Refrigeration and air conditioning
The text begins by reviewing, in a simple and precise manner, the physical principles of three pillars of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, namely thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. Following an overview of the history of refrigeration, subsequent chapters pro…
A concise, systematic treatment of essential theories and practical aspects of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. The book is designed for students pursuing courses in mechanical engineering with a view to equipping them with the fundamentals of the methodologies used f…
Green buildings have become common in India and other countries in Asia. However, there is a concern regarding the performance of green buildings failing to meet the expectations of clients during the operation. One of the key reasons for this is poorly commissioned HVAC systems…
Solar DEC (Desiccant and Evaporative Cooling) air-conditioning is a renewable technological approach to the future air-conditioning of buildings driven with solar-thermal heat. The principal acceptance of solar airconditioning has led to system prototypes mainly across Europe, h…
Microencapsulated phase change material (mPCM) slurries have been used as the working fluids for enhancement of convective heat transfer, thermal energy storage and thermal energy transport due to their high latent heat and almost constant temperature during the change of phase …
