Dynamic simulation and experimental validation of a two-phase closed thermosyphon for geothermal application

open access: yesPropulsion and Power Research, 2017
The heat transfer performance of a vertical two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) used in a geothermal heat pump was experimentally investigated. The TPCT is a vertical plain steel pipe with inner diameter of 114 mm and bored 368 m deep underground ...

Mechanical vapor compressio--Membrane distillation hybrids for reduced specific energy consumption [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The energy efficiency of membrane distillation (MD) systems is low when compared to other thermal desalination systems. This leads to high water production costs when conventional fuels such as natural gas are used.

Modelling non-isothermal absorption of vapour into expanding liquid sheets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The problem of non isothermal absorption of vapour into freely expanding liquid sheets is addressed in this study. This is done in the context of four models that characterise the coupled heat and mass transfer in the liquid phase: a nonlinear model ...

Manufacture of urea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Urea is in many ways the most convenient form for fixed nitrogen. It has the highest nitrogen content available in a solid fertilizer (46 %). It is easy to produce as prills or granules and easily transported in bulk or bags with no explosive hazard.

An investigation of condensation heat transfer in a closed tube containing a soluble noncondensable gas [PDF]

open access: yes
A more exact one-dimensional condensation heat transfer model for insoluble gases was developed and compared with experimental data. Modifications to this model to accommodate soluble gas behavior were also accomplished, and the effects on gas front ...
