This paper reviews the state-of-the-art knowledge of boiling heat transfer in binary mixtures, special emphasis is placed on refrigeration industry. The advantage of using refrigerant mixtures over pure refrigerants include the enhancement of coefficient of performance (COP), better match with the desired thermal load and safer, more environmental-friendly refrigerants. In other words, the concept of using mixtures enables more flexibility for the selection of suitable working fluids in particular applications. The purpose of this review article aims to summarize the important published articles on boiling heat transfer in binary mixtures and innovative technologies, as well as to identify limitations to existing studies and directions for future research of this promising thermal management technique. The present article reviews straightforward on both pool boiling and flow boiling in a systematic and comprehensive way. This article maily focus on the review of the effects of mass diffusion, heating surface characteristics, heats from dilution and dissolution on pool boiling heat transfer of binary mixtures, as well as the effects of flow orientation, flow regime and flow instability on flow boiling heat transfer of binary mixtures. Many papers reviewed herein relate to the heat transfer correlations during boiling of binary mixtures. The review reveals that numerical simulations of boiling in binary mixtures, the benefits of surface modification on boiling of binary mixtures and the flow boiling of highly viscous pseudo-plastic mixtures have been scarcely investigated and require further investigation.

As an important part of building energy efficiency, residential distributed energy system once was paid so much attention before, but due to restricted factors such as cost, revenue and policy, it would not be promoted further. Among them, the electricity price is one of the main factors. With the introduction of ladder-type electricity price, a comprehensive assessment respectively in PV system and residential GE cogeneration system will be made to discuss the economical efficiency and feasibility of residential distributed energy system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
