Abstract An integrated aero-cryogel (A-CG) monolith with hierarchical porous structure was developed by inter-crosslinking of cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposite aerogel and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) cryogel. The photothermal nanoparticles-enriched CMC cryogel phase served as a sunlight absorbing layer, exhibiting a broadband sunlight absorption of 98%. Due to the large amount of weakly bounded water molecules, the swelled CMC cryogel possessed a lower evaporation enthalpy than that of pure water, which facilitates water evaporation, while the nanocomposite aerogel phase acted as an excellent thermal insulator and afforded highly efficient water transport channels. Thus, the developed A-CG monolith supported by insulated polystyrene foam to protrude above the water surface, could reach an evaporation rate of 2.16 kg m-2 h-1 under an irradiation of 1 Sun (100 mw/cm2) with an efficiency of 93.6%. More remarkably, when the wind energy was imparted, an evaporation rate of 5.67 kg m-2 h-1 was achieved at a wind speed of 3 m s-1. The high-efficiency purification outcomes of various raw water demonstrate the great potentials of A-CG material in solar vapor generation.

Abstract The enthalpy of isopropanol adsorption on ZSM-5 (Zeolite Socony Mobil Framework Type MFI) was determined by the static adsorption method at the temperature range from 20°C to 100°C. Langmuir and Huttig models of equilibrium adsorption have been used to calculate the enthalpy of isopropanol adsorption at these conditions. Adsorption isotherms determined by the flow method at 20°C and 30°C have been also used in the calculations. The obtained values of isopropanol adsorption enthalpy were compared with the values of isopropanol evaporation enthalpy and with the results obtained from isopropanol and water desorption measurements with thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry methods.

Abstract In the paper presented are definitions of specific indicators of power which characterize the operation of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) plant. These quantities have been presented as function of evaporation temperature for selected working fluids of ORC installation. In the paper presented also is the procedure for selection of working fluid with the view of obtaining maximum power. In the procedure of selection of working fluid the mentioned above indicators are of primary importance. In order to obtain maximum power there ought to be selected such working fluids which evaporate close to critical conditions. The value of this indicator increases when evaporation enthalpy decreases and it is known that the latent heat of evaporation decreases with temperature and reaches a value of zero at the critical point.
