Dynamic Simulation of Load-Responsive Vapor Compression Refrigeration Systems
Abstract: Because of their dependable operation and effectiveness, vapor compression refrigeration systems, or vapor compression refrigeration (VCRS), have become popular in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. However, under different thermal loads, classic vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) systems may perform less well in that they are usually built for steady-state conditions and run at consistent speeds. In order to improve a load-responsive VCR system’s flexibility, energy efficiency, and response to changing cooling …

Effects of Sub-Zero Temperatures on the Viscoelastic Properties of Magnetorheological Elastomer
Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials capable of tuneable stiffness and damping under applied magnetic fields. This renders the material as a promising candidate for adaptive vibration control and semi-active engineering applications. While their behaviour at elevated temperatures has been widely explored, limited attention has been given to their performance under sub-zero conditions, which are critical for cold-environment applications. As this has become an important concern, the study investigates the …
