In nonmetallic crystals, heat is transported by phonons of different frequencies, each contributing differently to the overall heat flux spectrum. In this study, we demonstrate a significant redistribution of heat flux among phonon frequencies when phonons transmit across the interface between dissimilar solids. This redistribution arises from the natural tendency of phononic heat to re-establish the bulk distribution characteristic of the material through which it propagates. Remarkably, while the heat flux spectra of dissimilar solids are typically distinct in their bulk forms, they can become nearly identical in superlattices or sandwich structures where the layer thicknesses are smaller than the phonon mean free paths. This phenomenon reflects that the redistribution of heat among phonon frequencies to the bulk distribution does not occur instantaneously at the interface, rather it develops over a distance on the order of phonon mean-free-paths.

Dropwise condensation (DWC) is a widely studied vapor-liquid phase-change process that has attracted significant research attention due to its exceptional energy transfer efficiency. Therefore, it is highly important to predict the heat transfer rate during DWC and the factors that affect it. This study presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation on DWC heat transfer under diverse circumstances for a single droplet on inclined and rough surfaces with Wenzel structure.

Large amounts of wastewater are produced from semiconductor manufacturing, and the production energy consumption has skyrocketed with its global demand in recent years. Forward osmosis (FO) provides unique merits in reclaiming the wastewater if suitable draw solutes with high water flux, low leakage, and limited energy requirement in regeneration are available. Two lower critical solution temperature-ionic liquids (LCST-ILs), tetrabutylphosphonium trimethylbenzensulfonate ([P][TMBS]) and tetrabutylphosphonium maleate ([P][Mal]) were synthesized and systematically assessed as recycled draw solutes in FO for the water reclamation from the wastewater of Si-ingot sawing.

The evolution of the lunar magnetic field can reveal the Moon's interior structure, thermal history, and surface environment. The mid-to-late-stage evolution of the lunar magnetic field is poorly constrained, and thus, the existence of a long-lived lunar dynamo remains controversial. The Chang'e-5 mission returned the heretofore youngest mare basalts from Oceanus Procellarum uniquely positioned at midlatitude.

Currently, coke with significant differences in CRI/CSR (coke reactivity index and coke strength after reaction) can already be effectively utilized in blast furnaces (BFs). However, there remains a considerable controversy on the replaceability of high and low CRI/CSR coke. Therefore, an analysis was conducted on the metallurgical performance of C1, C2, and C3(CRI:C3 > C2 > C1&CSR:C3 < C2 < C1) through simulated BF under the ore-coke coexistence (OCC) experiment.
