Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG and Hydrogen (H₂)

Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG  and Hydrogen (H₂)

Abstract

A high-pressure gas storage tank made from composite materials, including carbon fiber, resin, and plastic, is designed for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) or hydrogen. This type of tank is classified as a Type IV high-pressure vessel. In this research, it is designed to operate at a pressure of 250 bar for the transportation of compressed natural gas.

Objective

การบรรจุก๊าซที่ความดันสูงต้องใช้บรรจุภัณฑ์​ที่มีความแข็งแรง​ การใช้ถังที่ผลิตจากโลหะถูกนำมาใช้ในช่วงแรกๆ​ แต่ปัญหาที่ตามมาคือน้ำหนักมากทำให้สิ้นเปลืองเชื้อเพลิงในกรณีที่นำไปติดตั้งบนยานพาหนะ​ จึงเกิดการพัฒนาถังความดันที่พัฒนาจากวัสดุประกอบขึ้นซึ่งจะช่วยลดน้ำหนักของบรรจุภัณฑ์​และการกัดกร่อนเกิดขึ้นน้อย

Effect of Sorbitol Concentration as Plasticizer in Capsicum Oleoresin-Loadded Oral Disintegrating Film

Oral disintegrating films (ODFs) can dissolve in the mouth instantly upon contact with saliva, without the need for water. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sorbitol concentration on the properties of oral disintegrating films containing Capsicum Oleoresin extract, which has properties that stimulate saliva secretion, making swallowing easier. The film was developed to address difficulties in swallowing, especially for individuals with dysphagia. The films were prepared using different concentrations of sorbitol and tested for rheological properties, mechanical properties, moisture content, free water content, thickness, disintegration time, contact angle, color, and antioxidant activity. The results indicated that sorbitol played a key role in increasing the flexibility and reducing the brittleness of the films. Additionally, an optimal concentration of sorbitol helped maintain the stability of the Capsicum extract and enhanced its efficacy in stimulating saliva secretion, thereby making swallowing more convenient and reducing oral friction. The films developed in this study demonstrate potential as an alternative for individuals with swallowing difficulties.

Medical Delivery Drone

One of the most important aspects of responding to a medical case is the response time. In general, most fatalities are due to the patient not being able to reach the hands of the doctor in time. This also includes the arrival of medical equipment to the scene. The human brain will start to degrade in function after 3 minutes of oxygen starvation which conventional road transportation method first responders presently use is usually unable to reach the site in this golden 3 minutes, resulting in fatalities during transport or before the arrival of first responders at the scene. Therefore, medical equipment transport by fully autonomous aircraft is explored. This is done through drone deliveries which is much quicker than road methods as the equipment could be flown straight to the site as it is not affected by traffic, road conditions, and navigation. In this project, we will explore an aerial delivery system for medical equipment such as Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs), First aid equipment, and other small requested medical devices. This will be done through a DJI drone platform and their SDK application. The main goal for this project is to decrease the response time by using an autonomous aerial drone to deliver medical equipment.
