Numerical analysis of the heat extraction performance of mine backfill heat exchanger based on phase change heat storage (PCHS-BFHE) by Pai Ning, Feng Ju, Juan Xu, Meng Xiao, Tengfei Wang, Dong Wang, Lu Si

“…Deep mines contain a large amount of hot-rock geothermal energy, and one method to exploit it is to construct a backfill heat exchanger based on phase change heat storage (PCHS-BFHE) in the mine goaf. In this paper, the influence of the thermophysical parameters of phase change heat storage backfill (PCHSB), the heat extraction conditions, the groundwater seepage, and the heat exchange tube (HET) connection pattern on the heat extraction performance of PCHS-BFHE has been analyzed through numerical simulation, and a method for determining the reasonable tube spacing of the multi-tube series model has been proposed. …”

The Use of Le Bail Method to Analyze the Semicrystalline Pattern of a Nanocomposite Based on Polyaniline Emeraldine-Salt Form and α-Al2O3 by Edgar A. Sanches, Adriano de S. Carolino, Amanda L. dos Santos, Edson G. R. Fernandes, Daniela M. Trichês, Yvonne P. Mascarenhas

“…Nanocomposite DC electrical conductivity was found around 0.24 S/cm (against 1.84×10-4 S/cm for pure PANI-ES), showing an increase of about 1,300 times compared to the pure PANI-ES at room temperature. Thus, this paper showed that both materials have kept its original structural characteristics and exhibited high electrical conductivity when combined in nanocomposite form.…”

The Contemporary Critical Reception of Walter Pater: Retrospective and Proleptical Views by Geoffrey Sadock

“…Leading scholars have devoted the better part of their professional lives to him and have become far more reliable and candid authorities than any who wrote between the 1860s and the 1970s.It is high time for scholars concerned about his literary reputation to assess 20th and 21st century perceptions of Pater, to elucidate his continuing hold on the modern literary imagination, and to review the critical tradition of the last 35 years. This paper attempts to do just that. By showing the shift from hostile modernism to a more open and inclusive conception of his literary persona, I explain why Pater is no longer dismissed as precieux and inconsequential by the guardians of High Culture (such as Eliot) but is recognized as an original who synthesized personal preoccupations and aesthetic/critical response to various art forms, nature, and persons. …”

New Detailed Modeling of GICs in the Spanish Power Transmission Grid by J. M. Torta, S. Marsal, J. Ledo, P. Queralt, V. Canillas‐Pérez, P. Piña‐Varas, J. J. Curto, A. Marcuello, A. Martí

“…This endeavor, however, entails an interdisciplinary approach, ranging from the characterization of the geoelectrical structure of the Earth beneath and around the area of interest, or the modeling of the power network from its parameters and topology, and including the validation of the modeling process by means of (direct or indirect) GIC flow measurements. In this paper, we summarize our current achievements focused on mainland Spain, concentrating on the improvements reached after going from a homogeneous Earth's resistivity to an alternative 3D electrical resistivity distribution approach to geoelectric field computation, which is still in progress because new empirical impedance tensors are needed, mainly at sites in the west of the Iberian Peninsula. …”
