in this paper, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the rankin power cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle. this combined cycle produces both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously. this cycle is driven by the flue gas of gas turbines, industrial waste heats, solar energy and geothermal energy. an exergy analysis is performed to guide the th...

Refrigerants that are used in refrigeration systems, cause environmental difficulties such as depletion of ozone layer and greenhouse effect. Thus, we must find substitutes for such refrigerants, in this paper, the effect of refrigerant on the thermodynamics performance of refrigeration cycles are studied. To do this, a refrigerator that has designed for R12, is simulated. Results show that pur...

The current work investigates the exergy analysis of a new system to generate power, heat, and refrigeration. In the proposed system, the heat loss of a gas turbine (GT) is first recovered by a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSD), then by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate warm water and additional power, respectively. In the ORC, reheating is used to increase the output power, the req...

Changes in lipids of herring (Clupea harengus) muscle during different smoking methods and 9 days of refrigeration at 4°C were investigated. The proximate analysis of raw herring revealed that the total lipid, the total protein content and the crude ash were 10.20%, 69.43%, and 19.42%, respectively. The results also indicated that during all processing free fatty acids (FFAs) and peroxide value...

Conventional supermarket refrigeration systems are responsible for considerable CO2 emissions due to high energy consumption and large quantities of refrigerant leakage. In the effort to conserve energy and reduce environmental impacts, an efficient design tool for the analysis, evaluation and comparison of the performance of alternative system designs and controls is required. This paper provi...

Magnetic refrigeration at room temperature is of great interest due to a long-term goal of making refrigeration more energy-efficient, less noisy and free of any environmentally hostile materials. A refrigerator utilizing an active magnetic regenerator (AMR) is based on the magnetocaloric effect, which manifests itself as a temperature change in magnetic materials when subjected to a varying ma...

A performance analysis on a vapour compression refrigeration system with various refrigerants mixture of R152a, RE170, R600a, and R290 were done for various mixture ratios and their results were compared with R134a as possible alternative replacement. The results showed that all of the alternative refrigerants investigated in the analysis except R431A, [R 152a (29%), R290 (71%)] have a slightly...

The present work deals with thermodynamic analysis of cascade refrigeration system using ozone friendly refrigerants pair R507A and R23. R507A is azeotropic mixture composed of HFC refrigerants R125/R143a (50%/50% wt.). R23 is a single component HFC refrigerant used as replacement to CFC refrigerant R13 in low temperature applications. These refrigerants have zero ozone depletion potential and ...

Luminescence refrigeration in semiconductors is studied using a model that includes the rate equations for carriers and photons as well as the influence of spectral dependent photon recycling. Expressions are derived for cooling efficiency, cooling power density, and the minimum external quantum efficiency required for cooling. These results show that net cooling is accessible and that photon r...
