Abstract: The present study investigates the improvement in the performance of an absorption heat pump for residential space-conditioning due to the use of the ground as the heat source in the heating ...

Abstract: This study investigates the utilization of waste heat from commercial process steam boilers for air conditioning using absorption cooling systems. An ammonia-water generator absorber heat exchange ...

Abstract: Real-time state estimation of a linear dynamic system using an observer, in the presence of modeling errors in the system model used by the observer and uncertainty in the initial system ...

Abstract: Repetitive control is applied here to compensate for roll eccentricity disturbances in thickness control of the cold rolling process. A unique aspect of the process is that the eccentricity ...

Abstract: Upper bounds on transient response magnitudes for a SISO continuous-time repetitive control system are derived. Limiting the size of these transients is shown to be related to limiting the ...

Abstract: 1. By convention, pressure drop is treated as a positive value. Therefore, Eq. (11) should be as follows, i.e., without the negative sign on the right-hand side:

Abstract: 1. By convention, most of the equations in this paper treat pressure drop as a negative value. For consistency, the following equations should have the negative signs added as shown below: ...

Abstract: This paper reports the development of an experimentally validated model for pressure drop during intermittent flow of condensing refrigerant R134a in horizontal microchannels. Two-phase pressure ...

Abstract: The diffusion driven desalination (DDD) process has been previously introduced as a process for distilling water using low-grade waste heat. Here, a configuration of the DDD process is introduced ...
