Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ejectors have been widely used in multi-effect distillation, thermal vapor compression (MED-TVC) desalination systems due to their simple structures and low energy consumption. However, traditional fixed geometry ejectors fail to operate under unstable working conditions driven by solar energy. Herein, a dynamic auto-adjusting ejector, equipped with a needle at the nozzle throat, is proposed to improve the ejector's performance under changeable operating conditions. A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is built to analyze the performance and flow field of the ejector. It is found that the achievable entrainment ratio gradually increases as the needle approaches the nozzle, and the entrainment ratio of the ejector is relatively stable, varying slightly between 1.1-1.2 when the primary pressure changes from 2.5 to 4 bar. Besides, the performance comparison between the proposed ejector and the traditional ejector is studied under the same primary pressure range. The entrainment ratio of the designed ejector was 1.6 times higher than that of the conventional ejector at a primary pressure of 2.5 bar. Furthermore, the average entrainment ratio of the designed ejector is 1.14, as compared to 0.84 for the traditional ejector. Overall, the proposed auto-adjusting ejector could be potentially used in MED-TVC desalination systems under variable conditions.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
