    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (other academic)  

    Using green biofilters can help eliminate air pollutants and improve urban air quality. In the current study, Prunus × Yedoensis capacity of phytoremediation was investigated as a bio filter of Particulate matter (PM) in spring and summer seasons in Japan. Two samples were analysed to extract three fractions of PM (coarse, fine and ultra-fine). Results showed lower deposition of PM in spring season with total of 20.2 μg.cm-2 and high proportion for fine fraction (2.5-10μm), comparing with summer season which showed a higher deposition of PM with total of 31.9 μg.cm-2. Ultra-fine fraction (0.2–2.5μm) recorded the highest values with a percentage of 23.9&#37; of the total PM deposition. Leaf micromorphological characteristics such as, rough surface and serrated margin can enhance the Prunus × Yedoensis ability of particulate matter accretion. This study confirms that vegetation has an efficient role in improving the quality of urban air. Further structural analysis should be included to deepen the understanding of phytoremediation phenomena in plants.

    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    A new isochoric apparatus was developed for measuring PvT properties of refrigerants from 240 K to 410 K. This temperature range extends measurements below ambient (~ 300 K) and overlaps with the range of other isochoric apparatuses in NEXT-RP centre of I2CNER, Kyushu University. PvT properties of four refrigerants (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, R-134a; pentafluoroethane, R-125; trifluoromethane, R-23 and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, R-1234yf) were measured for the inner volume calculation and validation exercise. Vapour pressures of 1,1-difluoroethene (R-1132a) were measured between 240 K and 296 K (14 data points). All property measurements were conducted for heating up and cooling down phases. The expanded uncertainty values of temperature, pressure and density using the new isochoric apparatus are U(T) = 10 mK, U(p) = 1 kPa and Ur(ρ) = 0.002, respectively, where the coverage of 2 was adopted for 95&#37; confident levels. The measured vapour pressures were fitted using Wagner-type and Antoine-type equations and compared with the published data.

  • Measurements of saturation pressures for the novel refrigerant R1132(E)

    135   148 - 153   2022.3

     More details

    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    R1132(E) (trans-1,2-difluoroethylene, C2H2F2) is a potential next generation refrigerant to be utilized in air conditioning applications. This hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerant possesses an extremely low-GWP value below 1 and it is an excellent candidate for replacing R32 in blends such as R410A, which are subjected to local and international greenhouse gas regulations for limiting global warming. Two isochoric apparatus were used to measure the saturation pressures of R1132(E) from 240 K to its critical temperature. At the critical temperature, the critical pressure of R1132(E) was also directly measured. Twenty-four saturation pressures including the critical point were used for optimizing a Wagner-type equation representing the saturation pressure curve. The absolute average deviation of the saturation pressures of R1132(E) predicted by the model using the fitted parameters and the experimental data is 0.02&#37;. The optimized Wagner-type equation of saturation pressures is used for determining the acentric factor of R1132(E) as 0.2433, which is further utilized for the prediction of the saturation pressures using the Peng-Robinson cubic equation of state within an absolute average deviation of 0.31&#37;.

  • A novel hybrid adsorption heat transformer – multi-effect distillation (AHT-MED) system for improved performance and waste heat upgrade

    305   2022.1

     More details

    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Multi-effect distillation (MED) systems are considered to be the most energy-efficient thermal desalination methods. This paper introduces the development of a novel thermal desalination system for performance superior to MED systems for the same operating temperature limits. Such an unprecedented achievement was attained by upgrading the heat source using the chemical potential of adsorption phenomena. The proposed Adsorption Heat Transformer (AHT) cycle hybridized with Multi-effect distillation system (AHT-MED) exhibits higher performance ratio and water production rate than a conventional MED system for the same heating source and sink. The heat generated by the heat of adsorption with the temperature higher than the heat source is supplied to the first effect of the MED system, thus, extending the temperature difference between the Top Brine Temperature (TBT) and Bottom Brine Temperature (BBT). The higher temperature difference offers more number of effects, with the equivalent temperature difference between the effects (ΔTe) as the design parameter. Using the low-temperature heat source (as low as 58 °C), the system can employ an increased number of effects (as high as 11) due to the supply of heat at an increased temperature of around 80 °C. The proposed system achieves a higher performance ratio (approximately 5.4) and water production rate (2 kg/s) compared to the standalone MED system (PR: 4.2, WPR: 1 kg/s) with the number of effects of the hybrid system as 10 at constant interstage temperature difference between the standalone and hybrid systems. This novel AHT-MED system opens up new possibilities for low-temperature heat source-driven thermal desalination with significantly improved performance.

    Indoor air humidity plays a vital role in determining occupants’ health and industrial product quality. Removing excess humidity by adsorption dehumidification is still facing a challenge in finding a suitable material with high adsorption capacity and low regeneration temperature. In this study, the theoretical dehumidification capacity of prepared acorn nutshell-based activated carbons was calculated and compared with silica gel type RD and RD-2060. The calculation was based on the outdoor air condition in two Asian capital cities: Jakarta and Tokyo. The theoretical study found that prepared activated carbon has better dehumidification performance under Jakarta conditions using regeneration temperatures of less than 60°C. Under Tokyo conditions, activated carbon shows auspicious performance during the summer season. Compared with silica gels, acorn nutshell-based activated carbon has a better dehumidification capacity to process high humidity ambient air with a lower regeneration temperature.

    In this study, we evaluated the performance of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant R1234yf on the activated carbon (MSC‐30) for adsorption heating applications. The ad-sorption isotherms of MSC‐30/R1234yf were measured using a constant‐volume–variable‐pressure (CVVP) method from very low relative pressure to the practical operating ranges. The data were fitted with several isotherm models using non‐linear curve fitting. An improved equilibrium model was employed to investigate the influence of dead thermal masses, i.e., the heat exchanger assembly and the non‐adsorbing part of the adsorbent. The model employed the model for the isosteric heat of adsorption where the adsorbed phase volume was accounted for. The performance of the heat pump was compared with MSC‐30/R134a pair using the data from the literature. The analysis cov-ered the desorption temperature ranging from 60 °C to 90 °C, with the evaporation temperature at 5 °C and the adsorption temperature and condensation temperature set to 30 °C. It was observed that the adsorption isotherms of R1234yf on MSC‐30 were relatively lower than those of R134a by approximately 12&#37;. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the selected pair was found to vary from 0.03 to 0.35 depending on the heat source temperature. We demonstrated that due to lower latent heat, MSC‐30/R1234yf pair exhibits slightly lower cycle performance compared to the MSC‐ 30/R134a pair. However, the widespread adaptation of environmentally friendly R1234yf in auto-mobile heat pump systems may call for the implementation of adsorption systems such as the direct hybridization using a single refrigerant. The isotherm and performance data presented in this work will be essential for such applications.

    The vapor–liquid equilibrium properties of R32/R1123 binary refrigerant mixtures were precisely determined. Such mixtures have the potential to provide a reduced global warming potential although data regarding their properties is extremely limited, especially with regard to vapor–liquid equilibrium characteristics such as boiling point and dew point pressures, for which no actual experimental data exist. The present study acquired such data by means of two recirculation type apparatuses located at different universities. One apparatus, which was used to measure data in high temperature region, is installed at Toyama Prefectural University and includes an optical cell and two circulation loops with a thermostatted liquid bath. After thermal equilibration, a part of the sample in both loops is sandwiched between two valves and mixed with helium, following which the compositions are determined using gas chromatograpy. The other apparatus, which was for lower temperature region, at Kyushu University, has a similar design. The vapor–liquid equilibrium data were obtained between 300 and 330 K using the apparatus for high temperatures and from 273 to 313 K using the apparatus for low temperatures. These data were compared with predictions from the Helmholtz-type equation of state and a systematic deviation of approximately 1&#37; was observed at low temperatures. A regression analysis using the binary interaction parameter k for the modified Peng–Robinson equation of state more accurately reproduced the present measurement results. ij

    Adsorption cooling system using composite adsorbent and high energy density adsorbate (CO2) provides a significant advantage to reduce the system geometry. This study presents the adsorption characteristics of CO2 onto synthesized composites employing graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and activated carbon (AC). The influence of GNPs in the composite is investigated in terms of porous properties, thermal conductivity, and CO2 adsorption capacity. The composite 3 (50 wt% AC and 40 wt% H-25) achieves the highest thermal conductivity enhancement which is 23.5 times higher than parent AC powder. The CO2 adsorption uptakes onto different composites are measured gravimetrically at adsorption temperatures 20–70 °C. The measured data are fitted with modified D-A and Tóth models. The specific cooling effect (SCE) and coefficient of performance (COP) are estimated for various driving heat source temperatures and two evaporation temperatures of 5 and 10 °C with a fixed adsorption/condenser temperature of 30 °C. AC-GNPs based composites are found suitable for developing compact adsorption cooling systems.

  • Experimental investigation on the performance of an adsorption system using Maxsorb III + ethanol pair

     More details

    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    The performance of an adsorption system using Maxsorb III + ethanol pair is investigated for practical heat pump applications. An adsorption system using a single bed with a single evaporator/condenser is employed and the performance of the system is assessed for various regeneration temperatures (80 °C, 70 °C and 60 °C). The impact of the adsorption time on the performance of the selected pair is further evaluated. The potential application of the present adsorbent + adsorbate pair is the automobile air-conditioning system where the exhaust waste heat will be recovered to operate the adsorption system. Thus, antifreeze fluid is employed as the heat transfer medium for the adsorber and the evaporator/condenser heat exchanger. A mathematical model is developed to estimate the uptake amount from the experimental data. The sensible heat change (thermal mass), the superheating of the refrigerant in the adsorber, the adsorber heat leak and the heat rejection to the heat transfer medium are accounted for. The uptake amount is further verified using the classical p–T–q diagram. For operation using 30 °C adsorber coolant inlet and 15 °C chilled water inlet, the cooling capacity of the present system ranges from 15 to 35 W for the adsorption times of 600 s and 300 s, respectively. It is observed that the regeneration temperature significantly influences the net uptake of the system. The maximum net uptake is recorded to be about 0.995 kg/kg for the regeneration temperature of 80 °C. The system is further assessed using the ratio of the cooling capacity to the adsorption heat.

    In this study, new composite adsorbent with enhanced thermal conductivity and adsorption capacity was synthesized and analyzed comprehensively for the development of compact CO 2 based adsorption cooling system. The consolidated composite was prepared employing activated carbon, graphene nanoplatelets and hydroxyl cellulose as a parent adsorbent, thermal conductivity enhancer, and binder, respectively. The surface area and pore volume of the composite were found to be 1778 ± 13 m 2 g −1 and 1.014 cm 3 g −1 , respectively. In addition, the composite showed 233% higher thermal conductivity compared to the parent activated carbon. Adsorption characteristics of CO 2 were measured at temperature ranging from 20 to 70 °C and pressures up to 5 MPa. Absolute uptake was evaluated from excess adsorption based on the following two methods: (i) the adsorbed phase volume is equal to the pore volume of the adsorbent; and (ii) the adsorbed phase volume is almost zero under low pressure and/or high temperature conditions. Furthermore, the averaging of above two methods was also taken for avoiding these two extreme assumptions. Obtained absolute adsorption uptake data were fitted with modified Dubinin-Astakhov and Tóth models. Results indicated good approximation between data points and models. The average isosteric heats of adsorption estimated using modified D-A and Tóth model were found to be 19.742 kJ mol −1 and 19.023 kJ mol −1 , respectively. The obtained characteristics of composite adsorbent are prerequisites for designing compact CO 2 based adsorption cooling systems.

    The motivation of the present paper is to synthesis high packing density and thermal conductivity consolidated composite using silica gel powder (SGP) almost without affecting its porous properties. The effect of packing density, binder type and amount on porous properties as well as thermal conductivity were studied. Four types of binder, namely Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and gelatin were chosen. SGP composite with PVP 2 wt% as binder showed better performance for both porous and thermal properties. Thermal conductivity for PVP 2 wt% composite was found 32% higher than SGP. Adsorption uptake of water onto SGP and PVP 2 wt% composite at 30–70 °C adsorption temperatures were measured using gravimetric method. Tóth equation is found suitable to fit the isotherm data. Results showed that there is no change in water adsorption uptake between SGP and PVP 2 wt% composite whereas the volumetric uptake increased by 12.5% for the composite. The studied composites were found to be suitable for designing high performance adsorption cooling systems.

    This study provides the surface characteristics (surface energy and the acid–base properties) of surface treated activated carbons (ACs) using inverse gas chromatography. The surface energy and the acid–base characteristic of studied adsorbents are determined by the retention time using several non-polar and polar probes at 140 °C. It is observed that the dispersive surface energy dominates for all AC samples. The treatment of Maxsorb III with H exhibits the highest basicity due to lower oxygen content on the surface. The presented results express further insights and useful information in functionalizing the activated carbon for various industrial applications. 2

    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Air conditioning approach using two separate units for latent heat and sensible heat removal opens up opportunities and challenges for improved efficiency. In such systems, the dehumidification device removes moisture from the air stream usually without condensation whilst the remaining sensible load is handled by a conventional mechanical vapour compression (MVC) machine. This article investigates the thermodynamic feasibility of such hybrid dehumidifier + MVC systems as potential replacements for the conventional MVC devices. We shed some light on the minimum efficacy requirement in terms of COP or simply the breakeven COP for the coupled dehumidification system. Thermodynamic investigation has been conducted using classical Carnot, endoreversible technique and the experimental approaches. The breakeven COPs for a dehumidifier + MVC system where the latter using HFC-R14a, HFC-R32 and HFO-R1234yf as refrigerants have been investigated at assorted outdoor air ratios. Performance enhancement in terms of COP and the cooling capacity at elevated temperatures for sensible cooling are accounted for. It is observed that the breakeven COP for the dehumidification system ranges from 9 to 17 (Carnot approach) and 4.3 to 6.8 (Ideal cycle) in order to be realistically competitive with the current efficiency offered by a MVC system for the both dehumidification and sensible cooling. The life cycle cost (LCC) analysis is further performed to assess the fresh air-handling systems using a conventional MVC system and a dehumidifier + MVC system. The unprecedented improvement in the performance of the MVC systems further raises the ceiling for the breakeven COP of the dehumidification systems.

    This article discusses a direct approach for assessing irregularly shaped pore distribution of porous materials using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Using the tapping mode, AFM is employed to obtain the surface topographic information of the porous materials commonly used in adsorption applications. Three different types of silica gels, commercially used silica–alumina and acetaminophen samples are investigated using an image processing technique to capture the pore size-related information. Macro and mesopores in a specified region are visualized then quantified and counted using 2-D Fast Fourier Transformation (2D FFT) technique. The results obtained by the AFM technique are then compared with the BET surface area and pore size distribution (NLDFT) extracted from the N2 adsorption isotherms.

     More details

    Language:Others   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    The performance of an adsorption system using Maxsorb III + ethanol pair is investigated for practical heat pump applications. An adsorption system using a single bed with a single evaporator/condenser is employed and the performance of the system is assessed for various regeneration temperatures (80 °C, 70 °C and 60 °C). The impact of the adsorption time on the performance of the selected pair is further evaluated. The potential application of the present adsorbent + adsorbate pair is the automobile air-conditioning system where the exhaust waste heat will be recovered to operate the adsorption system. Thus, antifreeze fluid is employed as the heat transfer medium for the adsorber and the evaporator/condenser heat exchanger. A mathematical model is developed to estimate the uptake amount from the experimental data. The sensible heat change (thermal mass), the superheating of the refrigerant in the adsorber, the adsorber heat leak and the heat rejection to the heat transfer medium are accounted for. The uptake amount is further verified using the classical p–T–q diagram. For operation using 30 °C adsorber coolant inlet and 15 °C chilled water inlet, the cooling capacity of the present system ranges from 15 to 35 W for the adsorption times of 600 s and 300 s, respectively. It is observed that the regeneration temperature significantly influences the net uptake of the system. The maximum net uptake is recorded to be about 0.995 kg/kg for the regeneration temperature of 80 °C. The system is further assessed using the ratio of the cooling capacity to the adsorption heat.

    Water-Energy-Environment nexus is a crucial consideration when designing seawater desalination processes, particularly for the water-stressed countries where the annual water availability is less than 250 m3 per capita. Despite the thermodynamics limit for seawater desalination at normal conditions is about 0.78 to 1.09 kWhelec/m3, the specific energy consumption of desalination of real plants is found to operate at several folds higher. Today’s technological advancement in membranes, namely the reverse osmosis processes, has set an energy consumption of around 3.5–5 kWhelec/m3, while the conventional perception of thermally activated processes such as MSF and MED tends to be higher. Although the higher energetic specific consumption of MED or MSF processes appeared to be higher at 60–100 kWhthermal/m3, their true electricity equivalent has been converted, hitherto, using the energetic analyses where the work potential of working steam of the processes cannot be captured adequately. Thermally activated processes, such as MED and MSF, form the bottoming cycle of a cogeneration plant where both electricity and desalination processes operate in tandem in a cascaded manner. Only the bled-steam at lower exergy is extracted for the desalination processes. In this presentation, we demonstrate that in a cogen plant with 30% bled-steam for MED processes, the exergy destruction ratio is found to be less than 7% of the total available exergy that emanated from the boilers. By the exergetic approach, the equivalent electricity consumption of an average 75 kWhthermal/m3 would result in an electrical equivalent of less than 2.5 kWhelec/m3. Also in this presentation, the authors will elaborate the latest developments in the use of hybridization concept where the MED and the AD cycles are thermodynamically integrated and enhancing the overall efficiency of desalination.

     More details

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Mogok gem corundum samples from twelve localities were analyzed for trace element signatures (LA-ICP-MS method) and oxygen isotope values (δ18O, by laser fluorination). The study augmented earlier findings on Mogok gem suites that suggested the Mogok tract forms a high vanadium gem corundum area and also identified rare alluvial ruby and sapphire grains characterised by unusually high silicon, calcium and gallium, presence of noticeable boron, tin and niobium and very low iron, titanium and magnesium contents. Oxygen isotope values (δ18O) for the ruby and high Si-Ca-Ga corundum (20‰–25‰) and for sapphire (10‰–20‰) indicate typical crustal values, with values >20‰ being typical of carbonate genesis. The high Si-Ca-Ga ruby has high chromium (up to 3.2 wt % Cr) and gallium (up to 0. 08 wt % Ga) compared to most Mogok ruby (<2 wt % Cr; <0.02 wt % Ga). In trace element ratio plots the Si-Ca-Ga-rich corundum falls into separate fields from the typical Mogok metamorphic fields. The high Ga/Mg ratios (46–521) lie well within the magmatic range (>6), and with other features suggest a potential skarn-like, carbonate-related genesis with a high degree of magmatic fluid input The overall trace element results widen the range of different signatures identified within Mogok gem corundum suites and indicate complex genesis. The expanded geochemical platform, related to a variety of metamorphic, metasomatic and magmatic sources, now provides a wider base for geographic typing of Mogok gem corundum suites. It allows more detailed comparisons with suites from other deposits and will assist identification of Mogok gem corundum sources used in jewelry.
