High-Mountains Asia (HMA) forms the largest mountain mass on Earth and provides the water needs for more than one billion people living in downstream regions. They play a crucial role by interacting with regional atmospheric circulations, such as the summe ...
Energy piles are an efficient renewable energy source. The advantage of these heat capacity systems is the use of already necessary infrastructure for structural support to extract heat from the ground. In this project a numerical finite element model of t ...
Over the years, much research has been conducted on two-phase flows in straight tubes because these tend, in length, to be predominant in two-phase systems. However, two-phase heat exchangers can also have singularity elements, where the most common type i ...
The conversion to more environmentally friendly refrigerants is of prime importance for refrigeration and air-conditioning industries. A first option for the substitution of the fluids which use was banned could be natural refrigerants, such as CO2, or HFC ...
This study reviews the current state of the art of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) with heat sink temperatures of 90 to 160°C. The focus is on the analysis of heat pump cycles, suitable refrigerants, and the operating ranges of commercially available H ...
A new prediction method for the frictional pressure drop in annular two-phase flow is presented. This new prediction method focuses on the aerodynamic interaction between the liquid film and the gas core in annular flows, and explicitly takes into account ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from these large ...
This study reviews the current state of the art and the current research activities of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) with heat sink temperatures in the range of 90 to 160°C. The focus is on the analysis of the heat pump cycles and the suitable refrig ...
This article is the first part of a study on flow boiling of R236fa and R245fa. This part presents pressure drop measurements obtained on a silicon multi-microchannel evaporator with 85 urn wide and 560 mu m high channels separated by 46 mu m wide fins. Th ...
Cripto is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored co-receptor of Nodal and several other transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family ligands. It contains an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like motif and a Cripto-FRL1-Cryptic (CFC) domain, which ...
