To minimize environmental impact and CO2 production associated with air-conditioning system operation, it is reasonable to evaluate the prospects of a clean energy source. Solar energy can drive an absorption chiller in order to satisfy the cooling needs of buildings. The objective of this work is to build a simulation environment that can evaluate accurately the energy consumption of an air co...

The optimal use of electrical and fuel energy in a chiller system, like absorption chiller system, is important in achieving economical system operation. The related research work, including the derivation of a thermal model for the system by an integration of component models can be a tedious task, based on the technology today. The numerous assumptions associated with the governing equations ...

Present preliminary scientific trial was designed to investigate of microwave effects on Japanese quails as an animal model. Thirty six three days-old quail chicks were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups and received: A) un-treated tap water, B) tap water boiled by electrical heater and then cooled and C) tap water treated by microwave oven and then cooled. The whole experimental perio...

Chilled-water cooling systems used in the chemical processing, petroleum manufacturing, and power generation industries remain fertile ground for electrical energy savings. This is in spite of the lack of attention given to industrial cooling by energy auditors and rebate program designers. This article discusses the large energy savings that can be achieved through hardware and operational imp...

To evaluate the effect of cooled and chlorinated chill water for Campylobacter and coliforms at a middle-size processing plant which was considered to be difficult for eliminate pathogenic bacteria on carcasses, following three conditions were examined; keeping temperature at < 20, < 10 and < 10°C, and chlorine concentration at < 50, < 50 and 50 to 70 ppm during processing in experiment 1, 2 an...

Detailed activation analyses have been performed for the different blanket design options considered in the ITER blanket option trade-off study. The options considered included a selfcooled Li/V option, a helium cooled Li/V option, and a water cooled 316 SS non-breeding shield option. A vacuum vessel made of double wall inconel 625 and water cooled 316 SS balls is used with all options. The He-...
