Models are presented for ideal thermal wave adsorption cooling cycles without mass recovery, with adiabatic mass recovery and with isothermal mass recovery. Coefficient of performance (COP) values obtained from simulations are compared with the results of a reversible cycle and previously developed models for a simple cycle and heat recovery cycle with two spatially isothermal beds (2SIB). The effects of maximum and minimum bed temperatures, bed's dead mass, and condensation and evaporation temperatures on COP were investigated. The thermal wave cycle has significantly higher COP's than the simple and 2SIB cycles. For the conditions investigated, adding mass recovery to the thermal wave cycle does not affect its COP significantly. The COP of the thermal wave cycle increases with increasing maximum bed and evaporation temperatures and decreasing minimum bed and condensation temperatures. Unlike for the simple and 2SIB cycles, variations in the bed's dead mass have minimal impact on COP. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd and IIR. All rights reserved.

Parametric Study and Seasonal Simulations of a Solar Powered Adsorption Cooling System Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth; Kaftanoglu, Bilgin (2009-09-03) Models of solar-thermal powered adsorption cooling systems with and without heat recovery developed in TRNSYS and results from steady-periodic and seasonal simulations are presented. A normalized model is presented and used to process the seasonal TRNSYS results to investigate the coincidence between the solar-supplied cooling power and cooling load as the relative sizes of the cooling system and storage are varied. The normalized model yields a seasonal solar fraction and seasonal loss fraction (the excess...
A novel cascade latent heat thermal energy storage system consisting of erythritol and paraffin wax for deep recovery of medium-temperature industrial waste heat Yang, Sheng; Shao, Xue-Feng; Luo, Jia-Hao; Baghaei Oskouei, Seyedmohsen; Bayer, Özgür; Fan, Li-Wu (2023-02-15) Recovering medium-temperature (e.g., 150–180 °C) industrial waste heat through latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) can effectively attenuate the consumption of fossil fuels. However, the LHTES system containing a single medium-temperature phase change material (PCM), e.g., erythritol, cannot absorb the part of heat below the PCM's melting point (∼118 °C) during the charging process. Meanwhile, a single low-temperature PCM, e.g., paraffin wax, is unable to supply a significant amount of heat at temper...
Unravelling convective heat transfer in the rotated arc mixer Speetjens, M.F.M.; Başkan Perçin, Özge; Metcalfe, G.; Clercx, H.J.H. (2014-01-01) Thermal homogenization is essentially a transient problem and convective heat transfer by (chaotic) advection is known to accelerate this process. Convective heat transfer traditionally is examined in terms of heat-transfer coefficients at domain walls and characterised by Nusselt relations. However, though of proven worth, such Nusselt relations offer limited insight into the underlying thermal transport phenomena. This study seeks to address this by considering convective heat transfer from an alternative...
Implementation of metal-based microchannel heat exchangers in a microrefrigeration cycle, and numerical and experimental investigation of surface roughness effects on flow boiling Jafari Khousheh Mehr, Rahim; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Ünver, Hakkı Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) A microscale vapor compression refrigeration cycle has been constructed for possible application in the thermal management of compact electronic components. The micro-evaporator and micro-condenser components have been fabricated using wire electron discharge machining and micromilling, respectively. Three microevaporators have been manufactured with different surface roughness for the experimental and numerical investigation of roughness effect on nucleate flow boiling in microchannels. In the numerical pa...
