This paper proposed a computation program to predict the in-tube thermodynamic performance of the LSC (liquid–vapor separation condenser). The refrigerant circuit of the LSC was then optimized using the Penalty Factor with the predicted results. The proposed program was used to calculate a...

This study evaluates the thermal hydraulic performance of a novel liquid–vapor separation condenser (LSC). A series of experiments was performed to investigate the in-tube heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of the LSC with varying average refrigerant quality at constant mass flux. The...

This study provides value estimates for intangible assets of publicly traded hotel firms in the USA. When evaluating a firm's tangible and intangible assets, tests of model usefulness reveal that it is meaningful to decompose adjusted income (AI) into adjusted income derived from intangible...

We analyze the performance outcomes of National Hockey League (NHL) players over 18 seasons (1990-1991 to 2007-2008) as a function of the demographic conditions into which they were born. We have three main findings. First, larger birth cohorts substantially affect careers. A player born into a...

It is highly significant for China to improve its development of wind power. In order to promote the sustainable development, a more comprehensive evaluation of factors affecting the effectiveness of investment in the industry wind power is required to be conducted to formulate a relatively...

Large-scale wind power transmission presents the power system with several challenges. The determination of the transmission tariff and the cost-sharing issue are potential obstacles which may influence the development of wind power. This paper analyses the incremental cost to the power system...
