The domestic cast stone industrial production is of high energy consumption and low productivity, so a new cast stone roller kiln is firstly developed. A combustion control approach is advanced to accommodate the new roller kiln architecture and meet the combustion control requirements. Continuous proportion and pulse control methods are adopted to the high-speed isothermal burners with internal dense distribution. Two controllers mutually collaborated in pairs to obtain the internal uniform temperature. The implementation of the combustion control scheme is put forward. The application results demonstrated that the new roller kiln and combustion controller could effectively decrease the furnace temperature difference, increase stability of the combustion atmosphere, improve product quality, reduce energy consumption and NOx emissions.

The Underground is one of the most important means of transport providing high passengers’ transportability. Along with plentiful advantages such as high speed, ecological compatibility, high safety and others the Underground has a considerable disadvantage, that is,high energy consumption. Nowadays perspective directions of efficiency increasing are the development and introduction of advanced electrical vehicles technologies and new methods of brake-release mode optimization.

Gas-permeable film can separate air and water, and at the same time, let oxygen diffuse from the air to the water through the film. An oxygen supply method using this film was investigated for the purpose of reducing energy consumption for wastewater treatment. The oxygen transfer rate was measured for the cases with or without biofilm, which proved the high rate of oxygen transfer in the case with nitrifying biofilm which performed nitrification. When the Gas-permeable film with nitrifying biofilm was applied to the treatment of wastewater, denitrifying biofilm formed on the nitrifying biofilm, and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification occurred, resulting in the high rate of organic matter and T-N removal (7 gTOC/m2/d and 4 gT-N/m2/d, respectively). However, periodic sloughing of the denitrifying biofilm was needed to keep the oxygen transfer rate high. Energy consumption of the process using the film in the form of tubes was estimated to be less than 40% of that of the activated sludge process.

Some issues in pharmaceutical therapies such as instability, poor membrane permeability, and bioavailability of drugs can be solved by the design of suitable delivery systems based on the combination of two pillar classes of ingredients: polymers and lipids. At the same time, modern technologies are required to overcome production limitations (low productivity, high energy consumption, expensive setup, long process times) to pass at the industrial level. In this paper, a summary of applications of polymeric and lipid materials combined as nanostructures (hybrid nanocarriers) is reported. Then, recent techniques adopted in the production of hybrid nanoparticles are discussed, highlighting limitations still present that hold back the industrial implementation.

<p>In recent years, drones have become widely used in many fields. Their vertical flight capability makes these systems suitable for carrying out a variety of tasks. In this paper, the delivery service they provide is analysed. The delivery of goods quickly and to remote areas is a relevant application scenario; however, the systems proposed in the literature use electromagnets, which affect the duration of the flight. In addition, these devices are heavy and suffer from high energy consumption, which reduces the maximum transportable payload. This study proposes a new lightweight magnetic plate composed of permanent magnets, capable of collecting and positioning any object as long as it has a ferromagnetic surface on the top. This plate was developed for the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge 2020, an international robotics competition for multi-robot systems. Challenge two of this competition required a drone capable of picking up different types of bricks and assembling them to build a wall according to an assigned pattern. The bricks were of different colours and sizes, with weights ranging from 1 to 2 kg. In light of this, it was concluded that weight was the most relevant specification to consider in drone design.</p>

Considering the problems such as long duration of defrosting, low working reliability and high energy consumption of refrigerated containers, this paper put forward a new defrosting method combining air and electro-thermal energy, and designed a new defrosting structure system based on the structural features of refrigeration modules of refrigerated containers. The two-variable method of wind pressure change and temperature difference change on both sides of the evaporator was used to detect frosting, and the specific controlling strategy supporting the new defrosting system was provided to realize the effect of intelligent defrosting. It can provide references for fast defrosting, intelligent defrosting and low energy consumption defrosting of refrigerated containers.

In cement industry, many grinding up systems are on operating now. The tradition process of tube mill grinding system is high energy consumption, so it’s low efficiency, especially in the final cement grinding process. The value and advantage of slag is recognized more and more, but it’s difficult to be grinded up. Furthermore, the disadvantage and shortages to grind up clinker compounded with slag to produce cement are obvious and adopted. The best process is to grind up slag, clinker separately. Then, these two kinds of powder are compounded by a mixer. Hereby, it introduces a design of the process to grind up clinker, slag by one roller mill.

Cloud computing offers a variety of services, including the dynamic availability of computing resources. Its infrastructure is designed to support the accessibility and availability of various consumer services via the Internet. The number of data centers allow the allocation of the applications, and the process of data in the cloud is increasing over time. This implies high energy consumption, thus contributing to large emissions of CO2 gas. For this reason, solutions are needed to minimize this power consumption, such as virtualization, migration, consolidation, and efficient traffic-aware virtual machine scheduling. In this article, the authors propose two efficient strategies for VM scheduling. SchedCT approach is based on dynamic CPU utilization and temperature thresholds. SchedCR approach takes into consideration dynamic CPU utilization, RAM capacity, and temperature thresholds. These approaches have efficiently decreased the energy consumption of the data centers, the number of VM migrations, and SLA violations, and this reduces, therefore, the emission of CO2 gas.

As is well-known, the problem of fresh water has always been a major problem for ocean navigation. The existing marine seawater desalination equipment generally has the disadvantages of large volume, high energy consumption and easy to pollute the environment. Based on this, we proposed a small seawater desalination system based on phase change to enhance heat transfer, which realized low temperature and low energy consumption by using the loop heat pipe technology, a new type of heat sink type spoiler evaporator and an integrated equal-heat plate fin condenser. The device is suitable for islands, fishing boats and other complicated areas where power is scarce and fresh water resources are scarce. It can also be used as fresh water emergency equipment for large ships, saving energy and being portable.
