Thermodynamic evaluation of nanorefrigerant-enhanced cascade refrigeration system
This study investigates the thermodynamic performance of a cascade refrigeration cycle (CRC) enhanced with ZrO₂ and TiO₂ nanoparticles using various refrigerants. The analysis, conducted using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES), examines key performance parameters such as the coefficient of performance (COP), exergy efficiency, exergy destruction, and compressor work. The findings suggest that nanorefrigerants enhance energy efficiency, with R600 demonstrating the highest COP and exergy efficiency, while R507a exhibits the lowest. It has been demonstrated that the COP and overall exergy efficiency of nano refrigerants with ZrO2 nanoparticles exceed those of TiO2. Additionally, the study highlights the potential of low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants combined with nanoparticles for enhancing refrigeration performance. The findings provide insights into the viability of nanofluid applications in CRCs and suggest future experimental research to validate the theoretical results.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
