The equation of state has a functional form expressed explicitly in the Helmholtz energy with temperature and density as the independent variables, and the form is fitted to consistent experimental datasets, including the critical parameters, vapor pressure, saturated liquid and vapor densities, <span>((p, rho , T))</span> behavior, vapor-phase sound speed, and ideal gas isobaric heat capacity. The equation of state is valid between temperatures from 240 K and 400 K, with pressures up to 6.5 MPa. In this range, expected relative uncertainties at the 95 % confidence interval (<span>(k=2)</span>) are 0.1 % for liquid densities, 0.4 % for vapor densities, and 0.1 % for vapor-phase sound speeds, except at the saturation states and in the critical region where larger deviations of up to 2 % are possible in densities due to higher experimental uncertainties. The uncertainty in calculated vapor pressures is 0.15 % above 275 K, which is larger at lower temperatures due to their small values. Various plots of derived properties from the equation of state show that the equation exhibits qualitatively correct behavior over wide ranges of temperature and pressure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10765-024-03447-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142737231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EnergyPlus simulation using the medium office prototype model was employed, which evaluated the performance of the energy and CO₂ concentration for five VAV box airflow control strategies. The paper focuses on CO₂ concentration-based airflow control method and compares it with other four methods including conventional single-max, reduced minimum single-max, demand-controlled ventilation(DCV), and dualmax control methods according to guidelines and common practices. The newly proposed control strategy directly correlates the minimum airflow fraction to CO₂ concentration. A general trend emerged when comparing CO₂ concentrations—lower minimum airflow fractions were associated with higher concentrations. The proposed control method effectively maintained low CO₂ concentrations and enabled a lower airflow fraction contributing to energy consumption reduction. It was confirmed that heating energy consumption in climate zone 4A, 5B, and 6A showed a maximum saving of approximately 30% compared to the conventional single-max and dual max control strategies. It was found that cooling energy consumption in climate zone 4A and 6A can achieve a maximum saving of approximately 10% compared to the conventional control strategies. The proposed CO₂ concentration-based control logic is promising as it not only improves the indoor air quality lowering the CO₂ concentration in the occupied spaces, but also contributes to HVAC energy savings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142714426","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}

PC-SAFT was applied successfully for predicting liquid density for the mixtures and different mixing rules of refractive index were used for modeling the experimental values of refractive index. The experimental data were also used to calculate the excess molar volumes, <span>(V_{123}^E)</span>, and refractive index changes on mixing, <span>(Delta n_{D,123})</span>, for the ternary systems.

Nevertheless, the evolution of phase-change fluid frequently encounters volatile states, resulting in considerable pressure fluctuations. This paper seeks to enhance the pipes active cooling efficiency of phase change by examining the weight ratios of pipe structural parameters on heat transfer, pressure drop, and comprehensive performance. Simulation model based on the Volume of Fluid (VOF) methodology was constructed to investigate the heat transfer and pressure reduction performance of the pipes. A comprehensive performance factor that considering both pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics was developed. The contributions of pipe structural parameters to the objective functions of pressure drop, heat transfer, and comprehensive performance are evaluated using a combination of orthogonal experiments and the Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) function. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated using quartz lamp thermal experiments. The findings suggest that when formulating the objective function based on comprehensive performance, the principal influencing factor for micro-pipe is wall thickness, accounting for up to 42.7 %. Conversely, for mini-pipes, the primary influencing factor is coolant flow velocity, contributing 43 %. Due to the effects related to size, the factors influencing the overall performance of micro/mini-pipes differ. They are primarily influenced by alterations in vapor volume fraction generated by phase change inside the pipeline. This study proposes an evaluation method considering multiple factor levels, furnishing crucial technical support for phase-change heat transfer technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142694762","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}

This work describes a novel composite cavity combining two toroidal split-ring resonators and a cylindrical resonator, each sealed and partially filled with the polymer PEEK, to spatially separate sensing regions whilst maintaining an unobstructed sample volume. This unique design also allows for the total sample volume to be an order-of-magnitude smaller than conventional microwave cavities, without significantly increasing the resonant frequencies.
