RISPerformance of a Cross-Cooled Desiccant Dehumidifier Prototype
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A cross-cooled desiccant dehumidifier prototype was constructed and tested. The cross-cooled dehumidifier prototype was constructed in the form of a cube with a side dimension of 0.6 m. The ...
Effect of Operating Conditions on the Performance of Two-Bed Closed-Cycle Solid-Sorption Heat Pump Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of two operating parameters, the regeneration temperature and the ambient temperature, on the performance of two-bed, closed-cycle solid-sorption heat pumps is investigated. The results ...
Performance Optimization of Rotary Dehumidifiers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A rotary dehumidifier consists of a rotating porous matrix made of a desiccant with mechanically supporting materials. The dehumidification performance of a rotary dehumidifier wheel depends on ...
Dynamic Analysis of a Closed-Cycle Solar Adsorption Refrigerator Using Two Adsorbent-Adsorbate Pairs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A dynamic analysis of a closed-cycle, solar adsorption refrigerator is presented. The instantaneous and daily system performance are studied using two adsorbent-adsorbate pairs, Zeolite 13X-Water ...
A Correlation for the Heat Conduction Effects in Counterflow Rotary Regenerative Heat Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Equations that predict the dependence of regenerator effectiveness on heat conduction in the matrix both parallel to and perpendicular to the fluid flow are derived from numerical simulations. ...
Effect of Design and Operating Parameters on the Performance of Two-Bed Sorption Heat Pump Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of design and operating parameters on the performance of closed-cycle, two-bed sorption heat pump systems were investigated. The parameters studied in this paper included the effects ...
Effect of Operating Conditions on Optimal Performance of Rotary Dehumidifiers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design-point dehumidification performance (i.e., at ARI conditions) of a rotary dehumidifier wheel depends on its rotational speed, the sorption properties of the desiccant, the heat and mass ...
Laminar Fluid Flow in a Planar 90 Degree Bifurcation With and Without a Protruding Branching Duct
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The laminar flow field in a planar, ninety degree bifurcation is examined. This numerical study uses the computational-fluid-dynamics software Fluent Version 4.11. First, the velocity field in a ...
Development of a Method to Evaluate the Design Performance of a Feedwater Heater With a Short Drain Cooler
