Traditionally, designing novel materials involves exploring new compositions guided by insights from previous work, relying on a trial-and-error approach, where continuous synthesis and characterization proceed until the properties meet improvements. This method is inefficient due to challenges of vast chemical spaces. In this study, machine-learning-based methodology developed assist design available data in literature, allowing us test silico more than 1.2 million compositions. Two...
Conventional and not-in-kind refrigerators require heat exchangers for their operation. Yet, most magnetic cooling studies do not take full account of those components despite importance in defining the capacity temperature span. To investigate influence exchanger design parameters on performance refrigerators, a model was developed to integrate exchangers, regenerators thermal reservoirs. The results were compared with data generated an apparatus that emulates conditions fluid supplied by...
This work presents an evaluation of the thermodynamic performance a magnetic refrigerator prototype developed at Federal University Santa Catarina. Experiments were carried out to determine power consumption system as whole, and its main components (sub-systems) individually. The transmission powers associated with computed from torques required drive each sub-system frequencies between 0.2 1.6 Hz. Thermodynamic efficiency parameters, namely coefficient second-law computed. Maximum values...
