Completely Recuperative Supercritical CO2 Recompression Brayton/Absorption Combined Power/Cooling Cycle: Performance Assessment and Optimization by Bing-Chuan Han, Yong-Dong Chen, Gai-Ge Yu, Xiao-Hong Wu, Tao-Tao Zhou

“…Excessive heat losses and water consumption in cooling units are significant constraints restricting the application circumstances and performances for the SCO2 Brayton cycle, and the heat exchange capacity in the precooler (PRC) is typically 1.5 times that of power generation. Therefore, this research offers a high-integrated combined power/cooling system in which two waste heat exchangers (WHEs) and a rectifier (RET) are used instead of the PRC to achieve 100% exhaust heat recovery. …”

Effect of Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) Internal Curing Agent on Carbonation Resistance and Hydration Performance of Cement Concrete by Jieting Xu, Xiao Qin, Zhenying Huang, Yongkang Lin, Ben Li, Zhengzhuan Xie

“…The results showed that (i) when the particle size and dosage of SAP were 100 mesh and 0.200%, the carbonation depth of internally cured concrete was only 56.5% of the control group on day 28; (ii) the Ca(OH)2 absorption peak area of SAP-concrete in the FTIR spectra could be increased by 3.38 times than that of the control group, and more C2S and C3S were translated into Ca(OH)2, which helped to improve the hydration degree of cement concrete; (iii) the hydration products of day 56 were increased significantly and the remaining pores formed by SAP gels were gradually filled by hydration products, which enhanced the compactness and carbonation resistance of cement concrete.…”

Surface Quality Monitoring and Improvement for Dimensional Metrology in Inline CT by Denoising with Neural Networks and Fast Surface Quality Metric by Faizan Ahmad, Ahmed Baraka, César Cardona-Marin, Steffen Kieß, Dominik Wolfschläger, Robert H. Schmitt, Sven Simon

“… Inline computed tomography (CT) is becoming increasingly important for 100% inspection in production technology. However, the short machine cycle times—often just a few minutes—require either fewer X-ray projections or shorter detector exposure times, significantly reducing photon counts by one to two orders of magnitude compared to lab-based CT systems. …”
