Experimental Comparison of Ammonia-Water and Ammonia-Water Lithium Bromide Mixtures in an Absorption Heat Pump

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden, R Radermacher

The performance of an absorption heat pump (AHP) operating with ammonia-water and ammonia-water-lithium bromide mixtures is compared. The AHP was designed for the ammonia-water system but operated successfully and without modifications with the ternary

Research and Development of Heat Pumps Using Nonazeotropic Mixture Refrigerants

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

J M. Calm, David Didion

Although nearly a century has passed since the use of multi component refrigerant was first proposed, such refrigerants have achieved only extremely limited application. Further research and development will be needed before widespread use ofnonazeotropic

Simulation of a Heat Pump Operating With a Nonazeotropic Mixture

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

Piotr A. Domanski, David Didion

This paper provides an overview of the model developed for simulation of steady -state performance of a heat pump working with a nonazeotropic binary mixture. The modeled heat pump consists of a hermetic, reciprocating compressor, flat-finned tube heat

Slide-Rule Estimates of Fire Growth.

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

James R. Lawson, Jim G. Quintiere

A series of prediction methods have been assembled to provide an analytical basis for estimating fire growth in compartments. Solutions for each prediction method can be made using programmable scientific calculators. Prediction methods are presented for

Steady-State Modeling of Absorption Heat Pumps With a Comparison to Experiments

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden, S. A. Klein

A modular, steady-state model for the simulation of absorption heat pumps (AHP) is presented. The model is based on detailed mass and energy balances and heat and mass transfer relationships from components of the cycle and is applied to a prototype AHP
