Using Density Functional Theory and a thermodynamic model [Physical Review B 86, 134418 (2012)], in this paper, we provide an approach to systematically screen compounds of given Heusler family predict ones that can yield giant magnetocaloric effect driven by first-order magneto-structural transition. We apply two series Ni$_{2-x}$Fe$_{x}$Mn$_{1+z-y}$Cu$_{y}$Sb$_{1-z}$ Ni$_{2-x}$Co$_{x}$Mn$_{1+...

The influence of heat transfer characteristics fluids filled with paraffin core-metallic shell nanoencapsulated phase change material (PCM) on photothermal conversion and storage in a volumetrically heated solar system is numerically analysed. results show that paraffin/Al, paraffin/Au, paraffin/Ag, paraffin/Cu enhance the energy by 68, 73, 92 86 %, respectively as compared water-based Al, Au, ...

Estuaries are well known for their potential in removing metal from fresh water to provide micro-nutrients to aquatic life. In the present investigation, we have tried to bring out the metal removal potential of estuaries during accidental spills. For this purpose artificial river water containing high concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb were mixed with sea water at different salinity regime...

MIL-101 (Fe) was modified by amino group and doped Cu Co elements microwave hydrothermal method. The effect of SCR denitrification at low temperature investigated with high concentration NOx as adsorption object. results show that when the flue gas is 200 °C up to 1640 mg/m 3 , removal efficiency can reach 86% under optimal conditions, which 1.5 times higher than before modification. In additio...
