Summary: This paper discusses and classifies different SCR catalyst models and compares them. SCR has become the industry standard for NOx abatement in heavy-duty vehicles. Two popular control-oriented models, one based on a continuously stirred-tank reactor approximation and the other based on a quasi-static behavior of the gas phase, are implemented and compared. The results show that assuming a quasi-static behavior of the gas phase in the catalyst gives better results in terms of accuracy and simulation time, especially for predicting ammonia slip.

Summary: The experimental study evaluates the material compatibility and corrosion characteristics of engine components in methanol-gasoline blends. The results show that increasing the methanol percentage intensifies the corrosiveness of fuel samples and the presence of oxygen in methanol contributes to metal corrosion. The piston exhibits lesser resistance to corrosion compared to the piston ring and valve, and corrosion attack is higher on the engine component surfaces exposed to higher methanol concentrations. Lower methanol concentrations are more suitable for SI engines due to minimal corrosiveness on engine components. Recommendations are provided to enhance the performance of engine components against methanol corrosion.

Summary: Switched reluctance motors (SRM) are attracting attention from the industry due to their simple construction, high reliability, and efficiency. However, controlling SRM is challenging due to its nonlinearities and variable parameters. This study proposes a novel approach combining model-in-loop and hardware-in-loop simulations to control the speed and torque of SRM. The proposed adaptive supervisory self-learning control approach (ASSC) effectively reduces speed variations and exhibits better performance compared to other control approaches. Experimentation confirms the simulation results and demonstrates the improved efficiency of SRM with the recommended ASSC controller.

Summary: The utilization of smart water in EOR operations has gained attention, but more research is needed to understand the complex mechanisms involved. This study investigated the interfacial tension between smart water and crude oil, considering factors such as salt, pH, asphaltene type, and aged smart water. The results revealed that the hydration of ions in smart water plays a key role in its efficacy, with acidic and basic asphaltene acting as intrinsic surfactants. The pH also influenced the interfacial tension, and the aged smart water's interaction with crude oil depended on asphaltene type, salt, and salinity.

Summary: In this study, high-performance solid catalysts based on phosphotungstic acid (HPW) supported on Zr-SBA-15 were synthesized and evaluated for the one-pot conversion of furfural (FUR) to γ-valerolactone (GVL). The catalysts were characterized using various techniques, and the ratio of HPW and Zr was found to significantly affect the selectivity of GVL. The HPW/Zr-SBA-15 (2-4-15) catalyst exhibited the highest GVL yield (83%) under optimized reaction conditions, and it was determined that a balance between Bronsted acid sites (BAS) and Lewis acid sites (LAS) was crucial for achieving higher catalytic performance. The reaction parameters and catalyst stability were also investigated.
