In this case, the flash vessel is often called an ‘open intercooler’. Compression performance is also dependent on the refrigerant. Higher suction temperatures tend to decrease the refrigerant density and decrease the volumetric heating capacity meaning the same compressor has a lower mass flow ...
Fonseca, in The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, 2021 3.3 Molar compressibility A number of empirical equations relating important physicochemical properties of liquids and liquid mixtures has been given from time to time. One of the most prominent of them, which is closely related with the ...
Next, we solve two example problems using the existing conventional approach as found in most thermodynamics books and the new approach proposed in this paper based on the new entropy term s+. The first example deals with the calculation of the entropy change of air and the second example deal...
As observed in Tables 11 and 12, ηΠ=1 predicted by the Karlson model deviated from η = 0 significantly for both compressors, and some of the predicted values were even greater than one or negative, which violates the physical meaning of the isentropic efficiency. The inferior LR area ...
