Aiming at the problem of the low-velocity impact monitoring and localization of composite structures in the aerospace field, a real-time monitoring system based on fiber Bragg grating sensor network is designed, and a joint impact localization algorithm based on the correlation distance and the...

This paper describes the development of a combined ejector-vapor compression cycle (EVCC) that uses working fluid R134a and air-cooled condensers for both sub-cycles. A large amount of experiments have been conducted to test the influence of the evaporating, generating and condensing...

In this paper, a CFD model calibrated by the experimental results from initial designed ejector is used to evaluate the influence of 6 key geometry parameters on the performance (entrainment ratio) of an air-cooled ejector cooling system and, consequently, to find the best design parameters. A...

In this paper, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique is used to investigate the adaption of adjustable ejector for variable cooling loads and the characteristics of ejector pressure recovery in a multi-evaporator refrigeration system (EMERS) using R134a as the refrigerant. The performance...

This paper proposes a hybrid dynamic model of active chilled beam (ACB) terminal unit. The model encapsulates mechanical and thermal aspects of the confined air jet and the cooling coil contained in the terminal unit and could be divided into two sub-models respectively. The models for the...

In this paper, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique is used to investigate the influences of varying cooling loads on the ejector pressure recovery performance in an ejector-based multi-evaporator refrigeration system (EMERS) using R134a as the refrigerant. The performance of...

This study presents a model-based optimization strategy for an actual chiller driven dehumidifier of liquid desiccant dehumidification system operating with lithium chloride solution. By analyzing the characteristics of the components, energy predictive models for the components in the...
