This study investigates the heat and mass transfer characteristics of a MoS₂ nanoparticle suspension in ethylene glycol over a porous stretching sheet. MoS₂ nanoparticles are known for their exceptional thermal and chemical stability which makes it convenient for enhancing the energy and mass transport properties of base fluids. Ethylene glycol, a common coolant in various industrial applications is utilized as the suspending medium due to its superior heat transfer properties. The effects of variable thermal conductivity, variable mass diffusivity, thermal radiation and thermophoresis which are crucial parameters in affecting the transport phenomena of nanofluids are taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations representing the conservation of momentum, energy, and concentration are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations. R software and MATLAB-bvp5c are used to compute the solutions. The impact of key parameters, including the nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic field, Prandtl number, and thermophoresis parameter on the flow, heat and mass transfer rates is systematically examined. The study reveals that the presence of MoS₂ nanoparticles curbs the friction between the fluid and the solid boundary. Moreover, the variable thermal conductivity controls the rate of heat transfer and variable mass diffusivity regulates the rate of mass transfer. The numerical and statistical results computed are mutually justified via tables. The results obtained from this investigation provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of systems involving nanofluid-based heat and mass transfer processes, such as solar collectors, chemical reactors, and heat exchangers. Furthermore, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of stretching sheet systems, such as in manufacturing processes involving continuous casting or polymer film production. The incorporation of MoS₂-C₂H₆O₂ nanofluids can potentially optimize temperature distribution and fluid dynamics.

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of fire accidents in university libraries has posed significant threats to the safety of students' lives and property, alongside negative social impacts. Accurately analyzing the factors affecting evacuation during library fires and proposing optimized measures for safe evacuation is thus crucial. This paper utilizes a specific university library as a case study, simulating fire evacuation scenarios using the Pathfinder software, to assess and validate evacuation strategies and propose relevant optimizations. Pathfinder, developed by Thunderhead Engineering in the United States, is an intuitive and straightforward personnel emergency evacuation assessment system, offering advanced visualization interfaces and 3D animation effects. This study aims to construct evacuation models and perform simulation analysis for the selected university library using Pathfinder. The library's structural layout, people flow characteristics, and the nature of fire and smoke spread are considered in the analysis. Additionally, evacuation scenarios involving different fire outbreak locations and the status of emergency exits are examined. The findings underscore the importance of effective evacuation in fire situations, highlighting how environmental conditions, individual characteristics, and behavioral patterns significantly influence evacuation efficiency. Through these investigations, the study enhances understanding and optimization of evacuation strategies in fire scenarios, thereby improving safety and efficiency. The research not only provides concrete and practical guidelines for building design, management, and emergency response planning in libraries but also offers valuable insights for the design and management of effective evacuation systems in buildings, crucial for ensuring occupant safety and minimizing loss of life in potential hazard situations

Trajectory planning is vital for autonomous systems like robotics and UAVs, as it determines optimal, safe paths considering physical limitations, environmental factors, and agent interactions. Recent advancements in trajectory planning and future location prediction stem from rapid progress in machine learning and optimization algorithms. In this paper, we proposed a novel framework for Spatial-temporal transformer-based feed-forward neural networks (STTFFNs). From the traffic flow local area point of view, skip-gram model is trained on trajectory data to generate embeddings that capture the high-level features of different trajectories. These embeddings can then be used as input to a transformer-based trajectory planning model, which can generate trajectories for new objects based on the embeddings of similar trajectories in the training data. In the next step, distant regions, we embedded feedforward network is responsible for generating the distant trajectories by taking as input a set of features that represent the object's current state and historical data. One advantage of using feedforward networks for distant trajectory planning is their ability to capture long-term dependencies in the data. In the final step of forecasting for future locations, the encoder and decoder are crucial parts of the proposed technique. Spatial destinations are encoded utilizing location-based social networks(LBSN) based on visiting semantic locations. The model has been specially trained to forecast future locations using precise longitude and latitude values. Following rigorous testing on two real-world datasets, Porto and Manhattan, it was discovered that the model outperformed a prediction accuracy of 8.7% previous state-of-the-art methods.

강우사상이 발생함에 따라 시설용량을 초과하여 미처리된 상태로 방류수계에 직접 배출되는 합류식 관거 월류수(Combimed Sewer Overflows, CSOs) 및 분류식 관거 월류수(Separated Sewer Overflows, SSOs)의 관리는 집중호우가 잦아지는 근래에 들어 그 관리가 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 밀집도가 높은 도심지에 적용성이 유리한 여과기술은 지속적인 개발이 이루어지고 있음에도 불구하고 CSOs에 적용된 사례가 거의 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 로프형 섬유여재가 적용된 Pilot 규모의 수평흐름식 여과장치를 CSOs에 적용하기 위해 공정최적화를 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구방법은 인공시료를 적용한 사전연구와 하수를 적용한 현장연구로 구분하여 수행하였다. 인공시료를 적용한 사전연구에서 여재 자체의 손실수두는 약 1.1cm정도로 분석되었고, 선속도 10m/hr 증가에 따라 약 0.1cm 정도의 손실수두 증가를 유발하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, SS 제거효율은 81.4% 정도로 안정적이었고, 여과지속시간은 6시간 이상 유지되었으며, 공기역세척만으로도 98% 정도의 손실수두 평균 회복율을 보였다. 하수를 적용한 현장평가에서는 여재의 조기폐색을 방지하기 위한 전처리공정으로 벨트 형 미세스크린(450mesh 이상)를 적용했을 때 2시간 내외의 여과지속시간을 확보할 수 있었고, 평균 83.9%의 SS 제거효율을 나타내었다. CSOs 및 SSOs에 여과공정 적용을 위해서는 효율적 측면보다 여과지속시간의 안정적 유지를 위한 수리적 측면을 보완하기 위해서 전처리공정과의 조합이 중요하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 건기와 비교하여 우기의 유입하수 수질은 다소 낮은 보였으며, 이는 분류식 관거 비율이 높은 배수구역의 특성 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 또한, 우기와 건기의 유입수질에 따른 제거효율 차이는 미미하였다.
