The design of a chemical heat pump (CaC12-NH3) prototype is presented. From theoretical research on the modelling of the heat transfer phenomena and a simulation of the prototype operation, a performance analysis of the components has been accomplished. The difficulties of the heat transfer phenomena's modelling, within the reactor, are discussed. Primary results of experimentation are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
