Global energy agencies and commissions report a sharp increase in energy demand based on commercial, industrial, and residential activities. At this point, we need energy-efficient and high-performance systems to maintain a sustainable environment. More than 30% of the generated electricity has been consumed by HVAC-R units, and heat exchangers are the main components affecting the overall performance. This study combines experimental measurements, numerical investigations, and ANN-aided optimization studies to determine the optimal operating conditions of an industrial shell and tube heat exchanger system. The cold/hot stream temperature level is varied between 10 ℃ and 50 ℃ during the experiments and numerical investigations. Furthermore, the flow rates are altered in a range of 50–500 L/h to investigate the thermal and hydraulic performance under laminar and turbulent regime conditions. The experimental and numerical results indicate that U-tube bundles dominantly affect the total pumping power; therefore, the energy consumption experienced at the cold side is about ten times greater the one at the hot side. Once the required data sets are gathered via the experiments and numerical investigations, ANN-aided stochastic optimization algorithms detected the C10H50 scenario as the optimal operating case when the cold and hot stream flow rates are at 100 L/h and 500 L/h, respectively.

Homework is an indispensable basic link in classroom teaching, an important link in the consolidation of knowledge after class, and an important way for students to understand knowledge, digest knowledge, and improve their problem-solving ability. In the practice of mathematics teaching in primary schools, attention should be paid to the effectiveness of homework assignments in different links before, during and after class, and the content of homework should take into account the reality of students at different levels. This paper expounds the strategy of hierarchical design of mathematics homework from the aspects of the hierarchical design and arrangement of mathematics homework in the upper grades of primary school, aiming to effectively improve the quality of mathematics classroom teaching in the upper grades of primary school.

Nowadays, customer service in telecommunications companies is often characterized by long waiting times and impersonal responses, leading to customer dissatisfaction, increased complaints, and higher operational costs. This study aims to optimize the customer service process through the implementation of a Generative AI Voicebot, developed using the SCRUMBAN methodology, which comprises seven phases: Objectives, To-Do Tasks, Analysis, Development, Testing, Deployment, and Completion. An experimental design was used with an experimental group and a control group, selecting a representative sample of 30 customer service processes for each evaluated indicator. The results showed a 34.72% reduction in the average time to resolve issues, a 33.12% decrease in service cancellation rates, and a 97% increase in customer satisfaction. The implications of this research suggest that the use of Generative AI In Voicebots can transform support strategies in service companies. In conclusion, the implementation of the Generative AI Voicebot has proven effective in significantly reducing resolution time and markedly increasing customer satisfaction. Future research is recommended to further explore the SCRUMBAN methodology and extend the use of Generative AI Voicebots in various business contexts.

Mind map was a note-taking method proposed by Tony Buzan(1994). And later it is developed into eight modes of thinking maps by David Hyerle(2009), which has been widely used in English teaching. As a knowledge visualization learning tool, mind map could help students construct knowledge framework, sort out knowledge structure, expand thinking and enhance memory. This article will take the grade three class of Shijiao Qixing Primary School in Shijiao Country, Qingyuan City as a sample. The Shijiao Qixing Primary School is a village primary school which most of the students are left-behind children and there are about 30 teachers with an age of 40. Neither the teachers nor the students have experienced the mind mapping teaching method. The article will explore the application of mind mapping in a countryside primary school based on relevant theoretical knowledge and classroom practice.

In this study, we consider the extended Brinkman's-Darcy model for a triple diffusive convection system which consists of some parameters such as Taylor number (Ta), Solutal Rayleigh numbers (RC1 , RC2 ), and Prandtl number (Pr). To investigate the range of these parameters, a dynamical system of the Ginzburg-Landau equation is developed. The parametric analysis and comparative study of the model for the three Rayleigh numbers which leads to the clear fluid layer, sparsely packed porous layer, and densely packed porous layer is done with the help of bifurcation maps and the Lyapunov exponents. It is found that for a certain range of parameters, the system exhibits a chaotic behaviour.
