The condensation heat transfer characteristics of nonazeotropic mixtures R1234yf and R32 (mass fractions of 0.52:0.48 and 0.77:0.23, respectively) inside a horizontal smooth tube (inner diameter 4 mm) were experimentally studied at mass fluxes ranging from 100 to 300 kg/m s. A prediction model for the forced convective condensation heat transfer characteristics of nonazeotropic refrigerant mixt...

This paper presents numerical simulations of two-phase flow with highdensity ratio, taking into account mass transport of a soluble component and its interfacial mass transfer. The mathematical model and the numerical method allow for different solubility of the species in the respective fluid phases, while volume changes due to mass transfer are neglected. The discontinuous changes in species ...

Calcium alginate membrane has great potential for membrane separation technology. The polymer frameworks of the membrane were successfully regulated by the mass fraction of homopolymeric blocks of -L-guluronic acid (FGG) in the entire molecular chain of alginate and the additive CaCl2 as a cross-linker. The mechanical strength can be controlled by regulated the FGG and CaCl2 concentration. Sele...

this paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. although many mathematical models on the ro...

This paper reports the results of experimentally removing ammonia from synthetically prepared ammonia solution using a micro scale mixing loop air stripper. Effects of various operational parameters (such as: pH, air flow rate, wastewater flow rate and initial ammonia concentration) were evaluated. By increasing the pH from 10 to 12.25 the amount of KLa increased from 0.26 to 0.73 hr-1. A consi...

Organic groups are grafted to 250-nm-diameter MCM41 nanoparticles with a spherical morphology to enhance the CO−water volumetric mass-transfer coefficient (kLa) for synthesis gas fermentation. The results indicate that (i) 250-nm MCM41 nanoparticles show a higherkLa value than large silica particles (1.4 and 7 μm), (ii) surface hydroxyl groups on MCM41 nanoparticles play an important role in ma...

The effects and influences of various parameters upon the efficiency and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients are important subjects to be studied in most liquid-liquid extraction processes. One of these important parameters is surface active agent (surfactant). In this paper, in order to study the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration on the efficiency and the a...
