Experiments were performed to study the effects of introducing vapor into a dewar where a coaxial pulse tube refrigerator was used as a liquefier in the neck of the dewar. We were concerned about how the introduction of vapor might impact the refrigeration load as the vapor barrier in the neck of the dewar is disturbed. Three experiments were performed where the input power to the cooler was he...

The paper presents an analysis of relations describing entropy generation in a condenser of a steam unit. Connections between entropy generation, condenser ratio, and heat exchanger effectiveness, as well as relations implied by them are shown. Theoretical considerations allowed to determine limits of individual parameters which describe the condenser operation. Various relations for average te...

This paper presents experimental results from a prototype of a microchannel heat exchanger used in a residential air-conditioning system as an air-cooled condenser. The main objectives were to analyze effects of the microchannel condenser on system performance. The commercially available system that utilizes a condenser with a round tube and plate fins was experimentally evaluated first, then t...

This paper presents the detailed design and analysis of an asymmetric fin tube condenser. And the heat transfer performance of the asymmetric fin tube condenser is simulated with the fluent software. Based on the simulation results, an optimal model of the asymmetric-finned tube condenser is designed. The actual model is experimentally studied on air conditioners and contrasted with the symmetr...

We propose and demonstrate a compact, alignment-free dark-field microscopy technique, termed as organic light-emitting-diode-based plasmonic dark-field microscopy. Experimental results show that it is capable of forming dark-field images of the specimens utilizing a highly integrated chip-scale plasmonic condenser. This technique has high z resolution and high imaging contrast and is suitable f...

Condenser is one of the important auxiliary equipments in nuclear power plants. The thermal efficiency of the entire unit was depended on the condenser performance. Cleanliness factor and condenser corrected pressure are the two most important evaluation indexes. The definition and derivation of these two evaluation indexes were elaborated and clarified in this paper. And the condenser performa...

The heat transfer performance of vapor-condenser has been studied under different temperature of cold trap and different thickness of the frost layer in this paper. The relationship between dimensionless number and is obtained. The results show that the capturing efficiency of cold trap increases with the decrease of the surface temperature of vapor-condenser. The frost accumulated on the surfa...

Abstract The yearly energy requirements of room temperature (RT) and superconducting (SC) magnet options a new hadron therapy (HT) facility are compared. Special reference is made to the layouts considered for proposed SEEIIST facility. Benchmarking with RT CNAO HT centre in Pavia (Italy) was carried out. comparison centred on different synchrotron solutions, assuming same injector lines design...
