Performance extension of the absorption refrigerator with LiBr solution is often faced to operate very close to the crystallization limit. Especially in the development of an air-cooled cycle, the crystallization of working solution in the system is a very difficult problem to overcome. This paper describes the cycle of hot water driven absorption system using a new working absorption solution instead of LiBr solution to improve the efficiency. In this study, we found out the characteristics of new working absorption solution through the cycle simulation and compared LiBr solution to evaluate. The effect of cooling water temperature, weak solution flow rate, hot water temperature and hot water flow rate were also examined. The COP is increased 22% higher in the case of LiBr＋Li1＋LiC1＋LiNO$_3$＋$H_2O$, 2% LiBr＋HO(CH$_2$)$_3$OH＋$H_2O$ than that of LiBr solution for the same operation condition.

This paper describes the study of developing air-cooled absorption system which uses a new working solution instead of LiBr solution to improve the performance of system. The absorption chiller-heater considered was an air-cooled, double-effect, $H_2O/LiBr+HO(CH_2)_3$ system of parallel flow type. In this study, we found out the characteristic of new working solution through the cycle simulation and compared the result that of LiBr solution to evaluate. The new working fluid has a wider working range with $8\%$ higher crystallization limit at the saturated refrigerant pressure of 0.8kPa. The optimum designs and operating conditions of air-cooled absorption system were suggested based on this cycle simulation analysis. It was demonstrated that new working fluid substantially improves the performance of the absorption refrigeration machine and is expected to increase the COP by as much as $5\%$.

Further improvement of existing $H_{2}O/LiBr$ absorption refrigeration machine is absolutely neces-sary to promote the utilization of gas-cooling system Among various methods to improve the per-formance of the absorption refrigeration machine this research has focused on the use of a new working fluid that has better properties than the existing $H_{2}O/LiBr$ working fluid. In the series of the research, $H_{2}O/LiBr+HO{(CH_{2})}_{3}OH$ system was selected as the most promisable candidate. The absorption refrigeration machine is water-cooled double-effect, $H_{2}O/LiBr+HO{(CH_{2})}_{3}OH$ sys-tem with series flow type. In this study we found out the characteristic of new working solution through the cycle simulation and compared the result with that of LiBr solution to evaluate. Theoptimum designs and operating conditions were determined based on the operating constraints and the coefficient of performance. Results demonstrate that new working fluid subsrantially increases COP by as much as 10% and has a wider working range with 8% higher crystallization limits compared to the conventional $H_{2}O/LiBr$.

A cycle analysis was achieved to predict the characteristics by comprehensive modeling and simulation of an air-cooled, double-effect absorption system using a new $H_2O/LiBr+HO(CH_2)_3OH$ solution. The simulation results showed that the new working fluid may provide the crystallization limit 8% higher than the conventional $H_2O/LiBr$ solution. With a crystallization margin of 3wt%(weight%), the optimal solution distribution ratio was found in the range of 36 to 40%. Variation of cooling air Inlet temperature has a sensitive effect on the cooling COP and corrosion problem. The simulation of heat exchangers with UA value revealed that the absorber and the evaporator are relatively important for an air-cooled system compared with the condenser and the low temperature generator. The effect of cooling air flow rate, circulation weak solution flow rate and chilled water inlet temperature were also examined. The new working fluid may provide the COP approximately 5% higher than the conventional $H_2O/LiBr$ solution.

The global environmental problems such as CFC, energy losses in heat recovery system as well as summer peak time power demands, the development of high efficiency absorption refrigeration systems is one of the most promising method in this problems. The absorption refrigeration system to utilize treated sewage is available for environmental protection and energy conservation. Simulation analysis on the double-effect absorption refrigeration cucles with parallel or series flow type has been performed. LiBr+LiI+LiCl+LiNO$_3$ solution was selected as the new working fluid. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the possibilities of effective utilization of treated sewage as a cooling water for the absorber and condenser. The other purpose of the present study is to determine the optimum designs and operating conditions based on the operating constraints and the coefficient of performance in the parallel or series flow type. In this study, we found out the characteristic of new working solution through the cycle simulation and compared LiBr solution to evaluate. The absorption refrigeration machine using the new working fluid was obtained better results COP rise and compactness of system by comparison with LiBr solution.

Performance analysis of double-effect absorption heat pump system has been done to find improved working pairs (or mixture) by computer simulation. Based on the thermodynamic analysis, the coefficient of performance and mass flow ratio are investigated to compare three aqueous solutions [LiCl-water, LiSCN-LiBr-water, LiCl-$CaCl_2$-$Zn(NO_3)_2$-water] which was developed for only cooling, with conventional LiBr-water solution. It is found that the performances of the new aqueous solutions are better than that of LiBr-water solution not only in cooling systems, but also in heating systems. Theoretical thermodynamic performance data can be used in heat recovery systems by basic design data.

Electrospinning is a versatile technique that utilizes electrostatic forces to produce very thin and fine fibers of polymer ranging from submicron to nanometer scale. The technique can be applied to fibers of a various polymer types. Working parameters in the electrospinning are very important to understand not only the nature of electrospinning but also the conversion of polymer solutions into nanofibers through electrospinning. Those parameters in the electrospinning can be broadly divided into three parts. The first parameter is solution parameters such as molecular weight of polymer, concentration, viscosity, surface tension and conductivity/surface charge density of solution. The second parameter is process such as voltage, distance between the collector and the tip of the syringe, shape of collectors, flow rate. The third parameter is ambient parameters such as humidity and temperature. Fibers which made by electrospinning with working parameters are applied for various fields according to shape such as medical, cloth, photodiode, a sensor technology, catalyst, filtration, battery etc.

The present study provides a relatively simple and accurate analytical model for the prediction of time-dependent stresses and curvatures of cracked R.C. sections under working loads. A more simplified solution is also provided. The proposed models are demonstrated by considering a numerical example and conducting a parametric study on the effects of relevant R.C. design parameters. In contrary to tension reinforcement, the compression reinforcement is found to contribute significantly in reducing tensile stresses in tension steel and in reducing the total section curvatures. The good accuracy of the proposed approximate solution opens a new vision towards a simple yet accurate model for the prediction of time-dependent effects in R.C. structures.

This paper presents efficiency improvement of a universal motor used in a vacuum cleaner. The transient computation is carried out by employing finite element analysis with nonlinear material curves. Working point of magnetic field is investigated and operating frequencies are analyzed using harmonics analysis. New non-oriented electrical steel is developed for the motor regarding permeability and iron loss at the frequencies. Accordingly, new electrical steel is applied to the motor, which leads to improve efficiency of the motor.
