Performances of the mixed-gases Joule–Thomson refrigeration cycles for cooling fixed-temperature heat loads

Exergy analysis of C2+ recovery plants refrigeration cycles

“…The first is based on the definition discussed in references Kotas (1995) and Gong et al (2004). where E eva is the exergy of the refrigerant at a fixed cooling temperature of T c and W is the required work in the compressors of the cycle.…”

Experimental and theoretical investigation on the performance of CO2/propane auto-cascade refrigerator with a fractionation heat exchanger

“…Gong et al [23] conducted an exergy model to analyze the performance of two Joule-Thomson refrigeration cycles. The results showed that most of the exergy losses in the ACR cycle occurred in IHEX.…”

New flow boiling heat transfer model for hydrocarbons evaporating inside horizontal tubes

“…Besides, methane (R50) and ethane (R170) are the main components in nature gas and both of them are important components of mixture refrigerants in mixture Joule-Thomson low temperature refrigerators (MJTR) [1], especially in the application area of cryogenic temperature zone. Many fundamental parameters, such as thermodynamic properties, as well as the heat and mass transfer coefficients, are crucial in designing and manufacturing cryogenic systems and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities.…”
