Proceedings Of The Asme Advanced Energy Systems Division

The Division sponsored three symposia at the Congress, on direct thermal power conversion and thermal management; thermodynamics and the design, analysis, and improvement of energy systems; and heat-pump and refrigeration systems: design, analysis, and application. Together they generated 58 papers,

Proceedings of the November 1996 congress. After a brief overview of advances in microenergy systems, a section on heat pump and refrigeration systems looks at areas such as heat pump and refrigeration cycles and working media, emerging technologies, and fluid mechanics and heat transfer in positive
