In this paper a new computer code, Mpower, recently developed between Universidad Politécnica de Valencia and Modine Manufacturing Company is presented. Mpower is based on a long experience on the detailed modeling of refrigeration components and is fully targeted to assist the design of components and systems, especially envisaged from the beginning of its development as a design tool for indu...

Magnetocaloric refrigeration is an alternative refrigeration technology with significant potential energy savings compared to conventional vapor compression refrigeration technology. Most of the reported active magnetic regenerator (AMR) systems that operate based on the magnetocaloric effect use heat transfer fluid to exchange heat, which results in complicated mechanical subsystems and compon...

A novel extension of traditional growth models for exposure assessment of food-borne microbial pathogens was developed to address the complex interactions of competing microbial populations in foods. Scenarios were designed for baseline refrigeration and mild abuse of servings of chicken broiler and ground beef Our approach employed high-quality data for microbiology of foods at production, ref...

The system design of window air conditioner does not evolve in one day. Due to the continous efforts are taken by the refrigeration and air conditionging professionals, successful and economic models of window air conditioners are currently used. This paper states about the development of window air conditioner with phase change material and water as refrigerants. Developed air conditioner was ...

Refrigeration effects can be obtained from elastomers classified as “ideal rubber” by operating over a cycle similar to that of the Carnot cycle. The interesting properties of ideal rubber have long been recognized, with most investigations of potential thermodynamic cycles devoted to power cycles. This paper focuses on the development of refrigeration cycles constructed from ideal rubber refri...

When poultry manure is collected but cannot be analyzed immediately, a method for storing the manure is needed to ensure accurate subsequent analyses. This study has 3 objectives: (1) to investigate effects of 4 poultry manure sample preservation methods (refrigeration, freezing, acidification, and freeze-drying) on the compositional characteristics of poultry manure; (2) to determine compositi...

the suitability of milk preserved by refrigeration and co2 addition for the manufacture of plain yoghurt using two commercial strains of lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and streptoccocus thermophilus and probiotic yoghurt by lactobacillus acidophilus was evaluated. yoghurts (plain and probiotic) manufactured after milk pasteurization, from fresh and refrigerated co2 treated samples (p...
