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

Two Refrigerant Mixtures and the Hard Sphere Fluid

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

G. Morrison, Mark O. McLinden

This is a discussion of the use of the perturbed hard sphere equation of state to describe refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures. A brief review of mixture modeling is given. Two mixtures, R13Bl/R152a, and R12/R22, are discussed as examples ofthe
