When are solar refrigerators less costly than on-grid refrigerators: A simulation modeling study☆
BACKGROUND Gavi recommends solar refrigerators for vaccine storage in areas with less than eight hours of electricity per day, and WHO guidelines are more conservative. The question remains: Can solar refrigerators provide value where electrical outages are less frequent? METHODS Using a HERMES-generated computational model of the Mozambique routine immunization supply chain, we simulated the...
متن کاملQuantum-enhanced absorption refrigerators
Thermodynamics is a branch of science blessed by an unparalleled combination of generality of scope and formal simplicity. Based on few natural assumptions together with the four laws, it sets the boundaries between possible and impossible in macroscopic aggregates of matter. This triggered groundbreaking achievements in physics, chemistry and engineering over the last two centuries. Close anal...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of a Reciprocating Compressor For Household Refrigerators
This paper presents a method for the numerical simulation of reciprocating compressors for household refrigeration. The compressor is regarded as a set of volumes and one-dimensional, variable-area ducts connected together. The model describes all relevant features of the compressor, including suction and discharge mufflers and automatic valves. The equations governing the unsteady flow of a re...
متن کاملThermodynamic Analysis of the Irreversibilities in Solar Absorption Refrigerators
A thermodynamic analysis of the irreversibility on solar absorption refrigerators is presented. Under the hierarchical decomposition and the hypothesis of an endoreversible model, many functional and practical domains are defined. The effect of external heat source temperature on the entropy rate and on the inverse specific cooling load (ISCL) multiplied by the total area of the refrigerator A/...
متن کاملComparative Numerical Study of Pulse Tube Refrigerators
The focus of this work is the modeling and performance comparison of different models of pulse tube refrigerators, namely, the Orifice Pulse Tube Refrigerator (OPTR) and the Inertancetube Pulse Tube Refrigerator (IPTR) with both in-line as well as coaxial configurations. A detailed analysis of the flow and heat transfer in various components of the above mentioned models under oscillating flow ...
