Optimal Cooling Load and COP Relationship of a Four-Heat-Reservoir Endoreversible Absorption Refrigeration Cycle Open
On the basis of a four-heat-reservoir endoreversible absorption refrigeration cycle model, another linear heat transfer law [i.e., the heat-flux] is adopted, the fundamental optimal relation between the coefficient of performance (COP) and…
RETRACTED: Effect of Heat Leak and Finite Thermal Capacity on the Optimal Configuration of a Two-Heat-Reservoir Heat Engine for Another Linear Heat Transfer Law Open
Based on a model of a two-heat-reservoir heat engine with a finite high-temperature source and bypass heat leak, the optimal configuration of the cycle is found for the fixed cycle period with another linear heat transfer law . The finite …
Optimization of a Thermoacoustic Engine with a Complex Heat Transfer Exponent Open
Heat transfer between a thermoacoustic engine and its surrounding heat reservoirs can be out of phase with oscillating working gas temperature. The paper presents a generalized heat transfer model using a complex heat transfer exponent. Bo…
Power density analysis and optimization of a regenerated closed variable-temperature heat reservoir Brayton cycle Open
In this paper, the power density, defined as the ratio of power output to the maximum specific volume in the cycle, is taken as the objective for performance analysis and optimization of an irreversible regenerated closed Brayton cycle cou…
The Influence of Several Major Irreversibilities on the Performance Characteristics of an n-Stage Combined Heat Pump System Open
A universal cycle model of an n-stage combined heat pump system, which includes the irreversibility of finite-rate heat transfer across finite temperature differences, the heat leak loss between the external heat reservoirs, and the irreve…
CAI tutorial method of teaching Thermodynamics at U.S. Naval Academy. Open
A computer-assisted instruction in Thermodynamics developed during the past two years at the U. S. Naval Academy has been used for teaching a number of midshipmen individually . An IBM 1500 instructional system is used in which each midshi…
A statistical survey on the CAI thermodynamics at U. S. Naval Academy Open
A computer-aided instruction in thermodynamics has been developed at U. S. Naval Academy for teaching a number of midshipmen individually. The ultimate goal of the course is to contribute to increasing the quality and effectiveness of the …
