[Abstract]

This research is to simulate hydrogen leakage at bunker station with various wind directions and velocities using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to understand hydrogen dispersion behaviour and provide general guidelines to establish risk prevent measures and mitigations at early design phase. This case study examines hydrogen plume behavior in various wind conditions, focusing on horizontal and vertical dispersion as well as mean travel distance over time. Regardless of wind direction, hydrogen disperses in alignment with the wind. As time progresses post-leakage, the plume elongates in the wind's longitudinal direction and contracts vertically, maintaining a consistent shape. Wind direction and the direction of hydrogen release notably influence dispersion patterns. When the wind aligns vertically with the release point, hydrogen plume distance increases with higher wind speeds. Conversely, when wind opposes the release direction, plume length tends to decrease at high speeds. Intriguingly, the maximum distance of 27.85 m occurs when wind and leak directions are orthogonal at 180°. For wind speeds up to 5 m/s, all wind directions show a similar increase in plume distance. However, at 7 m/s, scenarios with horizontal, perpendicular wind directions exhibit a distinct change. Analyzing hydrogen dispersion aids in establishing safety criteria and risk mitigation distances for hydrogen leakages in bunker stations during the early design phase.

Smart pills, also known as digital pills or ingestible sensors, are advanced pharmaceutical devices that combine medication with digital technology to monitor health conditions, track drug adherence, and enhance diagnostic accuracy. These pills often contain tiny, ingestible sensors that are activated by stomach fluids upon ingestion. Once activated, the sensor sends data—such as the time the pill was taken, the patient’s physiological responses, and medication absorption details—to a wearable patch or mobile device, which then relays the information to healthcare providers. This technology is particularly beneficial in managing chronic conditions like schizophrenia, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes by ensuring patients take their medications as prescribed.

The development of smart pills is revolutionizing personalized medicine and remote patient monitoring. They help improve…

Aluminum-extruded products are manufactured by forcing aluminum alloy material through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile, resulting in components with consistent shapes and excellent mechanical properties. This process enhances the metal's strength-to-weight ratio, making aluminum-extruded products ideal for applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics, and consumer goods. Common extruded forms include rods, bars, tubes, angles, and custom profiles, which are valued for their lightweight, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and recyclability.

The versatility of aluminum extrusion allows for complex designs with tight tolerances and minimal machining, reducing manufacturing costs and material waste. Technological advancements in die design and extrusion techniques have further broadened their applications, particularly in structural components, heat sinks, window frames, and transport systems. Moreover, anodizing…
