OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of refrigeration at 4 degrees C and post-refrigeration times (immediate, 5, 10, 15, or 20 min) on the viscosity and conversion kinetics of adhesive bonding resins. METHODS Scotchbond Dual-Cure (3M ESPE) and Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) were tested. Control samples were kept at 25 degrees C for 24 h. At each post-refrigeration time, the temperature was ...

The most critical problem in the world is to meet the energy demand, because of steadily increasing energy consumption. Refrigeration systems` electricity consumption has big portion in overall consumption. Therefore, considerable attention has been given to refrigeration capacity modulation system in order to decrease electricity consumption of these systems. Capacity modulation is used to mee...

This paper presents the analysis results of R429A, R430A, R431A and R435A as drop in substitute for R152a at various evaporating temperature with condenser temperature 30°C, 40°C and 50°C. A theoretical study of thermodynamic properties such as pressure, density, and specific volume, latent heat of vaporization compression index, and critical values are done. The theoretical performance of vapo...

1 This project is subsidized by the natural science fund of Shaanxi Province (serial number of project: 2004E210) Abstract: In this paper, according to practical consideration, a new solar powered rotary solid adsorption refrigerator system adopting activated carbon fibre + ethanol as its adsorption pair has been designed with higher performance. Moreover, the principle of the refrigeration cyc...

OBJECTIVE The post-reconstitution chemical stability and microbial challenge hold time of nonpreserved telavancin for injection was determined using common reconstitution diluents and intravenous (IV) infusion solutions stored at room temperature with light (ambient) or at 2°C to 8°C without light (refrigeration). METHODS Telavancin was reconstituted with 5% dextrose, 0.9% normal saline, or s...

The exergetic analysis is a tool that has been used successfully in many studies aiming a more rational energy consumption to reduce the cost of processes. With this analysis, it is possible to perform an evaluation of the overall process, locating and quantifying the degradation of exergy. This paper applies exergy approach for analyzing the heat exchanger network design and refrigeration of M...
