Analysis of H2O/EMISE absorption chiller driven by stationary solar collectors in hot-humid climate
The performance of H2O/EMISE (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate) absorption chiller driven by stationary solar collectors including the flat plate collector (FPC), evacuated tube collector (ETC), compound parabolic collector (CPC) in hot-humid climate is the focus of this study. As a case study, the cooling capacity of the absorption chille...

Experimental analysis of a latent thermal energy storage system enhanced with metal foam
Worldwide, the energy consumption of refrigeration systems increased by 50% in the last 20 years. Currently, active refrigeration systems are often used to maintain cold chains in industry. However, there are remarkable drawbacks in the operation of active systems such as susceptibility to blackouts in the power supply and vibrations during their o...
Impact of cold storage on platelets treated with Intercept pathogen inactivation.
Published in Transfusion
Pathogen inactivation and cold or cryopreservation of platelets (PLTs) both significantly affect PLT function. It is not known how PLTs function when both are combined. Standard PLT concentrates (PCs) were compared to pathogen-inactivated PCs treated with amotosalen photochemical treatment (AS-PCT) when stored at room (RT, 22°C), cold (4°C, n = 6),...
Review of Experimental Research on Supercritical and Transcritical Thermodynamic Cycles Designed for Heat Recovery Appli...
Supercritical operation is considered a main technique to achieve higher cycle efficiency in various thermodynamic systems. The present paper is a review of experimental investigations on supercritical operation considering both heat-to-upgraded heat and heat-to-power systems. Experimental works are reported and subsequently analyzed. Main findings...
Impact of large tip clearance ratios on the performance of a centrifugal compressor
Ultra-compact and fast spinning turbomachinery is a key technology to increase performance of domestic heating applications and to address decentralization of power and heat as a consequence of the rise of renewable energy sources. Recently, a heat pump using a reduced-scale centrifugal compressor with an impeller diameter of 20 mm supported on gas...
Non-hysteretic first-order phase transition with large latent heat and giant low-field magnetocaloric effect
Published in Nature Communications
First order magnetic phase transitions have many practical applications but they often involve structural changes that make it difficult to control energy losses. Guillou et al. show that Eu2In has an isostructural transition with a mechanism distinct from other known magnetoelastic transitions.
Raman spectroscopic studies on carbon dioxide separation from fuel gas via clathrate hydrate in the presence of tetrahyd...
Hydrate carbon dioxide (CO2) separation is a promising method for reducing carbon emission. In this work, water-solubility of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was added into water to generate the single gas/liquid interface. In order to understand hydrate nucleation and crystallization well, CO2 concentration in the residual gaseous phase was measured, morpho...
