and their physicochemical characteristics (scanning electron microscope images, differential thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform-IR, specific surface area, surface functional groups, and point of zero charge [pH]) were evaluated. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB, cationic dye) using the prepared adsorbents was assessed. The value of pH and the specific surface area of MCBC400 were 7.

Methods for electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions have garnered widespread attention due to their high sensitivity, ease of operation, low cost, and suitability for on-site detection. However, these methods typically require a pre-enrichment step to improve the detection limit and sensitivity, which increases operational complexity and introduces potential errors. In this study, tungsten oxide electrodes with various functional groups were prepared by electrodeposition and high-temperature annealing, utilizing the amphoteric properties of l-alanine.
