APPLICATION POSSIBILITY OF BINARY NONAZEOTROPIC REFRIGERANT IN JET REFRIGERATION *

This paper analyzes the possibility of applying binary nonazeotropic refrigerants in the jet refrigeration cycle. The thermodynamic cycle performance of two kinds of working pairs (R30/R142b, R30/R124) are calculated using the EOS of PR equation of state, and the results are discussed. The theoretical calculations indicate that refrigerating quality can be improved if the binary mixtures evaporate just in the low temperature region. The character of the rejecter to compress two phase medium supports the possibility of this kind of cycle.

Experimental Analysis of the Performances of Unit Refrigeration Systems Based on Parallel Compressors with Consideration of the Volumetric and Isentropic Efficiency

The performances of a refrigeration unit relying on compressors working in parallel have been investigated considering the influence of the compressor volumetric efficiency and isentropic efficiency on the compression ratio.Moreover,the following influential factors have been taken into account:evaporation temperature,condensation temperature and compressor suction-exhaust pressure ratio for different opening conditions of the compressor.The following quantities have been selected as the unit performance measurement indicators:refrigeration capacity,energy efficiency ratio(COP),compressor power consumption,and refrigerant flow rate.The experimental results indicate that the system refrigeration capacity and COP decrease with a decrease in evaporation temperature,increase of condensation temperature,and increase in pressure ratio.The refrigerant flow rate increases with the increase in evaporation temperature,decrease in condensing temperature and increase in pressure ratio.The compressor power consumption increases with the increase in condensing temperature and increase in pressure ratio,but is not significantly affected by the evaporation temperature.

Evaporating Temperature Uniformity of the Pulsating Heat Pipe with Surfactant Solutions at Different Concentrations

The evaporating section of the pulsating heat pipe(PHP)is in direct contact with the electronics when it is used for heat dissipation,and thus the evaporating temperature uniformity has an important effect on the safe and reliable operation of electronic equipment.On the basis of these conditions,an experimental study on the evaporating temperature uniformity of the PHP with surfactant solutions at different concentrations was conducted at the heat fluxes of(1911–19427)W/m^(2).Sodium stearate was utilized for the solute;the surfactant solutions were prepared with the concentrations of 0.001 wt%,0.002 wt%,and 0.004 wt%,respectively,and the filling ratios of the PHP were 0.31,0.44 and 0.57,respectively.The experimental results revealed that under all tested working conditions,the highest temperature always appeared in the intermediate zone of the evaporating section.As the heat flux increased,the temperature differences among different zones rose initially and then reduced due to the change of the flow motion and the flow pattern.The evaporating temperature uniformity of the sodium stearate solutions-PHP was better than that of the deionized water-PHP,which suggested that the evaporating temperature uniformity might be improved through decreasing the surface tension.Furthermore,combined with the effect of surface tension and viscosity,for different filling ratios,the required concentration was different when the best evaporating temperature uniformity was achieved.To be specific,when the filling ratio were 0.31 and 0.44,the best evaporating temperature uniformity was achieved at the concentration of 0.004 wt%,while at the filling ratio of 0.57,the best evaporating temperature uniformity was attained at the concentration of 0.002 wt%.

THEORY DEPOSITION MODEL AND INFLUENCING FACTORS DURING PROCESS OF PREPARING MICRO-LAYER LAMINATE BY EBPVD

This paper briefly introduces the characteristics of electron beam physical vapor depo-sition (EBPVD) technique and the whole process of preparing micro--layer compositelaminate. And several major influencing factors are presented and discussed. It wasfound that residual gas pressure should be low enough to guarantee the unobstructedtransporfation of vapor steam and electron beam; the evaporation method and evapo-ration speed are up to the different vapor pressure deficit of compositions of raw mate-rials; and the substrate temperature could have great influence on the microstructureof the micro--layer laminates.

Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer Performance for Ultra-Thin Flat Heat Pipe

The heat transfer performance of ultra-thin flat heat pipes with#180 copper mesh wick was studied by numerical simulation for different heating powers.The length,width and height of the ultra-thin flat heat pipe are 80 mm,8.5 mm and 1 mm,respectively.The temperature distribution and flow characteristics of ultra-thin flat heat pipes were simulated by coupling porous media model and user-defined function(UDF)in FLUENT.To validate the accuracy of the numerical model,the simulation results of the ultra-thin flat heat pipe are compared with the experimental data in predicting the evaporation section temperature.The numerical model has good accuracy for the one-dimensional heat transfer method of ultra-thin flat heat pipes.The velocity,pressure drop of the wick and total temperature difference have the same variation trend.With the increase of heating power,the temperature difference of ultra-thin flat heat pipes increases,and the pressure drop and the liquid velocity in the wick also increase.

Behavior of Element Vaporization and Composition Control of Fe-Ga Alloy during Vacuum Smelting

Saturated vapor pressure, critical evaporation temperature and evaporation loss rate of Fe-Ga alloy were calculated under different conditions of Ga and Fe contents with activity coefficients. The relationship between the change of Ga content and melting time was determined. The results demonstrated that saturated vapor pressure of Ga was higher than that of Fe under the same conditions. The difference value of critical evaporation temperature of Ga with and without Ar was nearly 800 K. The critical evaporation temperature of Fe was higher than that of Ga under vacuum, indicating that Ga was more volatile than Fe. At 1800 K, the evaporation rate of Ga was 84 times higher than that of Fe in the melt of Fe81Ga19 alloy. Under this condition, the change of Ga content and smelting time kept a linear relationship. The higher the temperature was, the faster the Ga content decreased, which was consistent with theoretical calculations.
