The design of an e-waste collection policy is challenging, especially for a country like India, where the economy is a developing state, and there is a large diversity in socio-economic factors. The e-waste collection ...

In this work the annual and economic performance of a transcritical R744 booster supermarket refrigeration system integrated with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) was investigated. The results were compared to those of a ...

In this paper we present a comprehensive assessment of benefits from adoption of suitable natural refrigerants at various stages of seafood cold chain in Indian scenario. This includes cooling demands during fish harvesting, ...

Fluid flow characteristics of CO2, as a refrigerant in a scroll work recovery expander is investigated using CFD approach. A 2D simulation is carried out, adopting dynamic mesh in Ansys environment (FLUENT) and turbulent ...

In the current work, we perform numerical simulations of the phase change process of Carbon Dioxide inside three different converging diverging nozzles, the experimental data on which is available in open literature. The ...

Three novel CO2-NH3 multi-evaporator cascade refrigeration systems (CRS) are proposed and evaluated for application in seafood processing for high ambient. The CRSs have evaporators both above and below the cascade temperature ...

The world is conscious about contribution to global warming from refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. A search is ongoing for energy-efficient refrigeration systems and environment-friendly refrigerants. Cascade ...

In a seafood processing plant, refrigeration is a vital and energy intensive process. In India, NH3 is predominately used to cater to such refrigeration demands. These industrial refrigeration systems have the multi-evaporator ...

In the current work, we simulate the condensation of supercritical CO2 during its high speed flow inside two different converging-diverging nozzles. We use the homogeneous equilibrium method and the classical nucleation ...

This paper discusses design of an autonomous rope climbing robot for identified industrial applications. Modified design goals are drawn up after analyzing the same from prior publications. A modular design with wheel based ...
