Summary: Replacing normal weight aggregate with waste or by-product materials is a suitable method for producing sustainable cement-based materials, which can result in energy-efficient components and reduced environmental impact. This study investigates the thermophysical properties of innovative mortar and concrete containing oil palm boiler clinker (OPBC) as aggregate, and calculates time lag and decrement factor in different wall systems based on EN ISO 13786 using Python 3.7 (NumPy and math modules). The results show that mortar with OPBC has a slightly reduced decrement factor and increased time lag, while OPBC concrete has a 34% reduction in decrement factor and a 58% increase in time lag compared to conventional concrete.

Summary: Using hybrid nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (Nano-PCM) in double-glazed windows can improve thermal inertia and insulation, but excessive photothermal conversion capacity leads to local overheating in summer and affects thermal comfort. However, it also impacts natural lighting due to changes in visible light transmittance. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of glazed windows filled with hybrid Nano-PCM is necessary. This study prepared Al2O3-CuO hybrid Nano-PCMs and evaluated their optical properties. A numerical simulation model was developed to study the optical and thermal performance of glazed units. The results showed positive effects in terms of energy and economic saving, with the best performance achieved at a CuO:Al2O3 ratio of 4:6.

Summary: Vibration and magnetic field can enhance the hydrothermal performance by disturbing the thermal boundary layer and increasing the ferrofluid mixing. Experimental analysis was conducted to study the effects of vibration and rotational magnetic field (RMF) on ferrofluid flow inside a rifled tube. The results showed that the system with a pitch of 5 mm exhibited the highest performance evaluation criterion (PEC). Without vibration and RMF effects, the highest PEC was obtained at a pitch of 5 mm and nanoparticle concentration of 0% with a Reynolds number of 2000. Under vibration, the highest PEC of 1.28 was achieved at a Reynolds number of 2000 and nanoparticle concentration of 2% with the highest vibration acceleration of 5 m/s2. Among the RMFs examined, the counter clock-wise RMF with the counter clock-wise fluid flow resulted in the highest PEC of 1.62. RMF improved the PEC of the system by 21.32% under vibration.

Summary: The study aimed to measure the energy use, thermal comfort, and the impact of cooling surface area and water inlet flow velocities on the performance of TABS with natural ventilation assistance in a warm and humid environment. The results showed that natural ventilation significantly increased the average indoor air temperature by 1.5 degrees C. Increasing the water inlet velocity from 0.35 to 1.5 m/s substantially reduced the thermal energy stored in the TABS system, leading to a 2 degrees C decrease in the average indoor temperature. The study found that a water inlet velocity of 1 m/s was optimal in terms of comfort and energy consumption.

Thus, the presence of an air layer between the PCM layer and the roof is proven to be significant.

Summary: Paraffin, as a phase change material (PCM), is widely used in solar energy storage and utilization. However, its poor photothermal properties restrict its application due to low thermal conductivity and weak spectral absorption. In this study, a hybrid PCM-based nanofluid was developed by incorporating zinc (Zn) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles into paraffin wax, and its thermal and optical properties were experimentally investigated. The results showed that the addition of Zn and ZnO nanoparticles improved the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the nanofluid. However, the transmission of the nanofluid decreased with increasing optical length and nanoparticles concentration. The Zn-ZnO/paraffin hybrid nanofluid exhibited enhanced photothermal properties at lower concentrations and higher irradiance range, with a maximum photothermal conversion efficiency of 42.97%.

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.
