Refrigerant is also one material that affects global warming and international have plans to reduce the use of HFC refrigerants. Thailand also uses R404A refrigerant, which is an HFC refrigerant with a GWP of up to 3,129 and Thailand plans to reduce its use by 15% in 2030. R404A is the most widely used HFC refrigerant today because it can be used in both refrigeration and air conditioning systems. In the refrigeration system, which uses about 1 ton of refrigerant, when a leak occurs, in addition to affecting global warming and maintenance costs, it also affects the energy consumption of the refrigeration system. From data on the amount of refrigerant used in 2022, it was found that the use of refrigerant for maintenance is 25 tons, averaging 2 tons per month. This research will present the optimization of the maintenance refrigeration system by decreasing carbon emissions using ultrasonic sensors to keep the refrigerant level. The ultrasonic detects flat gas in refrigeration systems, which can detect fluid leaks rather than leaks. detector or using a sight glass. The results of the research found that when the refrigerant leak can be fixed quickly, it will save the use of refrigerant and help reduce energy. When fixing a leaking refrigerant system, 1) 10% will reduce energy by 7%. 2) 20% will reduce energy by 17% 3) 30% will reduce energy by 59%. This system will be able to be expanded to other stores and air conditioning systems in the future.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":" 46","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of composite patches for mending fractured structures contributes significantly to prolonging their serviceability. However, this strategy often mandates curing the adhesive at temperatures surpassing ambient conditions. Hence, the present investigation centers on the reparation of a cracked plate via a composite patch under conditions of thermo-mechanical loading. The study also delves into the repercussions of thermal stresses on the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), engendered by elevated curing temperatures. By executing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the SIF at the crack tip was computed, and a parametric examination was executed to scrutinize the influence of assorted parameters such as the thickness of the patch and adhesive on SIF, leveraging the ANSYS tool. Notably, the existence of a composite patch resulted in a substantial reduction of SIF, with noteworthy SIF alterations arising from parameter variations. Elevation in SIF, prompted by thermal stresses due to adhesive curing, was found to manifest markedly, a predicament that can be mitigated by effecting adhesive curing at ambient temperatures.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":" 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141832553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Refrigerant R600a is an alternative working fluid as a substitute for R134a in automotive (A/C). This environmentally friendly substitute refrigerant is also expected to produce a better system performance, for which it is necessary to analyse energy and exergy. During work, each AC component generates friction, heat loss, and pressure drop which causes irreversibility in each component. The irreversible quantity of each component is calculated by exergy analysis. Because automotive A/C is driven by engine rotation, its performance is also affected by engine rotation. In this study, the engine rotation to be evaluated is 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 rpm. The evaporating and condensing temperatures of automotive A/C in this study were 5oC and 45oC, respectively. Based on the energy analysis it was found that replacing R134a with R600 enhanced COP, for example at 2000 rpm for R134a and R600a respectively were 3.59 and 3.69, or an increase in COP of about 3%. Based on the exergy analysis, the greatest irreversibility occurred in the compressor, namely 72.1% and 78.6% for R134a and R600a, respectively, for 2000 rpm. This means that there is a potential to enhance the COP improvement using R600a by reducing the irreversibility on the compressor.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, studies on Poiseuille flows have focused on Newtonian fluids in non-moving pipes, limiting advancements in the field. This research addresses the gap by exploring the Poiseuille flow of a viscoelastic non-Newtonian second-grade nanofluid. These second-grade fluids, applicable in polymer processing and cosmetics manufacturing, exhibit both shear-thinning and shear-thickening properties under certain conditions. The study analytically solves the flow characteristics of blood nanofluids, reducing the governing equations to ordinary differential equations using standard Poiseuille flow assumptions. The simulation results reveal that among the three nanofluids tested, graphene-blood nanofluid achieves the highest velocity, while copper-blood nanofluid exhibits the lowest. Additionally, the velocity of graphene-blood nanofluid decreases with an increase in volume percentage. This work not only advances the understanding of non-Newtonian fluid dynamics but also provides insights into optimizing fluid management systems in biomedical and industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":" 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
