  • Analysis of ice formation with flow reversal for application to an ice-maker heat pump

    Creator:
    Aceves, Salvador M.
    Abstract:
    The problems of freezing and melting present special mathematical complexity and, except for the most elementary one-dimensional cases, require a numerical solution. However, these problems have a growing importance in engineering problems because of their application to metallurgical operations, food preservation, heating and air conditioning, etc. In the present work,...

  • Evaporator analysis for application to water-source and ice-maker heat pumps

    Creator:
    Aceves, Salvador M.
    Abstract:
    Water-source and ice-maker heat pumps share many characteristics. However, each presents different technical difficulties that have prevented them from being used more widely. In a water-source heat pump a very important consideration is to reduce water consumption, while in an ice-maker heat pump a major concern is to reduce the...
