RISDesign and Performance Evaluation of a Heat Exchanger Network for a Cogeneration DMS to Various Thermal Utilization Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hitachi-GE developed a 300-MWe-class modular simplified and medium small reactor (DMS) between 2000 and 2004. It was designed to have merits over traditional nuclear power plants in areas of lower initial capital investment, ...
A New Approach to Delay or Prevent Frost Formation in Membranes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Saturation of the water vapor is essential to form frost inside a permeable membrane. The main goal of this paper is to develop a numerical model that can predict temperature and humidity inside a membrane in order to show ...
Performance Improvement of Membrane Energy Exchanger Using Ultrasound for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Air conditioning (AC) systems consume the maximum proportion of the total electricity used in the building sector. The demand for AC systems is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years due to various reasons ...
Thermo-Economic Performance of a Cogeneration Medium–Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Plant in Canada
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hitachi-GE developed a 300 MWel class modular simplified and medium small reactor (DMS) concept, and the DMS was originally designed for generating electricity only. In this study, the feasibility of a cogeneration DMS ...
Experimental Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer in a Rectangular Channel With a Sinusoidal Porous Screen
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experiments are conducted to investigate turbulence enhancing effects of a porous meshscreen with a sinusoidal shape normal to the flow direction inside a rectangular cross section air channel at low Reynolds numbers (i.e., ...
Extension of the Concepts of Heat Capacity Rate Ratio and Effectiveness Number of Transfer Units Model to the Coupled Heat and Moisture Exchange in Liquid to Air Membrane Energy Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The underlying concept of the standard effectivenessnumber of transfer units (NTU) model is that the effectiveness of an exchanger can be correlated to two dimensionless parameters, namely, heat capacity ratio (Cr) and ...
