The dual mixed refrigerant (DMR) cycle, which pre-cools natural gas with the mixed refrigerants and then liquefies the natural gas with another set of mixed refrigerants, is well known for having the highest efficiency among the liquefaction cycles. Its possible application to LNG FPSO is also extensively investigated. In this study, the optimal operating conditions, such as the equipment’s flo...

When a refrigeration plant operates with a large difference between condensing and evaporating pressures, multistage operation is required to obtain an acceptable performance. In two-stage systems, vessels that combine flash-gas removal and intercooling are commonly used. The disadvantage of these vessels is the large amount of refrigerant required for proper operation. An alternative for these...

In this paper the results of both modeling and testing a representative 3-ton air-to-air heat pump running with the baseline refrigerant (HCFC-22) and zero ODP alternative refrigerants will be presented. Alternative refrigerant simulation runs are made with two pure fluids (HFC-134a and HFC-152a) and an azeotropicmixture (60/40wt%) ofHFC-32 and HFC125 (Allied-Signal Inc. U.S. Patent 4,978,467)....

Solubility (vapor pressure) , viscosity and density have been experimentally determined for thirty-five potential refrigeration working fluids. Properties for low refrigerant concentration mixtures (0, 10, 20 and 30 weight percent refrigerant) were determined over the temperature range 0 to IOO•C (32 to 212"F) or to the critical temperature of the refrigerant, and pressure range 0 to 3,500 kPa ...

background: daily administration of thyroxine has proven efficacy in treatment of children with hypothyroidism. however, the possibility of treatment with longer dosing intervals that offers flexibility and choice in maintaining euthyroid state has not been tested in children. objectives: to study the efficacy of an alternate day regimen to maintain euthyroidism in children with congenital hypo...

Considering the vulnerability of double-layer grid space structures to progressive collapse phenomenon, it is necessary to pay special attention to this phenomenon in the design process. Alternate path method is one of the most appropriate and accepted methods for progressive collapse resistant design of structures. Alternate Path Method permits local failure to occur but provides alternate pat...
