In this contribution, two approaches are followed to predict the saturated liquid density of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures. In one approach, 12 cubic equations of state (EoSs), comprising the popular Peng-Robinson (PR) and Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS), are employed to predict the saturated liquid density of 20 LNG mixtures. In the other approach, these EoS are used in conjunction with a rec...

Thermodynamical properties of nuclear matter at sub-saturation densities were investigated using a simple van der Waals-like equation of state with an additional term representing the symmetry energy. First-order isospin-asymmetric liquid-gas phase transition appears restricted to isolated isospin-asymmetric systems while the symmetric systems will undergo fragmentation decay resembling the sec...

The thermal conductivity of refrigerants is needed to optimize and design the main components HVAC&R systems. Consequently, it crucial have reliable models that are able accurately calculate temperature pressure dependence refrigerants. For first time, this study presents a neural network specifically developed liquid various low-GWP-based In detail, feed-forward algorithm with 5 input para...

in this paper, the vapor-liquid equilibrium (vle) properties of polar and nonpolar fluids are modeled by the use of a statistically-based equation of state (eos). the equation of state used in this work is that of ihm-song-mason (ism) eos. an alternative approach is to revise the isothermal integration on liquid. in this respect, a temperature-dependent revision factor b (t) is introduced to th...

Abstract—In present paper, the performance of various alternative refrigerants is compared to find the substitute of R22, the widely used hydrochlorofluorocarbon refrigerant in developing countries. These include the environmentally friendly hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants such as R134A, R410A, R407C and M20. In the present study, a steady state thermodynamic model (includes both first and...

in the present work, we have examined the ability of some different equations of state in predicting the joule-thomson coefficient, ?j-t, of different fluids. for dense fluids, for which density is greater than the boyle density, ?b, two appropriate equations of state, namely the linear isotherm regularity, lir, and the dense system equation of state, dseos, have been examined. the results show...

A summary of a thermophysical properties program for six candidate alternative. refrigerants is given. This work has been performed recently at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S.A.), Thermophysics Division, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Properties measured include gas and liquid·phase PVT, vapo~ pressures, surface tension, index of ~efraction, dielect~ie eons~ant, gas phase s...

In the present paper the pressure drop characteristics of a 1.4 mm hydraulic diameter multiport minichannel tube during adiabatic two-phase flow of HFC refrigerants are discussed. The tube consists of eleven parallel rectangular cross section channels. Although much experimental research has been devoted to investigate the pressure drop characteristics of R134a inside multiport minichannels in ...
