Temperature-Entropy Diagrams and Cycle Analysis forR12+R22 Refrigerant Mixtures

Transport Properties of Refrigerant Mixtures: Thermal Conductivity

In the present work, the integral equations method is used to calculate transport properties of polar fluids. For this goal, we use the Stockmayer potential and examine theoretically the thermal conductivity of several refrigerant mixtures such as R125+R134a, R125+R32, R125+R152a, R134a+R32, R152a+R32, R134a+R143a, and R125+R143a. We solve numerically the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation usin...

Cycle Performance and Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Heat Pump Using R22/R142b Refrigerant Mixtures

A heat pump system is constructed tO evaluate the performance and the heat transfer characteristics. Mixtures of R22/Rl42b are adopted in the heat pump. The heat transfer in the evaporator and the overall perfomance arc measured and analyzed in terms of the compositions and the flow rate of the refrigerants. The evaporator consists of counter~currem concentric circular tubes. Possibility of cap...

Wide-Boiling Refrigerant Mixtures - Technical and Commercial Challenges

Outgassing and Absorption Rates of Oil/Refrigerant Mixtures

Knowledge of the solubility characteristics of an oiVrefrigerant mixture is important when analyzing the lubrication system behavior in refrigerant compressors since the solubility significantly affects the viscosity of the mixture. For an operating compressor, the lubricant is a mixture of oil and refrigerant and the viscosity of the mixture is a strong function of the refrigerant concentratio...

Solubility, Viscosity and Density of Refrigerant/Lubricant Mixtures

Solubility (vapor pressure) , viscosity and density have been experimentally determined for thirty-five potential refrigeration working fluids. Properties for low refrigerant concentration mixtures (0, 10, 20 and 30 weight percent refrigerant) were determined over the temperature range 0 to IOO•C (32 to 212"F) or to the critical temperature of the refrigerant, and pressure range 0 to 3,500 kPa ...
