The NIST REFPROP software program is a powerful tool for calculating thermophysical
properties of industrially important fluids, and this manuscript describes the models …

HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons) are one of the most widely used refrigerants worldwide. But,
HFCs are heading towards complete phase out in the near future due to environmental …

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), one of the most used working fluids in HVAC&R and ORC
applications, are being phased down rapidly because of their high global warming potential …

In the present work, a large number of compounds described in the publicly available
literature have been reviewed with the aim to identify possible substitutes for high-GWP …

In the recent era of development, energy consumption increased many folds. While tapping
this energy from various resources, almost half of this energy is dumped back into the …

We present here a novel integrated approach employing machine learning algorithms for
predicting thermophysical properties of fluids. The approach allows obtaining molecular …

Despite decades of research on promoting the dropwise condensation of steam, achieving
dropwise condensation of low surface tension liquids remains a challenge. The few coatings …

In the last decades, the industry of HVAC&R has faced continuous changes trying to identify
environmentally friendly refrigerants for the numerous applications of the sector. However …

The use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as an alternative for refrigeration units has grown
over the past decades as a replacement to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), banned by the …

The corrugation channels of plate heat exchangers enhance the heat transfer and
complicate the prediction of heat transfer coefficients and frictional pressure drop. This paper …
