Description
Nanorefrigerants: Principles, Preparation and Performance Enhancement in Vapour Compression Refrigeration Systems The growing demand for efficient and environmentally conscious refrigeration has encouraged the exploration of advanced materials and heat-transfer technologies. Nanorefrigerants introduces the application of nanotechnology to vapour compression refrigeration, with particular emphasis on SiO₂ nanoparticles and nanolubricants used with R-134a. The book presents the fundamentals of refrigeration, environmental concerns associated with conventional refrigerants, properties of nanofluids and nanorefrigerants, and the components and operation of vapour compression refrigeration systems. It also describes the preparation and experimental investigation of SiO₂ nanolubricants at different concentrations and examines parameters including suction pressure, discharge pressure, coefficient of performance, refrigeration effect, power consumption, and pressure ratio. Designed for students, researchers, and engineers, this book provides a practical introduction to nanoparticle-assisted refrigeration and experimental approaches for evaluating system performance.
