The performance of various working fluids for automotive air conditioning was calculated using a computer simulation. The model solves for the steady-state performance of a system that consists of a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, either with or without a liquid line/suction l i e interchanger. Condenser and evaporator performance is calculated based of user-defined valu...

The utilization of geothermal energy is favorable for the improvement efficiency. A hybrid system consisting a seasonal heating and cooling cycle, an absorption refrigeration cycle liquid dehumidification proposed to meet dehumidification, space demands. Geothermal utilized effectively in cascade approach. Six performance indicators, including humidity efficiency, enthalpy moisture removal rate...

Abstract Humidification–dehumidification desalination (HDH) is one of the suitable methods for saline and brackish water in a small scale. In this research, an HDH method with direct contact dehumidifier has been analyzed theoretically experimentally. The setup consists two similar packing towers humidification dehumidification, 10 inches diameter, which are filled up to 1 m Rushing packing. ne...

This paper applies irreversibility analysis to characterize humidification-dehumidification (HD) desalination cycles and to identify how to further improve cycles and components. It is shown that minimizing specific entropy generation of the cycle maximizes the gained output ratio (GOR). It is also shown that each cycle has one limiting component that cannot be substantially improved and a seco...
