This protocol describes the use of a simple 1D numerical model to evaluate a single-stage (magneto)caloric refrigerating device with static thermal switches. The model can be used to find appropriate values of parameters that lead to a significant refrigerating effect and COP of the device. The modeled device can comprise any type of static thermal switch in combination with any kind of magnetocaloric or electrocaloric material. Simulation parameters need to be set with care for acceptable computational time. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Klinar et al. (2022).

This study investigates the morphology and thermo-mechanical properties of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes for potential use in high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage systems. Particular attention is given to a novel type of PEX pipe produced through photoinitiated cross-linking (PEX-e). Two formulations, PEX-e1 and PEX-e2, were analyzed and compared to peroxide-cross-linked polyethylene (PEX-a) and non-cross-linked bimodal polyethylene (PE100) pipes.

Heterogeneous fault architecture affects crustal seismotectonics and fluid migration. When studying it, we commonly rely on static conceptual models that generally overlook the absolute time dimension of fault (re)activation. Heterogenous faults, however, represent the end-result of protracted, cumulative and intricate deformation histories.

Ectotherms are considered more susceptible to global warming. Variations in ambient temperature are especially alarming as the majority of animals are ectothermic, with temperature seen as a crucial determinant of their ecology, biogeography, behaviour, and physiology. Ectotherms, which depend on external ambient temperatures to regulate their body temperature, exhibit various physiological and metabolic responses to variations in temperature.

Titanium alloy is known for its low thermal conductivity, small elastic modulus, and propensity for work hardening, posing challenges in predicting surface quality post high-speed milling. Since surface quality significantly influences wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance of parts, optimizing milling parameters becomes crucial for enhancing service performance. This paper proposes a milling parameter optimization method utilizing the snake algorithm with multi-strategy fusion to improve surface quality.
