In order to study the refrigeration performances of the resorption refrigeration technology, the resorption working pair of BaCl2–MnCl2–NH3, which has the similar working requirements for the heat source and cooling source, and also could satisfy the similar refrigeration requirements with...

The present article reports on the feasibility of using encapsulated phase change materials (EPCMs) in the dehumidifying bed of a desiccant cooling system. The mathematical model used to simulate the coupled non-equilibrium heat and moisture transfer processes in the porous composite structure...

The entropy generation analysis of heat and mass transfer in a slit microchannel is performed in this study. The flow is assumed to be due to a combination of the electroosmotic body force and the pressure gradient. A fully developed flow with uniform flux at the surface is considered in the...

This paper is a brief review of the method for analyzing the space and time dependent exergy and irreversibility fields in processes. It presents the basic equations, the method for their use, major literature sources, and three examples from the authors' work: flow desiccation, combustion of...

An increased interest in absorption chillers has been observed [1] because these systems can utilize solar, geothermal and biomass energy sources, but also because they are quiet, vibration-free, require little maintenance and are ecological [2]. Instead of a compressor system, which uses...

Adsorption refrigeration and heat pump systems have been considered as important means for the efficient use of low-grade thermal energy of 60–150°C. Sorption systems are merely thermodynamic systems based on heat exchangers, and therefore a good design to optimize heat and mass transfer with...

Sorption and thermochemical heat storage attracted considerable attention recently because it offers various opportunities in the design of renewable and sustainable energy systems. Heat and mass transfer remains currently the main limitations whose overcoming would facilitate their introduction...

Nowadays, computer models have contributed to a better understanding and solution of long standing practical combustion problems in HCCI (homogenous charge compression ignition) engines. In this study, a new multi zone model is developed for HCCI engines simulation. Model contains four different...
