introduction pulmonary vein (pv) isolation is considered as a key to atrial fibrillation (af) treatment. cryoballoon ablation is an effective therapy for pv isolation for af with minimal side effects and was approved by the us food and drug administration (fda) several years ago. successful isolation of pvs during cryoablation depends on the balloon temperature and helps in early identification...

joule-thomson cooling systems are used in refrigeration processes such as cryogenic gas liquefaction. although extensive studies have been carried out by researchers, most of them include cryogenic heat exchangers and their associated fields. in the current study, an attempt was made to indicate the effect of using inappropriate operational conditions in a cryogenic joule-thomson cooling system...

Ammonia/water absorption chillers are driven by low-grade heat and cover wide refrigeration temperatures. This paper analyses single-stage ammonia/water chillers. A numerical model was developed based on the exchanger performance. The captures variational performances describes actual cycle with varying boundary conditions. detrimental effects of refrigerant impurity were analysed quantitativel...

Iran’s vast common natural gas resources and the necessity to extract and export it as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to distances more than 3000Km opens a lucrative field for researchers to optimize LNG cycles. In this article heat integration in cryogenic cycles by determining interacycle partition temperature and optimizing refrigeration features like Subcooler, Presaturator, aftercooler, reboi...

Hydrogen is an unusual substance in that its molecule exists in two forms, known as ortho and para, with markedly different properties. Energy level of the ortho molecule is higher than para, therefore, the latter is employed for industrial purposes. Consequently, for a high  conversion of  ortho to para hydrogen a catalyst reactor must be employed.  Therefore, one of  the main obj...
