Heat pump technology has been rapidly developed recently as a clean and efficient heating method. Continuous capacity modulation of heat pumps is necessary for enhancing room thermal comfort and reducing start-stop losses. A novel capacity modulation method for the scroll compressor heat pump system based on refrigerant injection and refrigerant release is proposed. The experiments indicate the...

A new method for measuring the heating rate (defined as the time rate of change of temperature) and estimating heat flux from the heating rate is proposed. The example problem involves analytic heat conduction in a one-dimensional slab, where the measurement location of temperature or heating rate coincides with the location of the estimated heat flux. The new method involves the solution to a ...

The objective of this study was to define the effects of various cooking and re-heating methods (pan roasting, steaming, oven grilling and micro-waving) on the cholesterol and formation of cholesterol oxidation products in beef loin during storage at 4°C. Raw samples showed lower total cholesterol content than cooked products sampled during storage for 6 d. The following cholesterol oxidation p...

The goal of this research is the derivation of method for evaluation of efficiency improvement potential for district heating systems with focus on variable speed centrifugal pump. The effectiveness of the usage of the proportional pressure control is compared with the constant pressure control. This is why, energy calculation analyses have been realized for variable speed centrifugal pumps, an...

A series of novel bis(substituted pyrazol-4-ylcarbonyl)-substituted thioureas have been synthesized by the reactions of substituted pyrazol-4-ylcarbonyl isothiocyanates with different diamines under ultrasound irradiation and classical heating method at 20-25 degrees C. In general, substantial improvement in rates and modest yields increases were observed when reactions were carried out under s...

A method is developed for predicting the radiant heat ux distribution produced by tungsten lament , tubular fused-quartz envelope heating systems with re BLOCKINectors. The method is an application of Monte Carlo simulation, which takes the form of a random walk or ray tracing scheme. The method is applied to four systems of increasing complexity, including a single lamp without a re BLOCKINect...
