Design of nonflammable mixed refrigerants based on the partial molar enthalpy difference in mixed-refrigerant Joule-Thomson refrigerators with/no pre-cooling stage

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering
Abstract Mixed-refrigerant Joule-Thomson refrigeration (MJTR) is an important cooling method at temperatures from 80 to 230 K. It can be used in cryosurgery, high-temperature superconductivity and sensor cooling etc. However, most of the studies are on nitrogen-hydrocarbon refrigerants, which are not allowed in applications where there ...

An integrated mixed refrigeration cycle for pre-cooling of refrigeration below 25 K

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Two trends can be found in current large-scale cryogenic projects. The first is the ever-increasing capacity requirements, while also a shift towards cooling demands at higher temperatures is observed. Conventional helium cycles require the use of oil flooded screw compressors, which are limited in efficiency, capacity, and reliability. Reverse-Brayton

A Novel Function of Nonadecanoic Acid in Regulating Glucose Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the odd‐chain fatty acid C19:0 as an endogenous ligand of GPR120 that promotes glucose homeostasis via Gαq signaling. In obesity, elevated palmitic acid suppresses endogenous C19:0 production through a miRNA–PPARα–HACL1 pathway, offering a promising direction for understanding the role of OCFAs in human health.
