The Experimental Assessment of R134a and Its Lower GWP Alternative R1234yf in an Automobile Air Conditioning System

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, 2019
Reducing global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants is needed to the decrease of ozone-depleting of refrigeration systems leakages. Refrigerant R1234yf is now used to substitute R134a inside mobile air conditioning systems.

Static and Dynamic Analysis of Porous Gas Bearings Lubricated With Air, Refrigerant R‐134a, Helium and Hydrogen

open access: yesLubrication Science, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 301-326, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Porous gas bearings (PGBs) enable high‐speed, oil‐free operation in modern rotating machinery. This study develops a coupled thermo‐hydrodynamic (THD) model for a cylindrical porous gas bearing lubricated with four working fluids—air, R‐134a, helium and hydrogen.

Simulation study on performance of a dual-source hybrid heat pump unit with alternative refrigerants

open access: yesEnergy and Built Environment, 2020
To solve the problems of single heat source heat pump systems in severe cold regions, a dual-source hybrid heat pump unit (DSHHPU) is proposed. The mathematical models of the DSHHPU when charging R134a or its alternative refrigerants R32, R290 and R600a ...

Redefining LiF as a Nanostructured Building Block for Interphase Engineering in Lithium Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
LiF‐rich solid electrolyte interphases in lithium metal batteries are redefined as controllable nanostructured building blocks rather than homogeneous protective films. This review shows how LiF distribution, grain boundaries, and heterogeneous interfaces govern electron blocking and Li ion transport, and compares fluorinated electrolytes, artificial ...
