Abstract: This paper shows an analysis of the applicability of an adsorption system for electric vehicle (EV) air conditioning. Adsorption systems are designed and optimized to provide the required cooling ...

Abstract: Vehicle heating requires a substantial amount of energy. Electric vehicles (EVs) generate little waste heat, and using battery energy for heating may consume a substantial fraction of the energy ...

Abstract: This paper studies the application of insulated pressure vessels for hydrogen-fueled light-duty vehicles. Insulated pressure vessels are cryogenic-capable pressure vessels that can be fueled with ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a heat pump that uses a solid desiccant dehumidifier to reduce the humidity of the ambient air that flows into the evaporator, with the purpose of decreasing ...

Abstract: This paper shows the development and use of a transient model for evaluating frost formation on a parallel-plate heat pump evaporator. A frost formation model is derived by applying the equations ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a class of latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system. The analysis is based on a simplified model that allows the system performance to be evaluated in ...

Abstract: We have used the HCT (hydrodynamics, chemistry, and transport) chemical kinetics code to simulate HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition) combustion of methane-air mixtures. HCT is applied ...
