The present paper aims to study the effect of cooling air inlet methods on gas turbine compressors increasing their efficiency. After modeling cycles with absorption and compression systems in EES software, these cycles' performance is investigated for all equipment cycle from thermodynamic, exergy, exergoeconomic aspects. In system, conventional solution lithium bromide-water used as a two-com...

A thermodynamic analysis of the irreversibility on solar absorption refrigerators is presented. Under the hierarchical decomposition and the hypothesis of an endoreversible model, many functional and practical domains are defined. The effect of external heat source temperature on the entropy rate and on the inverse specific cooling load (ISCL) multiplied by the total area of the refrigerator A/...

This study has investigated the feasibility of three different solar-assisted air conditioning systems for typical medium-sized office buildings in all eight Australian capital cities using the whole building energy simulation software EnergyPlus. The studied solar cooling systems include: solar desiccant-evaporative cooling (SDEC) system, hybrid solar desiccant-compression cooling (SDCC) syste...

Injection molding has been the most popular method for making plastic products due to high efficiency and manufacturability. The injection molding process includes three significant stages: filling and packing stage, cooling stage, and ejection stage. Among these stages, cooling stage is very important one because it mainly affects the productivity and molding quality. Normally, 70%~80% of the ...

Title of Dissertation: INVESTIGATION OF VAPOR INJECTION HEAT PUMP SYSTEM WITH A FLASH TANK UTILIZING R410A AND LOW-GWP REFRIGERANT R32 Xing Xu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Reinhard Radermacher Department of Mechanical Engineering Vapor injection technique has proven to be effective in improving heat pump system performance, especially for cooling application a...

Systematic study of Yb doping concentration in the Yb:YLF cryocoolers by means of optical and mass spectroscopies has identified iron ions as the main source of the background absorption. Parasitic absorption was observed to decrease with Yb doping, resulting in optical cooling of a 10% Yb:YLF sample to 114K ± 1K, with room temperature cooling power of 750 mW and calculated minimum achievable t...

Cool gas should be present in galaxy clusters due to stripping of galactic gas, infall onto the cluster, and from cooling flows. We searched for this gas through resonance absorption line observations from lowionization metal line gas toward six background quasars. Both cooling flow and non-cooling flow clusters were observed, with lines of sight from the inner to outer parts of the cluster (0....
