Parametric Analysis of Silica Gel for Thermal Energy Storage in Space Heating Applications
High energy density and minimal energy losses render thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems a promising long-term solution for space heating applications. While inorganic salt hydrates are considered effective thermochemical materials, challenges such as cycling stability, agglomeration, and deliquescence during the charging and discharging processes limit their efficacy. Porous matrices, like silica gel (SiO2), present a viable alternative to address these issues.
Investigation of Stratification Performance in Oil-based and Water-based Cylindrical Thermal Storages for Industrial Applications
The present study uses a three-dimensional numerical model to investigate the thermal stratification performance of vertical cylindrical thermal energy storage under simultaneous charging and discharging operations pertinent to low-temperature (below 100 ℃) industrial applications. First, the study investigates an oil-based TES using Hytherm 600 as the heat storage medium, and water circulating through the
Population Dynamics of a Lion-Tailed Macaque (Macaca silenus) Population in a Rainforest Fragment in the Southern Western Ghats of India
Demographic analysis is often used for the effective management of wildlife, especially for species facing human‐caused disturbances to their habitat, such as habitat fragmentation.
Anthropogenic histories, affective geographies: The macaques of urban India
Multispecies ethnographies have begun to understand the sentient lives of nonhuman beings within increasingly human-dominated, ecological contexts of the Anthropocene, especially in India, where the close physical and emotional proximity of humans and macaques over centuries have led to intense interspecies behavioural exchanges and to slow, but irreversible, processes of synurbisation, wherein individual macaques have begun to adapt to urban ecologies.
