Summary: Based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory, this study investigates the forced and free dynamic responses of nanobeams resting on a three-parameter foundation subjected to a moving force in magneto-hygro-thermal conditions. Through a detailed parametric study, the impact of different parameters on the vibration characteristics of the system is identified, and the accuracy of the proposed model is verified through comparative studies with existing results in the literature. The results demonstrate that unwanted vibrations of the system can be suppressed by fine-tuning parameters and environmental conditions.

Summary: Once active sites and selectivity are fully resolved, metal-free catalysts like 3D graphene or carbon nanotubes (CNT) can effectively substitute expensive noble metals for catalyzing CO2. CO2 hydrogenation into hydrocarbon compounds offers a promising method to convert environmental wastes into useful energy storage or industrial wealth, while also addressing the environmental and energy issues caused by CO2 emissions. The progress made in utilizing three-dimensional (3D) nanomaterials and their compounds as catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation is discussed, along with recent advances in catalytic performance and conversion mechanism using experiments and DFT simulations.

Summary: With increased development and electricity generation, it is crucial to consider energy storage systems to overcome the discontinuity in renewable production. Hydrogen is an ideal energy carrier for future mobility, such as automotive applications. However, current hydrogen storage materials do not meet all requirements in terms of storage capacity and commercialization. Developing new materials with large surface area, homogeneous texture, active-conductive profiles, large oxygen vacancies, and low cost is crucial. Multiphase materials composed of these materials can meet the requirements in this field.

Summary: Due to environmental concerns and regulations, there is a high demand for sustainable corrosion inhibitors. This study synthesized amide N-(4-aminobutyl)palmitamide (BAPA) using a green and rapid technique, which showed a higher yield and shorter reaction time compared to conventional methods. BAPA was found to delay and reduce corrosion on mild steel by forming a protective layer, with the inhibition efficiency increasing with amide concentration.

Summary: The study aimed to find the most suitable nanofluid for cooling photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) systems in the harsh summer conditions of Baghdad. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were selected as additive particles, and various parameters were tested. Water was chosen as the base fluid, and when 1% MWCNT mass fraction was added, the thermal conductivity (TC) of all tested fluids increased significantly. A nanofluid consisting of 0.5% MWCNTs, water, and CTAB as the surfactant was found to be the most effective. This nanofluid-cooled PVT system achieved higher electrical and thermal efficiencies compared to standalone PV and water-cooled PVT systems, confirming its suitability for the severe weather conditions of Baghdad.

Summary: In this study, optimal management of energy demand in the electrical distribution grid is achieved through interval optimization approach under electrical price uncertainty. The management is implemented via incentive-based modeling of the demand response programs, which proposes a reserve-based modeling and bid price reduction of electrical demand at peak hours. The interval optimization approach is used to minimize the effects of electrical price uncertainty, with the main objective being to minimize operation cost. The proposed modeling is validated through numerical simulation results and demonstrates positive effects under uncertainties.
