Thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling mechanisms and sensitivity analysis of abandoned mine thermal energy storage systems by Liyuan LIU, Yaohui LI, Tao WANG, Tongbin ZHAO, Qiang KOU, Zerui MI, Le ZHANG

“…A three-dimensional thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled numerical model is developed to calculate the coupled effects over a decade of system operation and analyze heat transfer processes along with stress variation patterns in the roadway’s surrounding rock. Results indicate that the MTES system effectively utilizes geothermal environments for high-efficiency storage of waste heat, achieving a residual temperature of 35.5 ℃ (44.4% retention rate) during the first year following the injection of 80 ℃ water, with winter extraction temperatures progressively increasing annually. …”

Quality of Wild Passion Fruit at Different Ripening Stages Under Irrigated and Rainfed Cultivation Systems by Giuliana Naiara Barros Sales, Marília Hortência Batista Silva Rodrigues, Toshik Iarley da Silva, Rodolfo Rodrigo de Almeida Lacerda, Brencarla Lima Medeiros, Larissa Felix Macedo, Thiago Jardelino Dias, Walter Esfrain Pereira, Fabio Gelape Faleiro, Ivislanne de Sousa Queiroga Lacerda, Franciscleudo Bezerra da Costa

“…Additionally, the rainfed cultivation reduced the fruit color index by 14.82% and altered the respiratory pattern, causing a linear decrease of 73.37% in the respiration rate during ripening, in contrast to the behavior observed in the irrigated system, which reached an estimated minimum rate of 33.74 mg CO₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ at 110 days after anthesis.…”
