“…The results showed that nasopharynx obstruction can induce significantly biased flow distribution in the central nasal passage even if the obstruction site is downstream of the nasal airway. Some review papers offered several works; for example, Tian and Ahmadi [90] studied the current state of computational modeling of micron and nano-elongated particle dynamics and their application to fiber transport and deposition in human respiratory airways; the most versatile and practical approach was the Eulerian-Lagrangian. Ma et al [91] analyzed the parameters that affect the thermal performance of latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTES), including the inlet temperature of the heat transfer fluid, heat transfer rate, properties of the phase-change materials (PCMs), phase-change temperature, geometric parameters, and water tube layout, among others.…”

A review of desiccant dehumidification technologies for improving air quality is presented, mainly focusing on alternatives for air conditioning systems for minimizing Sick Building Syndrome. The principles and types of desiccant wheels, as well as the existing selection software for these types of equipment, were reviewed and comparatively evaluated. The study focused on the Brazilian context; thus, information about this country’s air conditioning systems and laws were evaluated. Possible applications of desiccant wheels, such as their integration into cooling cycles and the sensible heat wheel, were also analyzed. Finally, several examples of commercial desiccant wheel selection software that are useful in many situations were evaluated. Nevertheless, it was evidenced that the available software could not perform an operation analysis for only a specific period. Therefore, creating computational tools to select desiccant wheels is essential when considering the data from the different Brazilian regions for a year.

“…Nowadays, ozone pollution is becoming increasingly serious worldwide, threatening environmental safety and human health. , Outdoor ozone pollution mainly originates from exhaust of industrial fields like deodorization, wastewater treatment, bleaching, and sterilization, while indoor ozone pollution is caused by common electronic equipment such as copiers, air purifiers, dish washers, and air conditioners . Due to the resonance stability, the half-time of ozone is as long as 160 h at 25 °C, , which necessitates a safe, effective, and economical method to remove ozone pollution .…”

Nowadays, it is still elusive and challenging to discover the active sites of cobalt (Co) cations in different coordination structures, though Co-based oxides show their great potency in catalytic ozone elimination for air cleaning. Herein, different Co-based oxides are controllably synthesized including hexagonal wurtzite CoO-W with Co2+ in tetrahedral coordination (CoTd 2+) and CoAl spinel with dominant CoTd 2+, cubic rock salt CoO-R with Co2+ in octahedral coordination (CoOh 2+), MgCo spinel with dominant Co3+ in octahedral coordination (CoOh 3+), and Co3O4 with mixed CoTd 2+ and CoOh 3+. The valences are proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the coordinations are verified by X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. The ozone decomposition performances are CoOh 3+ ∼ CoOh 2+ ≫ CoTd 2+, and CoOh 3+ and CoOh 2+ show a lower apparent activation energy of ∼42–44 kJ/mol than CoTd 2+ (∼55 kJ/mol). In specific, MgCo shows the highest decomposition efficiency of 95% toward 100 ppm ozone at a high space velocity of 1,200,000 mL/gh, which still retains at 80% after a long-term running of 36 h at room temperature. The high activity is explained by the d-orbital splitting in the octahedral coordination, favoring the electron transfer in ozone decomposition reactions, which is also verified by the simulation. These results show the promising prospect of the coordination tuning of Co-based oxides for highly active ozone decomposition catalysts.
