The term cryogenics derives from the Greek kryos, for icy cold. The upper limit that characterizes the cryogenic region of the temperature scale is subjective. If the delimitation criterion takes into consideration practical reasons, then this upper limit can be established at a higher than usually declared value (120 K) in order to include natural gas fuel liquefaction. The cryogenics region of the temperature scale 0–120 K can be divided into sub regions according to the criteria of the cryogenic method and refrigerant (known as crycoolers) as follows: (more…)

The idea of using an absorption fluid as a refrigerant carrier derived from the drawback of VCR (vapor–compression refrigeration) systems that the gas compression requires a high work input. A pump that requires practically no work to increase the pressure in the refrigeration system replaces the complicated and work-consuming compressor. There are two major advantages of absorption refrigeration systems (ARSs) compared with VCRs (vapor–compression refrigeration): No CFCs or HCFCs are used as refrigerants, and they use heat from different sources, such as combustion, industrial processes, waste heat (an economical solution for recovery), or solar heat.

n fabricating microscale energy systems, a number of operating conditions must first be taken into account. Foremost are the operating temperatures throughout the device. Often with mesoscale/ microscale energy systems, two closely spaced parts of the same device have a large temperature difference between them; hence, a large gradient can be present. A primary constraint is to have the material withstand the maximum temperatures existing in the system, but the gradients and thermal expansion must also be tolerated. (more…)

The most fundamental process from an energy systems standpoint is heat transfer to (or from) a working fluid. This unit operation typically occurs in small channels, the characteristic diameter of which is less than 1 mm. Other heat transfer exchanger configurations, such as fluid flowing through a network of posts or through a mesh, are also possible. Specific examples of this fundamental unit operation include phase change occurring in boilers (modular steam boiler), evaporators, and condensers. (more…)

Active solar hot water systems water are usable with air, liquid, vapor or liquid collector fluid or gas to liquid process. Hot water production with an air-heating collector’s distribution for heating is usually performed in the large space heating panel systems. The losses in the process of heat transfer are high. Air systems work not as well as units of the liquid to heat the water. Air systems are generally only capable of hot water 70 to 95F. (more…)
