An original model for estimation of the thermal characteristics of the combined cycles is developed, to determine the influence of the evaporation, interstage, condensation, and generating temperature conditions on mechanical and thermal COPs of the combined system, and to optimize the thermal parameters of the cycle. Results are presented for different temperature conditions, with R134a as a suitable refrigerant. A comparison between the thermal characteristics of the simple mechanical vapor compression cycle, the simple ejector thermocompression cycle, and the combined compressor - ejector refrigeration / heat pump cycle is given. The benefits of implementation of combined compressor - ejector refrigeration/heat pump cycles in HVAC&R systems are discussed. The temperature lift or temperature difference between condensing temperature and interstage temperature significantly influences the thermal (ejector) coefficient of performance. If temperature lift is between 10 K and 20 K, high values of thermal COPs can be achieved (0.5?1.0, for generating temperature equal to 80?C; 1.0?1.8, for generating temperature equal to 120?C); If temperature lift is between 30 K and 40 K, very low values of COPth can be obtained (0.05?0.3).

This study focuses on an UTES (Underground Thermal Energy Storage) system that was modeled for Van Region, using M-file program. The performance of an isolated day heat system as a TES was investigated, and the thermal energy storage capacity of the system was researched for a 5x5x5 m soil area located on the Van Yuzuncu Yil University Campus. The temperature distribution, heat loss, and efficiency calculations were performed for a complete year and 3D representations of the findings were obtained. The lowest efficiencies were observed in May, while the highest efficiencies were observed in July. It was found that the maximum heat loss from the system took place during December and January, and the system could be easily and effectively become a heating source for a single household with the addition of a heat pump.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68248107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the effects of pulverized coal combined O2/N2 and pulverized coal mixed O2/CO2 combustion on the velocity field, temperature field, material component, and NOx concentration distribution in the furnace are investigated concerning the changes of kinetic parameters of CaCO3 decomposition under different working conditions. Compared with the O2/N2 atmosphere, the temperature distribution in the high-temperature zone of the decomposition furnace is more uniform under the O2/CO2 atmosphere. The temperature range is reduced in the area of extremely high temperatures. The NOx concentration at the decomposition furnace exit is reduced by 37%. The high concentration of CO2 at the output can be recycled and reused to reduce the greenhouse effect effectively. In addition, the high CO2 partial pressure increases the exit temperature by 111 K, doubles the O2 concentration, but decreases the raw meal decomposition rate from 95.9% to 82.2%.
