Abstract:This work presents a systematic techno-economic assessment of 84 conventional and novel working fluid mixtures in two-stage, double-and triple-effect (Kangaroo) absorption refrigeration cycles. Rectifiers are modeled as staged distillation columns to capture appropriately the separation tasks. All mixtures are first evaluated based on process operating performance indicators including the coefficient of performance, the exergy efficiency, the cycle high pressure, the refrigerant and absorbent total flowrates, … Show more
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.
