“…Modern computing resources, including hardware computers and software programs, play an important role in solving complex engineering or technology problems that can take much longer times and efforts if handled without the appropriate tools. Computational modeling enables rapid exploration of different designs, variables optimization, and performance testing in a safe virtual environment [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

One of the main sources of electricity generation is power plants that use water (steam) to rotate turbines, which drive large electric generators. The steam can be generated from renewable or non-renewable energy sources, such as geothermal energy and nuclear fuels. Having an analysis tool for modeling the performance of such steam power plants can greatly help in reaching optimum designs, leading to less fuel consumption, reduced pollution, and cheaper electricity. It is further advantageous if such modeling tool is free to access, does not require many inputs from the user, and gives results in a very short time. These remarks establish a motivation for the current study. This article documents a computer code written in the Python programming language for numerically analysing the main processes in a steam power cycle with superheating. The code utilizes built-in thermodynamic properties for water in the open-source software package “Cantera”. A validation case with a benchmarking example in the literature using an independent source of water properties suggests that the developed code is correct. The code can be viewed as an extension to the Python examples for thermodynamic and power generation applications. Cantera can handle both subcritical and supercritical types of superheating. In the subcritical superheating, the steam absolute pressure does not exceed 220.9 bar. In the supercritical superheating, water becomes in a special condition called supercritical fluid, with absolute pressures above 220.9 bar. Keywords—Cantera, Python, Code, Program, Superheating

“…[ 11 ] The mechanism of pollutant removal by adsorptive membranes is mainly composed of two steps [ 12 ] as following: Pollutant removal depends on molecular size, where the adsorptive membranes are commonly fabricated with a pore size in the range of micro to ultrafiltration, the pore size is 0.02–0.05 microns for ultrafiltration and 0.1–10 microns for microfiltration. [ 13 ] This pore size range allows high water permeability, low‐pressure requirement, and thus low operating cost. [ 14 ] Moreover, their fabrication is much simpler than the fabrication of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes.…”

Dye‐containing waste should be carefully treated using environmentally friendly technology to prevent environmental harm and preserve water resources. Adsorptive membranes are a promising new approach for decreasing, recovering, and reusing waste while also removing contaminants like dyes. In this work, two different techniques are employed to create membranes using sugarcane bagasse pulp and carbon from charcoal. In the first technique, the surface of sugarcane bagasse is coated with charcoal paste as shown in Figure 1, while in the second, the carbon is combined with sugarcane bagasse pulp particles before being formed into sheets. It is discovered that the manufactured membranes has micron‐sized pores. It is discovered that the mixed‐fabricated membrane has a 99.4% better efficiency than the coated one. The membranes' surfaces are characterized using FTIR and SEM analysis.
