Antibiotics are playing crucial role in the treatment of humans since the last few centuries. Their usage has several benefits along with side effects. The efficacy of antibiotics for the treatment of ailments may be retained by controlling the drug dosage. This may be achieved with supercritical fluid technology (SFT). The antibiotic drug solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is available only at specific temperature and pressure conditions, for effective utilization of SFT, solubility at various conditions are required. Equation of state (EoS) method is used for solubility data modeling and it requires critical properties of the solute, molar volume of the solute and sublimation pressure of the solute along with fugacity coefficient, pressure and temperature. These properties are estimated using group contribution methods. For antibiotics solute critical properties, molar volume and sublimation pressure are unavailable and existing group contribution methods are also not applicable due to the lack of functional group contributions in their techniques. Thus, there is a need to address EoS methodology without using solute properties. Hence, a new EoS methodology for solubility modeling is, proposed without using critical properties of the solute, molar volume of the solute and vapour pressure of the solute. Thus, this study focuses on the development of new solubility model that correlates antibiotics using equation of state (EoS). Importantly, the proposed solubility model does not use the critical properties of the antibiotics. Correlating ability of the proposed model is indicated in terms of regression coefficient and arithmetic average relative deviation percentage (AARD %).
自过去几个世纪以来,抗生素在人类治疗中发挥着至关重要的作用。使用抗生素有多种好处,同时也有副作用。通过控制药物剂量,可以保持抗生素治疗疾病的疗效。这可以通过超临界流体技术(SFT)来实现。抗生素药物在超临界二氧化碳(scCO2)中的溶解度只能在特定的温度和压力条件下获得,因此要有效利用超临界流体技术,需要在各种条件下获得溶解度。状态方程(EoS)法用于溶解度数据建模,它需要溶质的临界特性、溶质的摩尔体积和溶质的升华压力以及逸度系数、压力和温度。这些属性可通过群体贡献法进行估算。抗生素溶质的临界特性、摩尔体积和升华压无法获得,现有的群贡献方法也因其技术中缺乏官能团贡献而不适用。因此,有必要在不使用溶质特性的情况下解决 EoS 方法问题。因此,我们提出了一种不使用溶质临界特性、溶质摩尔体积和溶质蒸汽压的溶解度建模新 EoS 方法。因此,本研究的重点是利用状态方程(EoS)建立与抗生素相关的新溶解度模型。重要的是,所提出的溶解度模型不使用抗生素的临界特性。所提模型的相关能力体现在回归系数和算术平均相对偏差百分比(AARD %)上。

The search for environmentally friendly refrigerants for vapor compression systems has been a significant focus recently due to environmental concerns such as ozone depletion and global warming. In this study, the potential of R1224yd as an alternative refrigerant is investigated. A thermodynamic analysis of a 4-kW air conditioning system is conducted to assess the performance of R1224yd. The system is analyzed from a thermodynamic perspective, and key performance indicators such as the Coefficient of Performance and exergy efficiency. The results are then compared to R245fa and R123. Furthermore, a parametric study is performed to examine the impact of key parameters, such as evaporating and condensing temperatures, on the system's performance. This analysis provides insights into the sensitivity of the system's performance to variations in these parameters. The results indicate that R1224yd is a promising candidate as an environmentally friendly alternative refrigerant compared to R123 and R245fa. Because R1224yd has the lowest environmental impact. It has about 700 kg CO2 indirect emission, but about zero kgCO2 for direct emission. While, based on the thermodynamic results, R1224yd offers better performance compared to R245fa which has 1-3% higher in performance value and exergy efficiency, and has comparable performance to R123. This suggests that R1224yd can be a viable option for the systems, providing improved energy efficiency and lower environmental impact.

A phase change material (PCM) is an organic (or inorganic) chemical that may store and release thermal energy in latent form as it changes physical states. This investigation aims to see how phase transition materials influence the thermal efficiency of the solar dryer. For the performance analysis, three PCMs were used: paraffin wax, lauric acid, and palmitic acid. As drying material, 5 mm thick potato slices were employed. According to the computational results, the total input thermal energy for the dryer for paraffin wax, lauric acid, and palmitic acid was about 17.36 MJ, 18.46 MJ, and 17.76 MJ, respectively, for 2 kg drying mass. When paraffin wax, lauric acid, and palmitic acid were utilized, the overall efficiency of the dryer increased by about 87%, 40.2%, and 12.4%, respectively, compared to the conventional dryer. By comparing the results of simulations and predictions, it is concluded that paraffin wax is the best-performing PCM for solar dryers as the energy storage material.

The assessment of gas behavior in chemical engineering systems necessitates a profound understanding of thermodynamic principles that govern the interactions among the components within a given system. To this end, the deviation from ideality in a single gas or gas mixture is associated with the disparity between the actual behavior of the gas or gas mixture and the behavior anticipated by the ideal gas model. This study is aimed at scrutinizing the deviation from ideal behavior in a gas mixture composed of CH4 and CO2. The analysis employs the cubic equations of state: Van Der Waals, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, and generalized Virial equations, truncated to the third term. These equations are widely recognized for their utility in characterizing substance behavior under specific thermodynamic conditions. The investigation involves an evaluation of the mixture's behavior by assessing variations in the compressibility factor concerning pressure, volume, and pressure, using a thermodynamic calculator at 296.15 K and 15 bar. The findings of this study reveal the prevalence of attractive intermolecular forces at higher pressures and repulsive interactions at lower pressures. An analogous examination of the effect of altering the composition of CH4 was undertaken using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation, which incorporates parameters allowing for an evaluation of the impact of molecule size and intermolecular interactions within the mixture. Furthermore, experimental data were employed to validate the results obtained in this study. Consequently, it can be inferred that these equations provide insight into the influence of pressure on molecular interaction forces, encompassing repulsive and attractive forces, which in turn can define the new volume of a real system. Thus, based on the corroboration established herein, these equations demonstrate a high degree of consistency and applicability, thereby expanding the realm of thermodynamic inquiry.

Experimental setup of the integrated parabolic trough collector (PTC) with solar still was developed. PTC was designed considering the solar geometry and the physical laws of parabolic shape and the concentrators. Test were conducted at the location with latitude 19.9975ON and longitude 73.7898OE. Theoretical analysis was done using ray tracing and engineering equation solver (EES) software while designing the system. PTC system was developed with dimensions of 1.5 m length, 1 m width and a concentration ratio (CR) of 21.22. Theoretical thermal efficiency was predicted as 48.1% whereas experimental average thermal efficiency is observed as 42.76%. The observed temperature difference between the vapor and the glass cover is about 17 °C and between ambient air and vapor is about 24.4 °C. Maximum water temperature in the conventional solar still was 64.6 °C where as for the PTC coupled solar still was 74.4 °C. PTC coupled solar still is having averagely 37% higher production rate. This has definitely added an advantage because of the higher energy absorption rate compared with the conventional solar still. PTC coupled solar still system has nearly 35% more heat absorption. Total embodied energy of the system is around 896.875 kWh. Total capital cost of the system is Rs. 41300/-. Total annual output of pure water is around 3 L/Day. Estimated energy payback period is around 2.29 years and the total carbon credit earned is Rs. 2165.38 per year.

The pressure effect is investigated regarding the solid – liquid equilibria (SLE) in n-alkanes. Using the Landau phenomenological model, the pressure dependences of the thermodynamic functions are predicted and the phase diagrams are constructed for the solid – liquid transitions in the binary mixtures of n-alkanes. The experimental data from the literature are used for the phase diagrams in the mixtures.
Our fits for the phase diagrams are reasonably good. Regarding the cubic dependence of the concentration (T-X, P-X) and the linear dependence of the pressure (P-T) on the temperature, our results show that the n-tridecane is distinguished from the other mixtures due to its lowest freezing temperature (T_1=291.08 K) and correspondingly higher concentration (x_1=0.1982). It is found that the divergence behaviour of the heat capacity (C) with the critical exponent 1⁄2 from the extended mean field model is in particular more apparent at the room temperature (293.15 K) at various pressures for the solid – liquid transition. This is accompanied with the pressure dependences of the order parameter, susceptibility, entropy and enthalpy for those mixtures as studied here.

The goal of the current study is to estimate how a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine's performance and emissions are affected by the fuel injector nozzle diameter and hole number of its injectors. A thermodynamic mathematical modelling has been created utilizing a software program written in the MATLAB language to simulate the two-zone combustion process of a four-stroke direct injection engine running on gasoline at (Rotation Engine Speed 3000 revolution per minute (rpm), 40 MPa injection pressure, compression ratio 9.5, and spark timing 145°). The first law of thermodynamics, equation of energy, mass conserving, equation of state, and mass fraction burned were all used in the creation of the software program. The study was carried out at five different nozzle diameters (0.250, 0.350, 0.450, 0.550, and 0.650 mm) and nozzle hole numbers (4,6,8,10,12). The results show that the GDI engine's performance and emissions are significantly influenced by variations in nozzle hole diameter and number. It was shown that engine power, heat transfer, cylinder pressure, and temperature increased with increasing nozzle hole diameter and number of nozzle holes and the maximum value was seen with nozzle hole diameter 0.650 mm and (12) holes. The lowest value for the nozzle hole diameter and number of holes was found to be 0.250 mm and 4 nozzle holes, which resulted in the lowest emissions of carbon monoxide CO and nitrogen monoxide NO. The study was also conducted for different operating conditions (Rotation Engine speed of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 rpm ,35 MPa injection pressure , compression ratio of 11.5 , and spark timing of 140° ) and the same nozzle diameters and nozzle holes number mentioned previously to estimate the maximum values for temperature, pressure, power , heat transfer and emissions . The results of the second part of the study showed that the highest of maximum values of temperature, pressure, and emissions were at of 1000 rpm, a nozzle diameter of 0.650 mm, and (12) holes. The highest values for maximum power at 4000 rpm, a nozzle diameter of 0.650 mm and (12) holes, while the highest maximum values for heat transfer are at 5000 rpm, a diameter of 0.65mm and (12) holes.

The energy and exergy evaluation of simple gas turbine (SGT), gas turbine with air bottoming cycle (GT-ABC), and partial oxidation gas turbine (POGT) are studied. The governing equations for each cycle are solved using energy equation Solver (EES) software. The characteristics performance for selected cycles are discussed and verified with that obtained for available practical cycles (SGT, GT-ABC, POGT). The present results show a good agreement with the practical one. The effects of significant operational parameters, turbine inlet temperature (TIT), compression ratio (CR), and compressor inlet temperature (CIT), on the specific fuel consumption, energy and exergy efficiencies are discussed. According to the findings, a reduction in CIT and a rise in TIT and CR led to enhance energy and exergy efficiency for each configuration with different ranges. Results revealed that the GT-ABC and POGT cycles are more efficient than those of SGT at the same operational parameters. The energy and exergy efficiencies are 38.4%, 36.2% for SGT, 40%, 37.8 % for GT-ABC, and 41.6%, 39.3% for POGT. The POGT cycle has a better energy and exergy performance at a lower pressure ratio than the SGT and GT-ABC.
