Utilizing the waste heat from HCCI engines through the Kalina cycle alongside the NH<sub>3</sub>-H<sub>2</sub>O based Absorption refrigeration cycle (ARC) and waste heat exchanger (WHE) makes it possible to produce power, cooling, and provide heating simultaneously. To examine the system performance, a comprehensive thermodynamic investigation based on energy and exergy balances are applied to this model. Additionally, a parametric investigation is also carried out to assess how some important different design parameters influence the useful outputs and performance of the proposed trigeneration system. The findings indicate that the HCCI engine achieved energy and exergy efficiencies of 41.59% and 34.29%, respectively, when waste heat was not utilized (i.e., without a bottoming cycle). However, with the effective use of waste heat from a wet-ethanol fuelled HCCI engine through the integration of the Kalina cycle, ARC cycle, and WHE, the overall system energy and exergy efficiencies were significantly enhanced to 51.49% and 39.28%, respectively. Additionally, the trigeneration system attains energy efficiencies of 44.64% for electricity, 4.94% for heating, and 1.91% for cooling under nominal operating conditions. Furthermore, the study identifies the key exergy destructive components within the proposed trigeneration system are the HCCI engine, catalytic converter, HRVG, and condenser 1, which exhibit exergy dissipation of 58.51%, 12.16%, 8.76%, and 6.12% respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23062,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 103648"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143935896","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}

Currently, most existing systems are limited to either cooling or heating the compartments, restricting their use to specific goods and ambient temperature conditions. Therefore, this work proposes a novel system architecture featuring three temperature-controlled compartments, utilizing two cascaded vapor compression heat pumps to enable energy-efficient combined cooling and heating of the compartments. However, the control of multi-temperature transport systems is known to be challenging, especially due to the coupled dynamics that can cause unwanted temperature deviations in the compartments, potentially leading to damage or loss of goods. To address this issue, we present a control strategy based on feedback linearization to decouple the system, allowing for individual temperature control of each compartment. The robustness of this control concept against unknown disturbances and parameter uncertainties of the model is investigated. Simulation results demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the decoupling control concept, achieving a 15% reduction in temperature deviations compared with a conventional control scheme without decoupling.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23062,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 103612"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143929011","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}

Within low pressure or hypobaric storage, a controlled atmosphere is created by lowering the total pressure of the air. Previous research on lab-scale has demonstrated significant advantages of hypobaric storage on the quality maintenance of several products. Currently, storage chambers of 750 L are being optimized to apply the technique commercially in a convenient way. However, maintaining uniform temperatures within closed, airtight storage chambers is rather challenging, and quality issues have been encountered during storage because of local hotspots or humidity problems. In this research, the storage of lime fruit inside hypobaric chambers was studied numerically using physics-based modeling. The study sought to 1) understand and analyze the cooling of fruit by mapping the developed temperature gradients inside the chamber, and 2) optimize the design and operation of the chamber to ensure more uniform thermal conditions. At reference storage conditions (30 kPa and 10 °C), temperatures up to 12.5 °C developed inside the chamber. The cooling inside the chamber mainly occurred via conduction. By lowering the storage temperature or operating pressure, the temperature gradients were strongly reduced. To further reduce the temperature heterogeneity within the chamber, additional aluminum plates (“fins”) were introduced within the chamber. Such cooling fins were shown to be effective in lowering the temperature gradients by 70 %.

The DNN model accurately forecasts such trends, with high agreement with FEM (e.g., for A<sub>w</sub> = 0.1  mm and t<sub>l</sub> = 0.1  mm) DNN forecasts CO<sub>2</sub> savings of 0.01893 kg, in contrast with 0.01888 kg for FEM). It also yields continuous and smooth extrapolation for intermediate values, such as h<sub>r</sub> = 0.24032 (voltage = 0.076676 V) and t<sub>l</sub> = 0.1201 mm (stress = 270.02 MPa). Integration between FEM simulations and prediction with DNN brings computational accuracy and efficiency together, allowing for rapid and efficient optimization of robust and high-performance TEGs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23062,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 103632"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143890546","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}
