The nanofluids of interest comprise TiO2-Anatase (-A), TiO2-Rutile (-R), SnO2, Co3O4, CuO, ZnO, and Al2O3 as nanoparticles dispersed in ethylene glycol, water, poly ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol + water, and poly ethylene glycol + water as base fluids. The EoS was capable of estimating 1397 density data of 9 nanofluids with the overall average absolute deviations (AAD) of 0.90%. The coefficients of isothermal compressibility of 6 selected nanofluids were also predicted using the EoS with the AAD of 5.74% for 1095 data points examined. The PHDC EoS was not capable of estimating the excess volumes of 3 selected EG-, PEG-, and water-based nanofluids accurately as the relative deviations from the literature data were greater than 34%, even though the trend of results against the nanoparticle concentration was in accord with the literature. To further investigate the density prediction, we have trained a neural network with a single hidden layer and 17 neurons which was able to predict the densities of nanofluids accurately.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"55 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44211772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, cooling mechanism of the fluidic-driven GMC is complicated, as the displacer motion inside the displacer cylinder is simultaneously controlled by the pressure difference between drive chamber and compression/expansion chamber. Different paths of displacer can be traced inside the displacer cylinder for different drive-chamber discharging process, hence, pressure–volume power of compression and expansion chambers, and refrigeration power changes. A theoretical study is conducted in present paper to visualize the influence of drive-chamber discharging process on the thermodynamic characteristics of fluidic-driven GMC for the first time. Thermodynamic cycles are drawn at the expansion chamber of the fluidic-driven GMC for different values of drive-chamber discharging process for two types of valve timing arrangements. Energy and work loss behaviors in different components of the GMC are also analysed. Adequate experimental investigations have also been carried out on a fluidic-driven displacer type GMC to verify the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"1 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47751819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finite time thermodynamics provides effective theoretical tool for determining performance limits for given thermal systems, and determining optimal process paths of thermal systems for given performance objectives. Endoreversible model is its basic model. A model of endoreversible non-isothermal chemical engines operating between a finite chemical-potential source and an infinite chemical-potential sink with mass resistance and heat resistance is established. Mass transfer processes between chemical potential reservoir and working fluid of the model are assumed to obey Onsager equations in linear irreversible thermodynamics. With a fixed cycle period, optimal cycle configuration for the maximum work output of the model is derived by applying optimal control theory. The results obtained include optimal performance and optimal path results in many previous literatures, and can provide some theoretical guidelines for optimal designs of practical chemical plants.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"41 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49584299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The D 2 {D^{2}} Chebyshev tau technique is used to calculate the associated system of equations subject to the boundary conditions for both theories. Three different types of internal heat source function are considered, the first type increases across the layer, while the second decreases, and the third type heats and cools in a nonuniform way.

In response to this question, the thermoelectric properties of thermoelectric materials (p and n type Bi 2 Te 3 {mathrm{Bi}_{2}}{mathrm{Te}_{3}}) are measured under different temperature difference environments. The Seebeck coefficient, resistivity, and thermal conductivity of the specimens at T = 300 – 600 KT=300text{--}600hspace{0.1667em}text{K} were measured by CTA-4 and CLA1000 (laser flash method), respectively; the thermal and electrical output responses of the thermoelectric materials under different temperature difference conditions were collected in real time by using a self-built thermoelectric performance test platform, thermal/electrical test system with infrared thermal imager, and voltage acquisition system, respectively. The experimental results show that when the temperature difference between the two ends of the specimen increases uniformly, the electrical output signal amplitude also increases uniformly; when the temperature difference is stable, the two ends of the specimen also produce a stable electrical output signal. After stabilization, the electrical output signal amplitude also decreases uniformly when the temperature decreases at a uniform rate.

The electric effect of the capacitive impedance in the semiconductors was considered in the equations as a novelty term that naturally appears by solving the Boltzmann equation to find the mathematical form of the current density. Thus, considering the new term and heath energy balances, a one-dimensional mathematical model for a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) powered by a time-dependent current was developed, finding a new nonlinear Thomson effect in the heath transfer equations. To evaluate the impact of the nonlinear effect on the thermodynamic behavior of the thermoelectric cooler, a continuous, sinusoidal and square-pulse current conditions were simulated. The temperature profile, temporal evolution, and the effective coefficient of performance (COP) were calculated. The results revealed a new thermoelectric heat transfer in addition to the Thomson flow created by virtual junctions throughout the semiconductors caused by the instantaneous change of current.

Three temperature model is adopted to distinguish the temperature among the fluid, particle, and solid. The governing transport equations have been converted to a system of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations by employing von Karman transformation. Numerical results of the flow and heat and transfer characteristics of the fluid, particle, and solid are obtained by applying Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method (RKF) together with the shooting technique. The numerical results in the present work are compared with the published results for the case of thermal equilibrium and found that they are in good agreement.
