Summary: The addition of a small amount of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymer to water droplets significantly changes the impact phenomena on superhydrophobic mesh surfaces and suppresses spray formation. The interaction between polymer chains and the superhydrophobic mesh surface leads to the suppression of droplet rebound and deposition of PEO droplets. Liquid penetration and formation of ligaments occur after a critical impact velocity and We number, but ligament instability and droplet detachment are observed under certain conditions.

Summary: This paper investigates the bouncing behavior of water droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces and finds a nonmonotonic relationship between the restitution coefficient and the Weber number. Droplet-surface friction limits the rebound height, and above a critical value, viscous friction dominates. Semiempirical formulas are proposed to describe the restitution coefficient, allowing for the prediction of successive rebounds.

Summary: In the past decade, there has been a growing interest in studying energy systems for the combined management of power vectors. Most of the published works focus on finding the optimal design and operations of Multi Energy Systems (MES). However, for newcomers to this field, understanding how to achieve the desired optimization details while controlling computational expenses can be challenging and time-consuming. This paper presents a novel approach to analyzing the existing literature on MES, with the aim of guiding practical development of MES optimization. Through the discussion of six case studies, the authors provide a mathematical formulation as a reference for building the model and emphasize the impact of different aspects on the problem nature and solver selection. In addition, the paper also discusses the different approaches used in the literature for incorporating thermal networks and storage in the optimization of multi-energy systems.

Summary: This paper investigates the heat transfer mechanism and factors influencing thermal radiation in the process of supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of coal, and proposes a comprehensive numerical model to simulate the process. Experimental validation results show that thermal radiation accounts for a significant proportion of the total heat exchange in the reactor and a large amount of radiant energy exists in the important spectral range of supercritical water. Enhancing radiative heat transfer can effectively increase the temperature of the reaction medium and the gasification rate.
