A Novel Pinch Point Design Methodology Based Energy and Economic Analyses of Organic Rankine Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A generalized methodology for pinch point design and optimization of subcritical and transcritical organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) using both wet and dry fluids is adopted in this study. The presented algorithm can predict ...
Steady-State Energetic and Exergetic Performances of Single-Phase Natural Circulation Loop With Hybrid Nanofluids
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy and exergy performances of natural circulation loop (NCL) with various water-based hybrid nanofluids (Al2O3 + TiO2, Al2O3 + CNT, Al2O3 + Ag, Al2O3 + Cu, Al2O3 + CuO, Al2O3 + graphene) with 1% volumetric concentration ...
Single-Phase Natural Circulation Loop Using Oils and Ternary Hybrid Nanofluids: Steady-State and Transient Thermo-Hydraulics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Steady-state and transient behaviors of single-phase natural circulation loop (SPNCL) are investigated using four thermal oils (Therminol VP1, Paratherm CR, Dowtherm A, and Dowtherm Q) and water-based ternary hybrid (various ...
Experimentation and Performance Analysis of Solar-Assisted Heat Pump Dryer for Intermittent Drying of Food Chips
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A solar-assisted heat pump (HP) dryer is fabricated for intermittent drying. The experiment is performed for different intermittency ratios for radish drying using future refrigerant, R1234yf. The effect of total drying ...
Generalized Nusselt Number Correlation for Binary Hybrid Nano-Oils as Heat Transfer Fluid in Solar Thermal Systems
