Cryosurgery is a technique for destroying undesirable tissue, such as cancers, by exposing it to a very low temperature. This paper presents a thermodynamic modeling tool that has been developed for a two stage, mixed gas Joule-Thomson (MGJT) cryoprobe used for cryosurgery. A conventional vapor compression (VC) cycle using a pure refrigerant precools the MGJT cycle providing refrigeration at th...

In recent years, there has been great interest in developing cooling systems with humidity- and temperature-independent control capabilities that can operate efficiently at varying temperatures. This paper proposes a bi-loop double-evaporator ejection–compression cycle, which utilizes low-grade heat is suitable for the construction industry. The proposed cycle involves concurrent operation of v...

Presented is a 3D simulation of the air flow and temperature variation in an ice drink refrigeration cabinet, during an automated dynamic cycle of switching on and switching off. To correctly model the effect of perforated plate separating evaporator and storage compartments, a benchmark problem is designed, and used as a reference to determine the parameters in the porous-jump model by paramet...

iran’s vast common natural gas resources and the necessity to extract and export it as liquefied natural gas (lng) to distances more than 3000km opens a lucrative field for researchers to optimize lng cycles. in this article heat integration in cryogenic cycles by determining interacycle partition temperature and optimizing refrigeration features like subcooler, presaturator, aftercooler, reboi...

In this article we have made an attempt to survey some results on performance of jet ejector. The literature is also reviewed to pursue further work in this area. Key wordsHEVS, EVS, jet ejector, performance of venture scrubber, characteristics of jet ejector, efficiency

This paper introduces the dual-mode refrigeration system for ice storage air conditioning. A computational model relating to the exergy loss amount and loss rate is developed in each component of the refrigeration cycle loop. A case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the model developed. Exergy analysis results of the refrigeration system in ice storage operating mode are co...
