We present simulation results on a novel dew-point evaporative air conditioner which was designed based on a counter-flow closed-loop configuration consisting of separated working channels and product channels. The novel evaporative air conditioner is able to cool air to temperature below...

Magnesium based metal hydride has been viewed as one of the most commonly-used materials in the practical applications of hydrogen energy systems. The heat and mass transfer processes have significant effects on the hydrogen storage performance of magnesium based metal hydride reactors....

Magnesium hydride is one of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage and high-temperature heat storage. The heat and mass transfer processes occurring in magnesium hydride reactors are very complicated. In the present study, a mathematical model for a magnesium hydride reactor is...

Lower specific cooling power (SCP) as compared to absorption and compression chillers slows down a broader application of adsorption cooling (AC) technology. In this paper, we endeavor to find out the factors dominating ad/desorption dynamics in adsorptive chillers and to make practical...

Continuous frying systems are very energy intensive. They also involve the interaction of many variables and complex heat and mass transfer processes. Better control of these processes can lead not only to improved product quality but also energy reduction. This paper presents a model that can...
