    Global warming is the most significant threat that civilization faced within the 21st century. Buildings, which account for 40% of global consumption of energy and greenhouse gas emissions, play a key role in global warming. It is estimated that their destructive impact will grow by 1.8 percent per year by 2050, indicating that future energy consumption and emissions will be more critical than they are today. Therefore, the use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCM) is one of the effective ways of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process. PCM has been widely used in latent heat thermal storage systems for heat pumps, solar engineering, and spacecraft thermal control applications. Thermal energy conservation by latent heat is an ideal way to increase the thermal inertia of building envelopes, which would minimize temperature fluctuations, contributing to increased occupants' thermal comfort. For this reason, high-density PCM can be used effectively. This paper reviews recent studies of the application and effectiveness of using PCM in the built environment.

    Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) single fibers and reinforced composites were comprehensively characterized through tensile tests to assess their performance as potential reinforcing materials in polymer composites. The performances of OPEFB single fibers and reinforced composites with untreated and treated fibers conditions were compared. The fibers were variously treated with 3% sodium hydroxide, 2% silane, 3% sodium hydroxide mixed with 2% silane, and 3% sodium hydroxide prior to 2% silane for 2 hours soaking time. The highest toughness of the single fibers test was then selected to proceed with composites fabrication. The OPEFB composites were fabricated in 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40 epoxy-fibre fractions. The result shows that the selected treated fiber composite exhibits better performance. The selected treated fiber composite increased the highest ultimate tensile strength by 145.3% for the 90:10 fraction. The highest Young’s Modulus was increased by about 166.7% for 70:30 fraction. Next, the highest toughness was increased by 389.5% for the 30:70 fraction. The treated fibers provided a better interlocking mechanism between the matrix and fibers in reinforced composites, thus improving their interfacial bonding.

    This study aimed to elucidate the influences of several drilling parameters on bone temperature during drilling, as excessive heat generation can cause thermal bone damage and affect post-surgery recovery. In vitro drilling tests were conducted on bovine femoral shaft cortical bone specimens. The parameters considered included tool rotational speed (s), feed rate (f), tool diameter (d), and drill tip angles of 118° and 135°. Drilling temperatures were studied across a range of 800–2000 rpm rotational speeds, 20–40 mm/min feed rates, and 2–4 mm drill diameters. A predictive statistical model was constructed using the response surface methodology (RSM). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) revealed that rotational speed significantly impacted temperature increase, contributing to 59.74% of observed temperature rises. Drill diameter accounted for 16.21% of temperature variations, while feed rate contributed to 10.04% of the temperature rises. The study provides valuable insights into the predominant factors affecting bone temperature during drilling. Understanding these parameters and their interplay is pivotal for optimizing drilling conditions and minimizing potential thermal damage to bones.

    This study investigates the enhancement of immersion cooling performance for a single 14.6 Ah lithium-ion polymer (LiPo) battery cell by using air, palm oil, and engineered fluid (3M Novec 7000) as dielectric fluids. The research aims to observe the temperature distribution and rate of heat transfer on the battery cell at a 3C discharge rate, while varying the fluid velocity flow (0 mm/s, 1 mm/s, and 50 mm/s) and fluid types. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using ANSYS Fluent software, with heat generation from the LiPo battery simulated using the Newman, Tiedmann, Gu, and Kim (NTGK) semi-empirical electrochemical model. Results revealed that palm oil demonstrated the optimum cooling effect, reducing peak temperature to safe operating temperature region by 62.4% within 1020 seconds. Fluid flow velocity strongly influenced temperature distribution and heat transfer rates, with 50 mm/s resulting in a more uniform temperature distribution compared to 1 mm/s and 0 mm/s. The rate of heat transfer was highest at 1 mm/s and intermediate at 50 mm/s. Considering the abundance of palm oil in Malaysia, utilizing it as the dielectric fluid with a 50 mm/s flow velocity yields the best cooling effect for the 14.6 Ah LiPo battery at a 3C discharge rate.

    The internal combustion engine (ICE) remains pivotal in motorcycle technology, primarily due to its efficiency, energy density, and established infrastructure, despite the rise of electric vehicles. This study examines the influence of intake manifold design parameters on the performance of a single-cylinder internal combustion engine (ICE), with a specific focus on brake power and brake torque at high engine speeds. A comprehensive parametric analysis was conducted using a 1D simulation model in Ricardo Wave, evaluating the effects of manifold length, diameter, and bending angle on engine performance metrics. The results demonstrate that the optimized intake manifold design yields a 7.75% improvement in brake power and a 6.5% enhancement in brake torque at 10,000 RPM compared to the baseline configuration. Mid-range values for manifold length and diameter were found to achieve optimal airflow dynamics, effectively minimizing pressure losses. Additionally, a bending angle of 70° exhibited superior stability in power delivery at elevated engine speeds. These findings underscore the critical role of intake manifold geometry optimization in achieving enhanced engine performance under high-speed operating conditions.

    This study investigates the vertical distribution of temperature and relative humidity within dental treatment rooms at a Government Type 3 Health Clinic in Gial Perlis, Malaysia, addressing a significant gap in the literature regarding environmental conditions in dental healthcare settings. Precise measurements were conducted at four specific heights 0.3 m, 1.0 m, 1.7 m, and 2.7 m utilizing calibrated digital thermometers with hygrometers to capture accurate environmental data. The collected data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to assess the significance of variations across these levels. Results revealed statistically significant differences in both temperature and relative humidity (p < 0.05). At the uppermost level (2.7 m), the highest mean temperature of 22.1°C and a mean relative humidity of 68.2% were recorded, while the lowest level (0.3 m) exhibited the lowest mean temperature of 20.9°C and the highest mean relative humidity of 73.8%. Temperatures at the patient level (1.0 m and 1.7 m) averaged between 21.0 °C and 21.6°C, which is slightly below the optimal comfort range of 22°C to 26°C. These vertical gradients indicate that the existing HVAC systems may not be effectively regulating indoor conditions, potentially impacting patient comfort, the performance of temperature-sensitive dental materials, and the effectiveness of infection control measures due to altered aerosol behaviour. The findings underscore the necessity of optimizing HVAC designs to achieve uniform temperature and humidity distributions within dental treatment rooms. This research provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of tailored environmental management strategies to enhance patient comfort, procedural outcomes, and safety in dental healthcare settings.

    An experiment was designed to investigate the temperature revolution of lithium-ion polymer (LiPo) cells using two different approaches, thermocouples and infrared thermography. The cells were charged under controlled conditions at rates of 2.0 A, 4.0 A, 6.0 A, 8.0 A, and 10.0 A. The analysis focused on the maximum surface temperature, temperature changes over time, and surface temperature distribution. The findings revealed that higher charging rates result in increased heat generation, causing greater temperature rises, steeper temperature gradients, and higher maximum temperatures. During the charging process, the study also observed endothermic behavior and uneven temperature distribution across the cells. However, upon completing the charging, the surface temperature became evenly distributed without any critical hotspots. Notably, maximum temperatures were observed in the lower regions of the cells for lower charging rates (2.0 A, 4.0 A, and 6.0 A) and in the upper regions for higher rates (8.0 A and 10.0 A). Additionally, infrared thermography provided a clearer and more precise method for measuring surface temperatures compared to thermocouples, as indicated by experimental uncertainty analysis. IR imaging also showed a faster temperature increase at higher charging rates, offering deeper insights into the thermal characteristics of LiPo cells.

    Water pollution is closely related to the Water Quality Index (WQI). One of the parameters in classifying WQI is dissolved oxygen (DO) that can be improved by introducing the surface and subsurface aerations. Herein, the Perlis River's water quality was investigated by evaluating the DO's improvement based on various aeration systems. The changes of DO (mg/L) and DO improvement (%) were evaluated during both low and high tide conditions. A total of 9 sets of data collection had been studied by comparing base DO (without running of aeration) and measured DO (with running of aeration) of river. The DO sensor was used to measure the changes of DO in the aeration measurement system. Results found that the DO improvement managed to achieve 74.89%, 10.18%, 35.58%, and 52.45% for water jet, air compressor, commercial venturi, and DIY venturi, respectively. Besides, different behaviour of DO's improvement was observed during low and high tide conditions.

    The exhaust manifold is a crucial component of the exhaust system in any SI engine, responsible for efficiently expelling combustion products. However, when the exhaust manifold's design is suboptimal, it leads to negative consequences for the engine's performance due to the presence of backpressure. Backpressure refers to the difference between maximum exhaust pressure and atmospheric pressure. An increase in backpressure decreases the overall performance and fuel efficiency of an SI engine. This study aimed to investigate the bending angle characteristics of the exhaust manifold and the brake torque of the 115cc SI engine using 1D engine analysis. The relationship between the exhaust manifold's bending angle characteristics and the brake torque was analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with a p-value of less than 0.05, while the validation with experimental data showed a maximum error of 6.62. In the previous research, it was noted that a lower bending angle leads to better performance. However, the current results indicate that out of the three bending angles considered, having one of them yields the most substantial enhancement in brake torque. The optimized bending angle configuration obtained from the analysis increased the mean brake torque by 0.011 Nm (0.14%). Consequently, this study enhances the average brake torque through the optimal bending angle characteristics of the exhaust manifold. The study's objective aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, as the improved performance achieved through an optimal exhaust manifold design configuration is expected to promote domestic technology development.
