...Brian D. Eldredge; Bryan P. Rasmussen; Andrew G. Alleyne Vapor compression cycle systems using accumulators and receivers inherently operate at or near a transition point involving changes of phase at the heat exchanger outlets. This work introduces a condenser/receiver model and an evaporator...

...-hydraulic network as the system goes from one steady state to another. Experimental results are related to those derived from a mathematical model. The network consists of a primary and three secondary loops. There is a water-to-water heat exchanger on each secondary, with the cooling coming from...

...Ales Hribernik; John J. Moskwa To examine the influence of intercooler thermal inertia on transient engine operation, a 2D model of an air-to-air, cross-flow heat exchanger has been developed. Finned passages of heat exchanger core have been subdivided into separate channels of charge and cooling...
