Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the heat exchanger inventory allocation plays a role in maximizing the thermal performance of a two-stage refrigeration system with two evaporators. ...

Abstract: Measurements of the velocity and turbulence characteristics of a round turbulent jet in crossflow are reported. The experiments were conducted in a water channel, 8.53 m long, 0.61 m wide, and ...

Abstract: An alternative method employed in industrial cleansing applications involves injecting liquid water in a flow of gaseous nitrogen and discharging the mixture through a converging-diverging nozzle ...

Abstract: In this paper, the structure of a wall jet deflected by a baffle along with the trajectory of particles has been studied. This baffle is used to produce a stable deflected surface jet, ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic performance analysis was performed on a novel cooling and power cycle that combines a semiclosed gas turbine called the high-pressure regenerative turbine engine (HPRTE) with an ...

Abstract: Increasing the coefficient of performance of a vapor compression refrigeration system may be realized by utilizing work recovering expansion devices that additionally lower the enthalpy of the ...

Abstract: One of the methods used for industrial cleansing applications employs a mixture of gaseous nitrogen and liquid water injected upstream of a converging-diverging nozzle located at the end of a ...

Abstract: A life cycle cost analysis was performed to compare life cycle costs of a novel gas turbine engine to those of a conventional microturbine with similar power capacity. This engine, called the ...

Abstract: This paper reports on analyses and optimization studies of problems associated with liquid hydrogen thermal stratification and self-pressurization in cryogenic vessels. Three different pressure rise ...
