Online resources: Summary: Refrigeration Systems and Applications, Second Edition offers a comprehensive treatise that addresses real-life technical and operational problems, enabling the reader to gain an understanding of the fundamental principles and the practical applications of refrigeration technology. New and unique analysis techniques (including exergy as a potential tool), models, correlations, procedures and applications are covered, and recent developments in the field are included - many of which are taken from the author's own research activities in this area. The book also includes some discussion of global warming issues and its potential solutions. Enables the reader to gain an understanding of the fundamental principles and the practical applications of refrigeration technologies. Discusses crucial industrial technical and operational problems, as well as new performance improvement techniques and tools for better design and analysis. Includes fundamental aspects of thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat transfer, refrigerants, refrigeration cycles and systems, advanced refrigeration cycles and systems, including some novel applications, heat pumps, heat pipes and many more. Provides easy to follow explanations, numerous new chapter-end problems and worked-out examples as learning aids for students and instructors. Refrigeration is extensively used in a variety of thermal engineering applications ranging from the cooling of electronic devices to food cooling processes. Its wide-ranging implications and applications mean that this industry plays a key role in national and international economies, and it continues to be an area of active research and development. Refrigeration Systems and Applications, Second Edition forms a useful reference source for students and researchers in academia and as well as practising engineers working in this important fieldSummary: Intro -- Refrigeration Systems and Applications -- Contents -- About the Authors -- Preface -- Acknowledgements -- 1 General Aspects of Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.1.1 Systems of Units -- 1.2 Thermodynamic Properties -- 1.2.1 Mass, Length and Force -- 1.2.2 Specific Volume and Density -- 1.2.3 Mass and Volumetric Flow Rates -- 1.2.4 Pressure -- 1.2.5 Temperature -- 1.2.6 Thermodynamic Systems -- 1.2.7 Process and Cycle -- 1.2.8 Property and State Postulate -- 1.2.9 Sensible Heat, Latent Heat and Latent Heat of Fusion -- 1.2.10 Vapor States -- 1.2.11 Thermodynamic Tables -- 1.2.12 State and Change of State -- 1.2.13 Pure Substance -- 1.2.14 Specific Heats -- 1.2.15 Specific Internal Energy -- 1.2.16 Specific Enthalpy -- 1.2.17 Specific Entropy -- 1.3 Ideal Gases -- 1.4 Energy Change and Energy Transfer -- 1.4.1 Mass Transfer -- 1.4.2 Heat Transfer -- 1.4.3 Work -- 1.5 The First Law of Thermodynamics -- 1.6 Refrigerators and Heat Pumps -- 1.7 The Carnot Refrigeration Cycle -- 1.8 The Second Law of Thermodynamics -- 1.9 Exergy -- 1.9.1 What is Exergy? -- 1.9.2 Reversibility and Irreversibility -- 1.9.3 Reversible Work and Exergy Destruction -- 1.9.4 Exergy Balance -- 1.9.5 Exergy or Second Law Efficiency -- 1.9.6 Illustrative Examples on Exergy -- 1.10 Psychrometrics -- 1.10.1 Common Definitions in Psychrometrics -- 1.10.2 Balance Equations for Air and Water Vapor Mixtures -- 1.10.3 The Psychrometric Chart -- 1.11 General Aspects of Fluid Flow -- 1.11.1 Classification of Fluid Flows -- 1.11.2 Viscosity -- 1.11.3 Continuity Equation -- 1.12 General Aspects of Heat Transfer -- 1.12.1 Conduction Heat Transfer -- 1.12.2 Convection Heat Transfer -- 1.12.3 Radiation Heat Transfer -- 1.13 Concluding Remarks -- Nomenclature -- Study Problems -- References -- 2 Refrigerants -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.1.1 Refrigerants.PPN: PPN: 808848674Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
