The proper process of applying heat to many technological devices is a significant challenge. There are many nanofluids of different sizes used inside the system. The current study combines this potential to improve convection effects, considering numerical simulations of natural convection using Cu/water nanofluids in a square enclosure with bottom blocks embedded in baffles. The enclosure consists of two vertical walls with isothermal boundary conditions; the left wall is the sinusoidal heat source, whereas the right wall is cooled. The investigations dealt with the influences of nanoparticle concentration, Rayleigh number, baffle length, and thermal conductivity ratioon isotherms, stream functions, and average Nusselt number. The results present that, when the Rayleigh number rises, the fluid flow velocity increases, and the heat transfer improves. Furthermore, the baffle length case (L = 0.3) provides higher heat transfer characteristics than other baffle height cases.

Article Synopsis
- * A simulation analysis showed that the presence of a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) significantly increases explosion overpressure and flame propagation speed, making explosions more dangerous.
- * The study also found that higher methane concentrations and longer gas accumulation lengths lead to greater explosion severity, particularly noting that flame speed increases dramatically at a 9.5% methane concentration.

Ultrasonic focusing transducers have broad prospects in advanced ultrasonic non-destructive testing fields. However, conventional focusing methods that use acoustic concave lenses can disrupt the acoustic impedance matching condition, thereby adversely affecting the sensitivity of the transducers. In this paper, an active focusing planar ultrasonic transducer is designed and presented to achieve a focusing effect with a higher sensitivity.

With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle market, the demand for extruded profiles for battery trays, mainly characterized by significant wall thickness differences in multiple chambers, is increasing, posing new challenges to production and quality control. This study examines the multi-objective optimization problem in the design process of aluminum profile dies with multi-cavity profiles and significant wall thickness differences. Using QFORM-extrusion professional aluminum extrusion finite element analysis software and the response surface analysis method, the standard deviation of the velocity (SDV), standard deviation of the pressure (SDP), and thick wall hydrostatic pressure (TWHP) on the profile section at the die exit are optimized.
