This paper investigates the feasibility of hydrocarbon refrigerant mixtures as a replacement for HCFC-22 in residential air-conditioning and heat pump systems. The COP and the seasonal performance factor (SPF) were calculated using a UA-model for single component refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures. Simulations were run for pure propane and the mixtures of propane/i-pentane, propane/n-butane,...

Recent advances in thermodiffusion (Soret effect) in binary and higher multicomponent liquid mixtures are reviewed. The mixtures studied include the hydrocarbon, associating, molten metal and semiconductor, polymer, and DNA mixtures. The emphasis is placed on the theoretical works, particularly models based on the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, although other approaches such as the statistical,...

A simple and reliable method for quick estimation of the dielectric constant of a binary solvent mixture is proposed. The validity of the proposed method has been tested for a broad range of binary solvent mixtures

density, viscosity and refractive index of pure, binary and ternary mixtures of diethanolamine (dea) and methyl diethanolamine (mdea) with water have been measured at different temperatures from 288.15 k to 323.15 k at atmospheric pressure. also, this study presents the effects of mixture composition and temperature upon these thermo- physical properties. to measure the density and refractive i...

Making use of the fact that perfluorohydrocarbon, and hydrocarbon solvents become miscible at high temperatures, highly pure inorganic nanoparticles capped with fluorous labels have been generated in a one-step synthesis. The procedure involves taking the reactants in a hydrocarbon+perfluorohydrocarbon mixture along with a fluorous reagent and carrying out the reaction at elevated temperatures....

This paper studies the application of principal component analysis, multiple polynomial regression, and artificial neural network ANN techniques to the quantitative analysis of binary mixture of dye solution. The binary mixtures of three textile dyes including blue, red and yellow colors were analyzed by PCA-Multiple polynomial Regression and PCA-Artificial Neural network PCA-ANN methods. The o...
