refrigerants that are used in refrigeration systems, cause environmental difficulties such as depletion of ozone layer and greenhouse effect. thus, we must find substitutes for such refrigerants, in this paper, the effect of refrigerant on the thermodynamics performance of refrigeration cycles are studied. to do this, a refrigerator that has designed for r12, is simulated. results show that pur...

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...

This paper presents technical assessment of environmentally friendly refrigerants as alternatives to R410A for window air conditioners. The alternative refrigerants that are studied for its replacement include R32, R600a, R290, R1234yf, R1234ze and a mixture of R32 (90% molar concentration) and R125 (10% molar concentration). Baseline experiments were performed on a window unit charged with R41...

The use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) has been widely restricted. They have been replaced with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in order to protect the ozone layer. However, the leakage of refrigerant into air from active or end-of-life air conditioners has been a serious environmental issue owing to the high global warming potential (GWP) of HFCs. It has therefore...

Practical and empirical equations of transport properties have been developed for refrigerant compounds. These equations have been used to develop correlations for experimental heat transfer coefficient (IITC) for both evaporation and condensation in smooth tubes. Model calculations have been compared with recent experimental data, and reasonable agreement has been obtained. INTRODUCTION We hav...

A certain percentage of the vapor compression based refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems continue to run on halogenated refrigerants due to its excellent thermodynamic and thermo-physical properties along with the low cost. However, the halogenated refrigerants have adverse environmental impacts such as ozone layer depletion potential and global warming. Hence, it is necessary ...

Oiscussed in the paper is the mixed scenario of charged liquid surface reconstruction when the surface 20 charge density is c1o$e to the saturation . The basic building block of the arising honeycomb structure is shown to be a modifie multielectron dimple.

Modern lifestyle, industrialization and economy thrive on energy which is getting expensive overtime. Thermosyphon based systems are getting attraction for their promising heat transfer efficiency and zero energy utilization. Refrigerants having ozone depletion potential (ODP) and high Global Warming Potential (GWP) have been banned or under time bared permission under Montreal (1987) and Kyoto...
