This paper shows a tool chain of a set of ready-touse tools and libraries that enables the dynamic real-time simulation of vapour compression cycles. A new approach for calculation of fluid properties and numeric efficient component models are applied. As an Hardware in the Loop application a vapour compression cycle is exported to Scale -RT [5] using SimulationX [11] and connected to a hardwar...

The rate of evaporation of drops of dibutyl phthalate and butyl stearate of radius approx. 0*5 mm. has been studied by means of a microbalance over a range of atmospheric pressures down to approx. 0*1 mm. of mercury. Wide departures from Langm uir’s evaporation formula were found to oceur a t these low pressures, bu t results are in good acoordance with the theory of droplet evaporation advance...

In this study, an in-house multi-dimensional code has been developed which simulates the combustion of n-heptane in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine. It couples the flow field computations with detailed chemical kinetic scheme which involves the multi-reactions equations. A chemical kinetic scheme solver has been developed and coupled for solving the chemical reactions an...

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are electrochemical conversion devices that produce electricity directly by oxidising a fuel. The interconnects between the individual cells need to be coated limit Cr(VI) evaporation from steel and preserve electrical conductivity. Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD)-coated samples with Ce/Co, Ce/Cu, Ce/MnCu, Thermal Spray (TS)-coated Mn/Co, Cu Mn/Cu AISI 441 were e...

SnO(2)/Sn nanocables have been grown on single-crystal Si substrates by metal catalyst assisted thermal evaporation of SnO powders. The morphologies and structures of the prepared nanocables were determined on the basis of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spect...

Polypropylene (PP) has been one of the most widely used polymers due to the versatility and cost benefits obtained with this material. In this work, composites of PP modified with nanostructured ZSM-5 zeolite were prepared and their thermal and mechanical properties were evaluated. Zeolites were synthetized by hydrothermal method and the crystallization time was modified to evaluate the effect ...

In the present study attempts were made to prepare metered dose inhalation of salbutamol in solution form and compared it with the marketed metered dose inhalation in suspension form. Solution form of the drug was found better than marketed suspension formulation with respect to homogeneity and content uniformity. Propellant blend P-11 and P-12 in the proportion 30:70 was selected as it gave op...

We report on a novel optical thin film material, erbium-doped deuterated amorphous carbon, fabricated directly on silicon substrate at room-temperature via controlled thermal evaporation of a Metal-Organic compound in a Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (MO-PECVD) system. High erbium concentrations (up to 2.3 at.%) and room-temperature photoluminescence at 1.54 microm are successfully ...
