Review of Conductive Reciprocating Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamic Generators
Published on 2025-02-17 by Lingzhi Zhao, Aiwu Peng @MDPI
Abstract: Reciprocating liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation is a new MHD power generation method in which the working fluid is a single-phase liquid metal with a low melting point and high conductivity. The internal combustion stroke of automobiles, ocean waves, sound waves and other reciprocating external forces drive the liquid metal to flow back and forth in an applied magnetic field, generating single-phase alternating current (AC) energy. Reciprocating liquid metal MHD (LMMHD) pow[...]

Generalized Solvent Effect on the Fluorescence Performance of Spiropyran for Advanced Quick Response Code Dynamic Anti-Counterfeiting Sensing
Published on 2025-02-12 by Junji Xuan, Lingjie Chen, Jintao Tian @MDPI
Abstract: Spiropyran has an attractive and mysterious fluorescence switch and dual-color conversion characteristics, as it exhibits both aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) in solvents and fluorescence enhancement in polymer matrices. The explanation for this phenomenon has always been of great controversy. Hence, the solvent effect on the emission of spiropyran (SP) was investigated in 16 solvents. By means of molecular orbital theory and the Jablonski diagram, several special parameters (e.g., Hansen sol[...]
Our summary: Investigation of solvent effect on spiropyran fluorescence, explanation of unique properties, proposal of generalized solvent effect, improvement of anti-counterfeiting QR code sensor.

Numerical Simulation of Effects of Mold Cavity and Submerged Entry Nozzle on Flow, Heat Transfer and Solidification in Funnel-Type Molds for Thin Slab Casting
Published on 2025-02-11 by Zhaoyang Li, Yao Lu, Rudong Wang, Gengyang Li, Heng Cui @MDPI
Abstract: As the third generation of thin slab continuous casting and rolling technology, endless strip production (ESP) has been widely used in the steelmaking industry. The key equipment in this process, the funnel-type mold, is prone to accidents such as slag entrainment, surface cracks and steel leakage under high casting speed conditions. To reduce the incidence of the above accidents, the numerical model of flow, heat transfer and solidification in the funnel-type mold is established by using the k-[...]
