The miniaturization of redox flow cells (RFCs) paves the way to novel energy conversion concepts combining power delivery and heat regulation. Envisioning integration high-power-density RFCs into electronic devices such as microprocessors, lasers, or light-emitting diodes for purpose providing management simultaneously, we introduce investigate interdigitated, tapered multiple-pass microfluidic networks in miniaturized cells. Employing 3D-printing facile inexpensive fabrication these...
Exergy analysis has been widely used to assess refrigeration systems by evaluating exergy losses or efficiency. The latter is mostly as an indicator determine the system performance, which requires comparison of actual with its idealized reversible version, but not practical achievable Therefore, a practice-oriented evaluation method for plants in free cooling operation proposed, based on and technical standards baseline. By considering input auxiliary devices, overall design hydraulic...
The purpose of passive air blast safety valves is to protect people and technical installations in buildings or facilities. In case explosions, e.g. due failures an oil- gas refinery, the valve should close milliseconds with incident shock wave substantially reduce blast-pressure leakage into building. On other hand, exhibit a low pressure drop normal operation order power consumption ventilators. One main difficulty design such meet minimum requirements, while ensuring functionality...
Exergy analysis allows us to determine the quality of energy sources and losses due irreversibilities through a system. However, quantification possible improvements as compared with state art in technology is complicated. Typically, it referred thermodynamic ideal, which not achievable practice. Therefore, this paper introduces exergy optimization potential index, new key figure based on technical standard values, order assess performance vapor compression refrigeration plants cold water...
Traditional protective structures are usually equipped with ventilation systems. Main components of the latter passive air blast safety valves. Their purpose in case an explosive event outside structure is to significantly reduce pressure leakage into order protect human individuals as well technical installations. Until now, performance determination such valves mostly realized by means experimental tests a shock tube. Considering industrial and modern civil protection applications their...
To investigate and optimize a refrigeration system, the behavior at various operating conditions must be known or determined.The performance improvement possibilities may then inferred from measurement data compared with corresponding key figures.These values are typically referred to normal it is usually unknown which ones represent an adequate operation.However, relevant for plant operators have reference large range of operation as baseline determining obtainable improvements.The present...
