Performance of Cross-Cooled Desiccant Dehumidifiers

Fabrication and Properties of Micro-Nanoencapsulated Phase Change Materials for Internally-Cooled Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification

Micro-nanoencapsulated phase change materials (M-NEPCMs) are proposed to be useful in liquid desiccant dehumidification by restraining the temperature rise in the moisture-removal process and improving the dehumidification efficiency. In this paper, the n-octadecane M-NEPCMs with desirable thermal properties for internally-cooled dehumidification were fabricated by using compound emulsifiers th...

Desiccant Dehumidification Analysis

Desiccant dehumidification has been given increasing interest in the air conditioning industry. Compared with conventional vapor compression air conditioning systems, desiccant dehumidification saves energy by separating humidity control from temperature control and also improves the indoor air quality as a good filter. This research explores the potential of applying desiccant dehumidification...

The Effect of Geometrical Characteristics of Desiccant Wheel on its Performance

Desiccant wheels are widely used in buildings to control humidity and reduce energy consumption. A model is presented based on transient coupled heat and mass transfer, to model, design and analyze the effects of geometrical characteristics of a honeycombed rotary desiccant wheel and its performance. Governing equations are solved numerically using finite volume method and the model is validate...

Cross-bridges on the Microtubules of Cooled Interphase Hela Cells

Electron micrographs of spindle microtubules of plant (5, 6, 11) and animal cells (2, 6) in division show electron-opaque projections at right angles to the tubule axes . These have been interpreted as cross-bridges, and it has been proposed that they may participate in the movement of chromosomes (7) . Cross-bridges have also been observed in a variety of specialized structures that consist of...
