Nanomaterials have been the focus of intense study and growth in the modern era across the globe because of their outstanding qualities, which are brought about by their nanoscale size; for instance, increased adsorption and catalysis capabilities plus significant reactivity. Multiple investigations have verified the fact that nanoparticles may successfully remove a variety of pollutants from water, and, as a result, they have been utilized in the treatment of both water and wastewater. Therefore, the current research intent is to examine the nonlinear heat source/sink influence on the 3D flow of water-based silver nanoparticles incorporated in an Eyring–Powell fluid across a deformable sheet with concentration pollutants. Silver particles have been used intensively to filter water, due to their potent antibacterial properties. The leading equations involving partial differential equations are renewed into the form of ordinary ordinary differential equations through utilizing the appropriate similarity technique. Then, these converted equations are solved by utilizing an efficient solver bvp4c. Visual displays and extensive exploration of the different impacts of the non-dimensional parameters on the concentration, temperature, and velocity profiles are provided. Also, the important engineering variables including skin friction, the rate of heat, and mass transfer are examined. The findings suggest that the mass transfer rate declines due to pollutant parameters. Also, the results suggest that the friction factor is uplifted by about 15% and that the heat transfer rate, as well as the mass transfer rate, declines by about 21%, due to the presence of the nanoparticle volume fraction. We believe that these results may improve the flow rate of nanofluid systems, improve heat transfer, and reduce pollutant dispersal.

This paper proposes an accurate harmonic identification strategy for microgrids and distributed power systems. The harmonic identification strategy is one of the complex tasks in microgrids due to the need of high computational burden in terms of memory and computational time. The complexity of the considered problem is resulted from solving the transcendental nonlinear equations that characterize harmonics especially in real time is considered as a highly challenged problem. The proposed identification strategy aims at detecting individual and total harmonic distortion levels that is generated from several harmonic sources. In the current paper, the Machine Learning Regression Analysis (MLRA) including location-specific data and the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are proposed to identify the harmonic distortion. To enhance the identification and prediction performance, the standard IEEE 34-bus test feeder with verified harmonic sources power system is emulated for various scenarios using Electric Transient Analysis Program (ETAP). An extracting procedure for individual and total harmonic components are employed. The higher reduction level of error with approximately maximum median of 3.7127e- 15 % assures the accurate prediction of harmonic components. In addition, this work investigates the impact of several practical cases when the voltages of the renewable clean energy source arrays vary (e.g., solar cell, wind turbine, and EV), and a double-stage topology is needed to have the same amount of voltage at the input of the inverter before inversion.

Supply chains (SCs) serve many sectors that are, in turn, affected by e-commerce which rely on the make-to-order (MTO) system to avoid a risk in following the make-to-stoke (MTS) policy due to poor forecasting demand, which will be difficult if the products have short shelf life (e.g., refrigeration foodstuffs). The weak forecasting negatively impacts SC sectors such as production, inventory tracking, circular economy, market demands, transportation and distribution, and procurement. The forecasting obstacles are in e-commerce data types that are massive, imbalanced, and chaotic. Using machine learning (ML) algorithms to solve the problem works well because they quickly classify things, which makes accurate forecasting possible. However, it was found that the accuracy of ML algorithms varies depending on the SC data sectors. Therefore, the presented conceptual framework discusses the relations among ML algorithms, the most related sectors, and the effective scope of tackling their data, which enables the companies to guarantee continuity and competitiveness by reducing shortages and return costs. The data supplied show the e-commerce sales that were made at 47 different online stores in Egypt and the KSA during 413 days. The article proposes a novel mechanism that hybridizes the CatBoost algorithm with Dingo Optimization (Cat-DO), to obtain precise forecasting. The Cat-DO has been compared with other six ML algorithms to check its superiority over autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), long short-term memory (LSTM), deep neural network (DNN), categorical data boost (CatBoost), support vector machine (SVM), and LSTM-CatBoost by 0.52, 0.73, 1.43, 8.27, 15.94, and 13.12%, respectively. Transportation costs were reduced by 6.67%.

As industries rely more and more on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) systems for different uses in power, production, and management of the environment, it becomes essential to optimize these operations. The study seeks to improve the effectiveness and productivity of cooling structures, chemical reaction reactors, and contaminant control methods by investigating these intricate interconnections. Because of this, the work scrutinizes the endothermic/exothermic (EN/EX) chemical processes, convective boundary conditions, and pollutant concentration impacts on MHD nanofluid circulation around a rotating sphere. The governing equations based on the above assumptions are reduced into a system of ordinary differential equations and solved numerically with Runge–Kutta Fehlberg’s fourth- and fifth- order schemes. The obtained numerical outcomes from the numerical scheme are presented with the aid of graphs, and the results show that the rate of mass transfer decreases with an increase in the external pollutant local source and solid volume percentage. For changes in the values of the activation energy parameter and solid fraction, the rate of thermal dispersion drops for the EN case and upsurges for the EX case. The concentration profile shows increment with the addition of the external pollutant source variation parameter and local pollutant external source parameter. The outcomes of the present work can be helpful in cooling equipment, developing advanced methods for controlling pollution, environmental management, MHD generators, and various industrial contexts.

The physiological systems and biological applications that have arisen during the past 15 years depend heavily on the microscale and nanoscale fluxes. Microchannels have been utilized to develop new diagnostic assays, examine cell adhesion and molecular transport, and replicate the fluid flow microenvironment of the circulatory system. The various uses of MHD boundary flow in engineering and technology are extensive, ranging from MHD power generators and the polymer industry to MHD flow meters and pumps and the spinning of filaments. In this investigation, the (Magnetohydrodynamic) MHD flow of Prandtl nanofluid is investigated along with mixed convection, energy activation, microorganism, and chemical reaction. The flow model is considered through partial differential equations in dimensionless form which is then integrated numerically via considering the Bvp4c technique. The outcome is numerous emerging physical parameters over velocity profile, temperature, mass concentration, and microorganism with the separate pertinent quantities such as the Prandtl fluid parameter, elastic fluid parameter, magnetic field, mixed convection parameter, activation energy, chemical reaction, Brownian motion, thermophoretic force, Prandtl number, and Schmidt number. The friction factor, rate of heat transfer and Sherwood number, and density of microbes are revealed numerically and graphically. The outcomes indicate that the Prandtl fluid parameter and elastic fluid parameter tend to enhance the velocity profile. It is also noted that the Prandtl fluid parameter depreciates the thermal rate with the addition of the concentration profile while the opposite trend is recorded for activation energy. Obtained numerical outcomes are correspondingly compared with the current statistics in limiting cases and a close match is obtained.
