EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OF HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATOR USING PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL
Tập 21 Số 04 - Trang 1350029 - 2013
An experimental investigation has been carried out to know about the performance
improvement of a household refrigerator using phase change material (PCM). PCMs
are used as latent heat thermal storage system to enhance the heat transfer of
the evaporator. PCM is located behind the five sides of the evaporator cabinet
in which the evaporator coil is immersed. Water (melting point 0°C) and Eutectic
...
Review on Boil-Off Gas (BOG) Re-Liquefaction System of Liquefied CO2 Transport Ship for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)
Tập 24 Số 03 - Trang 1650017 - 2016
This paper presents the review on the boil-off gas re-liquefaction system of
liquefied CO2 transport ship for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). It is
assumed that liquefied CO2 is transported between South Korea and Middle East
for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced gas recovery (EGR), which is
similar to the oil and LNG transportation route. The concept of open
re-liquefaction cycle w...
Computational fluid dynamic simulation of packed bed drying process: impact of particle properties, drying conditions, and lateral edge heating modes on drying kinetics
Tập 32 Số 1
AbstractIn this work, a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model
is developed to describe the drying process of a packed bed made of spherical
particles. The volumetrical evaporation rate inside the bed is computed from the
pressure difference between the particle surface and the airflow. By using the
thermal equilibrium assumption, the heat conservation equation is derived. The
CFD...
A parametric study and performance investigation of thermoelectric refrigeration system using computational fluid dynamics
AbstractGlobal commercial market forecasted around 45 billion US dollars for
refrigeration equipment in 2021. Currently used refrigerants have high global
warming potential (GWP); hence, environment-friendly refrigeration system using
the Peltier effect is being considered for this research. The thermodynamic
refrigeration system has a low coefficient of performance (COP), when compared
to chlorof...
Design methodology of standing-wave thermoacoustic refrigerator: theoretical analysis
Tập 31 - Trang 1-13 - 2023
Thermoacoustic refrigeration systems are one of the best alternative solutions
for conventional refrigeration systems that are harmful to the environment and
humans due to global warming and ozone layer depletion issues. Thermoacoustic
technology can be considered a renewable and clean technology with a promising
future for its many advantages. A thermoacoustic refrigerator converts acoustic
energ...
Performance enhancement and environmental analysis of vapor compression refrigeration system with dedicated mechanical subcooling
Tập 31 Số 1
AbstractThe primary focus of this study is on the energy, exergy, and
environmental (3E) analysis of a dedicated mechanical subcooled vapor
compression refrigeration (DMS-VCR) system for applications involving
commercially available water chillers that employ R134a (in both subcooler and
main cycle). For a cooling capacity of 100-kW water chillers, the mathematical
model of the DMS-VCR system is b...
Virtual design on the heat pump refrigeration cycle: challenges and approaches
Tập 32 Số 1
AbstractVirtual product design (VPD) of the refrigeration cycle has long been a
major subject of many engineers and manufacturers. Issues should be the question
of how simulation gets close to the real world in virtual ways. It is especially
true when we consider variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pumps, having various
types of indoor unit combinations, long and complicated piping configurations...
Thermodynamic analysis on a magnetic refrigeration system
Tập 31 - Trang 1-10 - 2023
Magnetic refrigeration utilizes the magnetocaloric effect of a magnetic
material, whose temperature changes according to the change of magnetic field
strength. It is regarded as an eco-friendly refrigeration technology in that it
uses magnetic materials as refrigerants instead of CFC, HCFC, and HFC
refrigerants used in vapor compression refrigeration. It is also regarded as an
energy-efficient ref...
Numerical investigation on flammability of R32 leakage in heat pump outdoor unit with CFD simulation
Tập 31 - Trang 1-20 - 2023
R32 is receiving significant attention as an alternative refrigerant owing to
its higher operating efficiency and lower environmental impact; however, it is
classified as flammable refrigerants. There have been some studies on R32
leakages about indoor unit rooms but extremely limited studies about outdoor
unit rooms. The outdoor unit room is more cramped than the indoor one, and
leakage easily oc...
Two-phase heat transfer microchannel system identification with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach
Tập 31 - Trang 1-12 - 2023
The complex behavior of two-phase flow particularly in microchannels can be
unpredictable. Experimental measurements are near impossible because of the
unavailable compatible assessment equipment. Meanwhile, repeated experiments for
reliability of outcomes are costly and involved much time and effort.
