In recent years different equations of state for environmentally friendly refrigerants have been developed from different sources of experimental data which, in many cases, use a very large number of auxiliary functions and coefficients. A rather interesting equation that has not been recollected lately, proposed by Wilsak and Thodos in 1985, appears to have a convenient form for effective and significantly accurate calculations of the thermophysical properties of substances. Wilsak-Thodos equation of state presents a relatively simple form as it correlates experimental data with the corresponding ones at saturation and contains only three density dependent functions. For this reason, this study attempts to identify the coefficients of the equation approximating accurately the experimental data and attributing in an integrated manner with auxiliary equations for some of the most common of the environmental friendly refrigerants.

Vapour � liquid equilibrium, thermodynamic and volumetric properties were predicted for three pure hydrofluorocarbons: difluoromethane (R32), pentafluoroethane (R125) and 1,1,1,2 � tetrafluoroethane (R134a) as well as for binary and ternary mixtures of these refrigerants. Three cubic equations of state GEOS3C, SRK (Soave � Redlich � Kwong) and PR (Peng � Robinson) were used. A wide comparison with literature experimental data was made. For the refrigerant mixtures, classical van der Waals mixing rules without interaction parameters were used. The GEOS3C equation, with three parameters estimated by matching several points on the saturation curve (vapor pressure and corresponding liquid volumes), compares favorably to other equations in literature, being simple enough for applications.

Historically, the development of equations of state for fluids has almost invariably followed the lead of the van der Waals (vdW) equation which includes an attraction term and a repulsion term. In this paper, using a simple statistical mechanics model, we introduce a parameter σ as both the power and a coefficient of the packing fraction y which locates at the numerator of the vdW attraction term. Then nine equations of state are constructed to solve the critical conditions and the main thermodynamic properties of pure substances at liquid-vapor equilibrium. As a result, the correct critical compressibility factors of Nitrogen, Argon, Carbon dioxide, Ethene, Methane, Oxygen, Propene, Water and Hydrogen, are obtained with an optimal choice of parameter σ. Good predictions of these equations to the liquid-vapor equilibrium properties below critical temperature are reported and compared with experimental data.

This paper presents an overview of the use of low or mini-fin tubes for improving heat-transfer performance in shell-side condensers. The paper concentrates on, but is not limited to, the experimental and theoretical program in progress at Queen Mary, University of London. This work has so far resulted in an extensive data base of experimental data for condensation on single tubes, covering a wide range of tube geometries and fluid thermophysical properties and in the development of a simple to use model which predicts the majority of this data to within 20%. Work is progressing on the effects of vapor shear and on three-dimensional fin profiles; the later having shown the potential for even higher heat-transfer enhancement.

Heat transfer to supercritical water (at 3400 psia in the pseudocritical region) by stable laminar free convection from an isothermal, vertical flat plate was analytically investigated. The actual variations with temperature of all or some of the thermophysical properties of supercritical water were taken into consideration. Fair agreement was found between the analytical values of this paper and existing experimental data.

We investigate collisions of 16 O with 208 Pb at a bombarding energy of 200 GeV /N in the lab frame. Our basis is an ideal, one-fluid 3-D hydrodynamics model. Several equations of state are used to study the qualitative relation between final baryon rapidity distributions and the stiffness of the EOS. We find that 75% of the baryonic matter lies within one unit of the initial target rapidity, in qualitative agreement with recent experimental data. In addition, our calculation is able to reproduce the integrated value of the dET/dy distribution that is observed experimentally.

In this work, the solubilities of some anti-inflammatory (nabumetone, phenylbutazone and salicylamide) and statin drugs (fluvastatin, atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin) were correlated using the Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) with one-parameter mixing rule and commonly used cubic equations of state Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) combining with van-der Waals-1 parameter (VDW1) and van-der Waals-2 parameters (VDW2) mixing rules. The experimental data for studied compounds were taken from literature at temperature and pressure in ranges (308-348 K) and (100-360 bar) respectively. The critical properties required for the correlation with PR and SRK were estimated using Gani and Noonalol contribution group methods whereas, PC-SAFT pure-component parameters; segment number (m), segment diameter (?) and energy parameter (?/k) have been estimated by tihic?s group contribution method for nabumetone. For phenylbutazone and salicylamide those parameters were determined using a linear correlation. For statin drugs, PC-SAFT parameters were fitted to solubility data, and binary interaction parameters (kij and lij) have been obtained by fitting the experimental data. The result was found to be in good agreement with the experimental data and showed that PC-SAFT approach can be used to model solid-SCF equilibrium with better correlation accuracy than cubic equations of state.

Gas-dynamic characteristics of the compressor make it possible to evaluate its energy and economic properties, to predict the values of capacity, the generated gas pressure and the power consumption during the compressor operation. For more in-depth consideration of the compressor, it is desirable to have the characteristics of its individual stages. The element-by-element analysis of the characteristics of each stage makes it possible to improve the coordination of the operation of the individual elements with each other and thereby improve the gas-dynamic characteristics of the compressor. The loss factor and the static pressure recovery factor can be used as the values characterizing the properties of the individual elements of the stage. Coefficients are suitable for evaluating the energy properties of any element of the stage. To assess the effect of the element in question on the economy of the stage, it is necessary to establish what proportion of the work required for compression is the "loss" of energy in a given element, i.e. find the reduction in efficiency stage due to dissipation of energy into heat in this element. Calculation of performance of the centrifugal compressor is performed from the inlet to the outlet using the equations of state, of process, of continuity and conservation of energy. The initial data are geometric parameters of the compressor, the composition and the initial parameters of compressed gas, the rotational speed of the rotor. The basis of the elementwise calculation of gas-dynamic characteristics is the gas-dynamic characteristics of the stage elements. The calculation can be performed using the characteristics of the stage elements taken from the own bank of experimental data or using the generalized characteristics of the stage elements. To obtain generalized characteristics of the impeller, blade and no-blade diffusers, reverse guide vanes, experimental data were used, published in the works of Galerkin, Den, Rees, Seleznev and others, as well as experimental data obtained by the author. The generalized characteristics are obtained in the form of analytical dependences of the loss coefficients on the angles of attack or flow angles by approximation of experimental data. These dependences were used to analyze the gas-dynamic characteristics of a centrifugal compressor, which made it possible to develop recommendations for their improvement.

The present study develops a deep learning method for predicting the boiling heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of nanoporous coated surfaces. Nanoporous coated surfaces have been used extensively over the years to improve the performance of the boiling process. Despite the large amount of experimental data on pool boiling of coated nanoporous surfaces, precise mathematical-empirical approaches have not been developed to estimate the HTC. The proposed method is able to cope with the complex nature of the boiling of nanoporous surfaces with different working fluids with completely different thermophysical properties. The proposed deep learning method is applicable to a wide variety of substrates and coating materials manufactured by various manufacturing processes. The analysis of the correlation matrix confirms that the pore diameter, the thermal conductivity of the substrate, the heat flow, and the thermophysical properties of the working fluids are the most important independent variable parameters estimation under consideration. Several deep neural networks are designed and evaluated to find the optimized model with respect to its prediction accuracy using experimental data (1042 points). The best model could assess the HTC with an R2 = 0.998 and (mean absolute error) MAE% = 1.94.
