 High dams play a crucial role in water storage, hydropower generation, and flood control. However, during flood discharge operations , rapid water flow interacts with barriers and riverbeds, creating intense noise emissions . These sounds propagate through both air and water , affecting environment, ecosystem, and human comfort . Understanding the acoustic field ensures safe, eco-friendly water management . 1️⃣ Introduction to Dam Noise Phenomenon 🏞️🎧 High dams play a crucial role in water storage, hydropower generation, and flood control. However, during flood discharge operations , rapid water flow interacts with barriers and riverbeds, creating intense noise emissions . These sounds propagate through both air and water , affecting environment, ecosystem, and human comfort . Understanding the acoustic field ensures safe, eco-friendly water management . 2️⃣ Acoustic Field Modeling 🎯📡 Developing an accurate Acoustic Field Model (AFM) is essential to predict noise propag...

  Innovative waste‐heat recovery using transcritical CO₂ vapor compression and thermoelectric generators boosts cooling efficiency 🌡⚙️. Sustainable energy conversion transforms lost heat into useful power ⚡🌍. Smart design, low global warming impact, and future‐ready green technology for eco-friendly refrigeration systems 🚀♻️ In modern refrigeration and air-conditioning technologies, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) stands out as a natural, eco-friendly refrigerant . The Transcritical CO₂ Vapor Compression Cycle operates above CO₂’s critical point , allowing high pressure and temperature levels. However, this also produces considerable waste heat 🌡️. Instead of releasing this heat to the atmosphere, Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) can cleverly convert waste heat into usable electrical energy , improving system efficiency and sustainability.⚡🌍 🔹 Concept of Transcritical CO₂ Cycle 📌 Key Features Operates in two regions : subcritical (evaporation) & transcritical (gas cooler...
