Evaporation Rate Model for a Natural Convection Glazed Collector/Regenerator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present work, a numerical method has been applied to model the water evaporation rate of a glazed collector/regenerator component of an open-cycle absorption refrigeration system. This ...
Effects of a Nonabsorbable Gas on Interfacial Heat and Mass Transfer for the Entrance Region of a Falling Film Absorber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for the effect of air (nonabsorbable gas) on the heat and mass transfer rates during the absorption of water vapor (absorbate) by a falling laminar film ...
Performance Evaluations of LiCl and LiBr for Absorber Design Applications in the Open-Cycle Absorption Refrigeration System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Both LiCl and LiBr solutions were considered for potential use in a solar-driven Open-Cycle Absorption Refrigeration (OCAR) system. A vertical falling film absorber was proposed and built to ...
Performance Predictions of Solar Open-Cycle Absorption Air Conditioning Systems in Three Climatic Regions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Open-cycle absorption air conditioning is a promising type of solar-driven cooling system. It addresses, in a significant way, the problems of high solar collector costs and power requirements ...
