Experimentally determining thermophysical properties for various compositions commonly found in CO transportation systems is extremely challenging. To overcome this challenge, we performed Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of CO rich mixtures to compute thermophysical properties such as densities, thermal expansion coefficients, isothermal compressibilities, heat capacities, Joule-Thomson coefficients, speed of sound, and viscosities at temperatures of (235-313) K and pressures of (20-200) bar. We computed thermophysical properties of pure CO and CO rich mixtures with N, Ar, H, and CH as impurities of (1-10) mol % and showed good agreement with available Equations of State (EoS). We showed that impurities decrease the values of thermal expansion coefficients, isothermal compressibilities, heat capacities, and Joule-Thomson coefficients in the gas phase, while these values increase in the liquid and supercritical phases. In contrast, impurities increase the value of speed of sound in the gas phase and decrease it in the liquid and supercritical phases. We present an extensive data set of thermophysical properties for CO rich mixtures with various impurities, which will help to design the safe and efficient operation of CO transportation systems.

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the intrinsic properties of RNiP (where R = Sm, Eu) filled skutterudite, employing the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within density functional theory (DFT) simulations using the WIEN2k framework. Structural, phonon stability, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, transport, thermal, and optical properties are thoroughly explored to provide a holistic understanding of these materials. Initially, the structural stability of SmNiP and EuNiP is rigorously evaluated through ground-state energy calculations obtained from structural optimizations, revealing a preference for a stable ferromagnetic phase over competing antiferromagnetic and non-magnetic phases.

Early disease diagnosis hinges on the sensitive detection of signaling molecules. Among these, hydrogen sulfide (HS) has emerged as a critical player in cardiovascular and nervous system signaling. On-chip immunoassays, particularly nanoarray-based interfacial detection, offer promising avenues for ultra-sensitive analysis due to their confined reaction volumes and precise signal localization.

This study explores the thermal conductivity and viscosity of water-based nanofluids containing silicon dioxide, graphene oxide, titanium dioxide, and their hybrids across various concentrations (0 to 1 vol%) and temperatures (30 to 60 °C). The nanofluids, characterized using multiple methods, exhibited increased viscosity and thermal conductivity compared to water, with hybrid nanofluids showing superior performance. Graphene oxide nanofluids displayed the highest thermal conductivity and viscosity ratios, with increases of 52% and 177% at 60 °C and 30 °C, respectively, for a concentration of 1 vol% compared to base fluid.

Direct harvesting of abundant solar thermal energy within organic phase-change materials (PCMs) has emerged as a promising way to overcome the intermittency of renewable solar energy and pursue high-efficiency heating-related applications. Organic PCMs, however, generally suffer from several common shortcomings including melting-induced leakage, poor solar absorption, and low thermal conductivity. Compounding organic PCMs with single-component carbon materials faces the difficulty in achieving optimized comprehensive performance enhancement.
