Abstract:
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology stands out among other renewable energy sources not only because of its ability to address current energy security and environmental challenges but because its energy can be stored for future use. To ensure optimum performance in this system, the heat losses need to be evaluated for better design. This work studies the natural convection in the receiver absorber tube of a CSP plant taking into consideration the influence of neighboring absorbers. A 2-Dimensional model was adopted in this study. Initially, a single absorber tube was considered, it was subjected to heat flux at the top wall, the bottom wall was insulated and a temperature differential was set up at the lateral walls. The dimensionless forms of Navier-Stokes and energy equations were solved using the finite element formulation of COMSOL Multiphysics software. The result obtained for a single absorber tube showed good agreement with existing research works. This validated model was then extended to multiple absorber tubes (two to six absorber tubes). On the basis of the study, there is an observed increase in the intensity and dominance of convective heat transfer with an increase in the number of absorber tubes. This is occasioned by an increase in the average surface temperature as well as average Nusselt number. For the Rayleigh number of 104, 105 and 106, the average Nusselt number increases with the number of absorber tubes by 13.87 %, 6.26 %, and 1.55 %, respectively. This increment suggests effect of thermal interactions among the neighboring absorber tubes

Abstract:
The crushing response of a laser-welded square tube absorber made of two commercial steel grades, Docol 1000DP and Docol 1200M, is presented in the paper. Crush experiments are performed at two different loading conditions, namely, quasi-static loading at 0.5 mm/s deformation speed and impact loading at 25–28 m/s. A new approach has been proposed to study the square tube absorber under impact loading using a direct impact Hopkinson (DIH) method. To characterize the mechanical properties of the tested steels, tensile quasi-static and high strain rate testing are also performed with the use of specimens with a 7 mm gauge length. The applied strain rates are 10−3, 100, and above 103 s−1. The laser-welded joints are also characterized by microhardness test involving the base material, heat-affected zone, and fusion zone. The crashworthiness of model square tube absorbers is estimated based on the following parameters: absorbed energy, mean force, crushing force efficiency factor, and specific energy absorbed. It has been found that the square tube absorbers made of Docol 1200M steel show a higher potential in mechanical energy absorption capacity than Docol 1000DP absorber. Moreover, crushing tests prove that laser-welded joints in 0.6 mm sheets made of Docol 1000DP and Docol 1200M steels reveal high cracking toughness. In turn, strength testing at different strain rates confirms the higher strain rate sensitivity of Docol 1000DP steel than in the case of Docol 1200M steel as well as an increase in the high ductility properties of both steel grades under the high strain rate loading conditions.

Abstract:
Recently, several publications gave attention to nanofluid based solar absorber systems in which the solar radiation energy is directly absorbed in the volume of the fluid. This idea could provide advantages over conventionally used surface absorbers regarding the optical and thermal efficiency. For the evaluation of this concept, a numerical approach is introduced and validated in this contribution. The results show that the optical efficiency of a volumetric absorber strongly depends on the scattering behavior of the nanofluid and can reach competitive values only if the particle size distribution is narrow and small. If this is achieved, the surface temperature and therefore the heat loss can be lowered significantly. Furthermore, the surface absorber requires very high Reynolds numbers to transfer the absorbed energy into the working fluid and avoid overheating of the absorber tube. This demand of pumping power can be reduced significantly using the concept of volumetric absorption.

Abstract:
A model of a multibody system is established to investigate the dynamic response of an oil tube-shock absorber-perforating gun system in downhole perforation-test joint operation. In the model, the oil tube and perforating gun are modeled as elastic rods and the shock absorber is modeled as single particle system with damping and a spring. Two force continuity conditions are used to simulate the interactions among the three components. The perforation impact load is determined by an experiment of underwater explosion of perforating bullets. Using the model, the effects of charge quantity of perforating bullet, the number of shock absorbers, and the length of oil tube on the dynamic response of oil tube and packer are investigated. On this basis, a basic principle of the combination design of shock absorber and oil tube is proposed to improve the mechanical state of downhole tools. The study results can provide theoretical support for the design of downhole perforation-test joint operation.

Abstract:
Vapour absorption systems are more viable technology option in energy and environmental perspective in cooling and heating applications. Among the four major components of vapour absorption system, the absorber plays a vital role in deciding the performance, size and cost. Horizontal falling film absorbers comparatively contain good heat and mass transfer characteristics than other type of absorbers for working fluids such as water-lithium bromide. Literature shows that experimental approach of performance evaluation of absorber is more realistic and accurate than the theoretical approach. Hence in the present work, a detail experimental study has been done on horizontal tube falling film absorber using water-lithium bromide as a working fluid. The set-up consists of two major components viz. absorber and generator. Absorber contains three columns of tubes, with eight rows in each column. Detailed parametric study has been done by considering influence of spray density, cooling water-flow rate, cooling water temperature and concentration on solution temperatures, cooling water temperatures, inlet and outlet concentrations, heat flux, mass flux, heat transfer coefficient, and mass transfer coefficient with the help of plots. Results have been validated and literature gaps have been discussed.

Abstract:
A general matrix formulation for beam and diffuse radiative solar transfer is presented for an enclosure containing partially transparent walls. The general theory is used to study the absorption of radiant solar energy in a building sunspace having a south-facing window and a row of opaque vertical cylindrical-tube solar absorbers. A two-dimensional model is formulated for the sunspace in which a typical cylindrical absorber tube is subdivided into a number of uniform elements and the window and sunspace surfaces are each represented as single elements. The matrix expressions are evaluated for incident solar flux conditions typical for a south vertical window on a clear winter day. The results are presented as dimensionless ratios of absorbed-to-incident solar flux as a function of the tube spacing to radius ratio. The spatial distribution of absorbed solar flux is presented at discrete time interals for the cylindrical tube. Space and time-averaged values of absorbed solar flux are also presented for the cylinder, the window, and the room. The potential application of these results for thermal modeling in passive solar applications is discussed.

Abstract:
Expansion tube energy absorber is of interest in bumper device on the spacecraft, for example the seat-bumper and its crushing characteristics have shown an excellent performance. This paper contributes to the analysis and investigation of the crushing characteristics of the expansion tube energy absorber, by simulating the response of the 2Al2T4 expansion tube subjected to quasi-static axial compressive loading, using the LS-DYNA finite element code. Corresponding tests were conducted to serve as comparison purpose. Satisfactory level of agreement between simulation and testing results was obtained regarding the main characteristics of the tested expansion tubes such as peak compressive load, energy absorption and the overall compressive response. Formula of the crushing force deduced using plastic mechanic theory was checked. Impact model was also constructed and dynamic simulations were performed to investigate the axial impact response of the expansion tube energy absorber. The simulation results of quasi-static and dynamic compression response of the expansion tube are very similar.

Abstract:
Solar collector absorber tubes play a critical role in converting incident solar heat flux into absorbed thermal energy and transferring it to a heat transfer fluid. In this study a single horizontally orientated absorber tube was investigated numerically in terms of the influence of different circumferential spans of symmetrical and asymmetrical heat flux distributions on buoyancy-driven secondary flow, internal heat transfer and friction factor characteristics. Three types of circumferential heat flux boundaries were considered, namely fully uniform, partial uniform and sinusoidal non-uniform heat flux distributions. Both gravitational symmetry and asymmetry for non-uniform heat flux distributions were investigated to cover symmetry angles in terms of the gravitational field (g) of 0° (symmetrical case), 20°, 30°, 40° and 60°. Different sized stainless steel absorber tubes having a length of 10 m, and inner diameters of 62.7 mm, 52.5 mm, 40.9 mm and 35.1 mm were considered. Three dimensional steady-state simulations were performed for water as working fluid, covering laminar flow Reynolds numbers ranging from 130 to 2200, as well as for turbulent flow Reynolds numbers ranging from 3030 to 202 600. Buoyancy effects, temperature dependent fluid thermal properties, tube-wall heat conduction and the external wall heat losses by convection and radiation were taken into consideration. Average internal heat transfer coefficients, local internal heat transfer coefficients, Richardson numbers and overall friction factors were obtained for different angular spans of incident heat flux, inlet fluid temperatures, heat flux intensities and outer wall thermal conditions Laminar flow results indicated that the angular span, angular position, and intensity of the applied external heat flux all have significant influences on the buoyancy induced mixed convection inside the tube. This resulted in significant variations in the internal heat transfer coefficients and the friction factor which are not well described by classical empirical correlations. Buoyancy induced secondary flow significantly enhanced the internal heat transfer coefficient and significantly increased the friction factor compared to forced convection cases. Higher heat transfer coefficients and friction factors were obtained for non-uniform heat flux distributions compared to uniform heat flux distributions and were found to be dependent on the angle span and position of the heat flux. Higher inlet temperatures resulted in increased Nusselt numbers and lower friction factors, while higher external heat loss resulted in lower Nusselts numbers and lower friction factors. An increase in the asymmetry of the heat flux distribution resulted in a reduction of the Nusselt number and friction factor. Even though turbulent flow cases with a Reynolds number range of approximately 3000 to 9000 were also influenced by buoyancy driven secondary flow, and followed the same parameter trends, it occurred to a lesser extent compared to the laminar flow cases. Turbulent flow cases with Reynolds numbers higher than 9100, exhibited little dependence on secondary flow effects and indicates the suitability of classical fully uniform heat flux heat transfer and friction factor correlations for highly turbulent flow irrespective of the distribution or intensity of the heat flux.

Abstract:
A new way of adhering woven textile to a nonwoven backing was explored, the end product in mind being a sound absorbent panel. Today a hot melt adhesive is sprayed on the nonwoven with woven decorating textile put on top before compression molding. This method results in an uneven layer of adhesive with the consequence of decorating textile detaching from the nonwoven and thereby a high number of discarded products. The report investigates the possibility of using a bicomponent fiber as the adhesive. This would guarantee an even layer of adhesive and make the manufacturing process one step shorter. A bicomponent fiber of core/sheath construction with a low melting polymer in the sheath was incorporated in the nonwoven upon fabrication. In the main bulk of the nonwoven a smaller ratio of bicomponent to normal polyester fiber was used, enough to stabilize the nonwoven. For the top layer of the nonwoven a higher ratio was chosen. As the nonwoven is then compression molded under heat together with the decorating textile, the low melting sheath of the bicomponent fiber will melt and create bonds within the nonwoven as well as to the textile. The ratio in the top layer was varied as well as the pressure in compression molding. The adhesion strength between nonwoven and decorating textile was tested, and the sound absorbing properties of the different manufactured samples were compared. The sound absorbing parameter of air flow resistance was tested and sound absorption was tested using impedance tube with transfer function method. Further, a way of testing transmission loss was developed by the manufacturing of a custom built impedance tube, which was then compared to the transfer function method. The results showed that a higher bicomponent percentage gave higher sound absorption in lower frequencies, but a lower sound absorption in higher frequencies. The thickness of the samples gave a positive effect on the sound absorption in all frequencies. The conclusion is to recommend a thicker material, and choose bicomponent according to which frequencies that should be absorbed and what adhesion strength is needed for end product.

In the absorption-type refrigeration and air conditioning field, lithium bromide solution has been widely used as an absorbent. In addition to inlet absorbent concentration, temperature, flow rate and absorption pressure, the total contact area of the lithium bromide solution with water steam is an important parameter for the performance of the absorber. In this study, we design an array of tilted fins on a horizontal absorber to increase the absorption surface. Also on the external surface of the absorber, we apply a thin-film coating of titanium dioxide (TiO2) to increase its hydrophilicity. The aim of this study is to evaluate experimentally the effects of the tilted fins and TiO2 coating on the absorption performance of the absorber.

Abstract:
Parabolic trough systems are one of the most commercially and technically developed technologies for concentrated solar power. With the current research and development efforts, the cost of electricity from these systems is approaching the cost of electricity from medium-sized coal-fired power plants. Some of the cost-cutting options for parabolic trough systems include: (i) increasing the sizes of the concentrators to improve the system’s concentration ratio and to reduce the number of drives and controls and (ii) improving the system’s optical efficiency. However, the increase in the concentration ratios of these systems requires improved performance of receiver tubes to minimise the absorber tube circumferential temperature difference, receiver thermal loss and entropy generation rates in the receiver. As such, the prediction of the absorber tube’s circumferential temperature difference, receiver thermal performance and entropy generation rates in parabolic trough receivers therefore, becomes very important as concentration ratios increase. In this study, the thermal and thermodynamic performance of parabolic trough receivers at different Reynolds numbers, inlet temperatures and rim angles as concentration ratios increase are investigated. The potential for improved receiver thermal and thermodynamic performance with heat transfer enhancement using wall-detached twisted tape inserts, perforated plate inserts and perforated conical inserts is also evaluated. In this work, the heat transfer, fluid flow and thermodynamic performance of a parabolic trough receiver were analysed numerically by solving the governing equations using a general purpose computational fluid dynamics code. SolTrace, an optical modelling tool that uses Monte-Carlo ray tracing techniques was used to obtain the heat flux profiles on the receiver’s absorber tube. These heat flux profiles were then coupled to the CFD code by means of user-defined functions for the subsequent analysis of the thermal and thermodynamic performance of the receiver. With this approach, actual non-uniform heat flux profiles and actual non-uniform temperature distribution in the receiver different from constant heat flux profiles and constant temperature distribution often used in other studies were obtained. Both thermodynamic and multi-objective optimisation approaches were used to obtain optimal configurations of the proposed heat transfer enhancement techniques. For thermodynamic optimisation, the entropy generation minimisation method was used. Whereas, the multi-objective optimisation approach was implemented in ANSYS DesignXplorer to obtain Pareto solutions for maximum heat transfer and minimum fluid friction for each of the heat transfer enhancement techniques. Results showed that rim angles lower than 60o gave high absorber tube circumferential temperature differences, higher receiver thermal loss and higher entropy generation rates, especially for flow rates lower than 43 m3/h. The entropy generation rates reduced as the inlet temperature increased, increased as the rim angles reduced and as concentration ratios increased. Existence of an optimal Reynolds number at which entropy generation is a minimum for any given inlet temperature, rim angle and concentration ratio is demonstrated. In addition, for the heat transfer enhancement techniques considered, correlations for the Nusselt number and fluid friction were obtained and presented. With heat transfer enhancement, the thermal efficiency of the receiver increased in the range 5% – 10%, 3% – 8% and 1.2% – 8% with twisted tape inserts, perforated conical inserts and perforated plate inserts respectively. Results also show that with heat transfer enhancement, the absorber tube’s circumferential temperature differences reduce in the range 4% – 68%, 3.4 – 56% and up to 67% with twisted tape inserts, perforated conical inserts and perforated plate inserts respectively. Furthermore, the entropy generation rates were reduced by up to 59%, 45% and 53% with twisted tape inserts, perforated conical inserts and perforated plate inserts respectively. Moreover, using multi-objective optimisation, Pareto optimal solutions were obtained and presented for each heat transfer enhancement technique. In summary, results from this study demonstrate that for a parabolic trough system, rim angles, concentration ratios, flow rates and inlet temperatures have a strong influence on the thermal and thermodynamic performance of the parabolic trough receiver. The potential for improved receiver thermal and thermodynamic performance with heat transfer enhancement has also been demonstrated. Overall, this study provides useful knowledge for improved design and efficient operation of parabolic trough systems.

Abstract:
Vitamin B12 is required for the synthesis of fatty acids and myelin and so is crucial for normal neurological function and maintenance of the CNS. In conjunction with folate, it is involved in red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis, and in embryogenesis, it is important for proper neural tube formation and brain development. Maternal intake during pregnancy is important, as only newly absorbed vitamin B12, and not that stored in the maternal liver, is concentrated in the placenta. Despite the active transfer during pregnancy, the vitamin B12 content in the newborn is low, and the infant is dependent on breast milk for ongoing needs. Pregnant and lactating women should ensure that their diet contains sufficient (animal) sources of vitamin B12; those consuming vegan or strict vegetarian diets should either take vitamin B12 supplements or seek foods that have been fortified with vitamin B12.

Abstract:
Reverse engineering has become the one of the most relevant concepts in modern design doctrines. Advances in technology demand shorter lead time in the overall product development stage, especially in the automobile sector. Hence as a study in reverse engineering, the author has reverse engineered a twin tube shock absorber. The process involved the obtaining of subassemblies of the damper mechanism to generate a 3D CAD model of the damper in PTC CREO 2.0. The model was used to conduct static structural and CFD analysis of the same using ANSYS 15.0 Workbench. The data obtained was used as the datum for the design modifications and performance enhancement of the part. It was seen that the design of the piston valve was optimum hence modifications to the base valve were done. Following the generation of the datum, similar analyses were conducted on the modified assemblies. The results were compared to the datum for the selection of the most appropriate design. Four designs are analyzed and compared with the datum and the set with four orifices in the valve disk was found to be optimum.

Abstract:
Monte Carlo radiative transfer analysis is applied to a cylindrical cavity-receiver containing an array of high-temperature tubular absorbers directly exposed to concentrated solar power entering through a spectrally selective window. The cavity walls are assumed either diffusely or specularly reflective. The relative dimensions, the number of tubes, and their position are optimized for maximum energy transfer efficiency or maximum absorber temperature. A single-tube absorber operating at 2000 K performs best when located at 60% relative distance to the cavity’s aperture. Higher absorber temperatures are attained for a specularly reflective cavity that serves as internal infrared mirror, but at the expense of lower energy transfer efficiencies. In contrast, diffuse reflecting cavity walls promote a more uniform temperature distribution around the tubular absorber. Decreasing the window-to-cavity areas ratio further results in an increase of the absorber temperature, which peaks for an optimum absorber-to-cavity radii ratio. This optimum ratio shifts to lower values for multiple-tube absorbers. However, the average absorber temperature is not significantly affected by using multiple-tube absorbers of constant total cross sectional area.

Abstract:
Landing gear is the one of the key components for improving aircraft crashworthiness because its primary function is the energy absorption. But, in general, the shock absorbers are designed to have best efficiency for normal landing cases and can be ineffective when faced with very high sink speed. Thus special design and implementation are necessary for landing gear to have crashworthiness. For this purpose, various concepts have been studied and put to practical use such as structural pin, pressure relief valve and additional energy absorbing devices, etc. In this paper, the composite tube is investigated as an extra energy absorber and adopted to landing gear to increase shock absorbing performance in case of crash. To do this, first the quasi-static and impact test of composite tubes are conducted and the analysis model is tuned to explain the test results. During the correlation process, the failure modes and the specific energy absorption of the composite tubes are analyzed and the optimal configurations are searched. The overall performance of landing gear including the composite tube is analyzed by developing a simplified dynamic model. Each force-stroke relation of oleo-pneumatic shock absorber, tire and composite tube are modeled as spring and damper, then the equation of motion is solved to obtain the crash responses. In this model, after the bottoming of shock absorber, the crushing of composite tube is activated for additional energy absorption. Numerical solutions show that the enhanced shock absorbing capability in case of crash when the composite tube adopted. For practical use, the landing gear performance should be verified by drop tests and this is author’s future research project.

Abstract:
The Molten-Salt Tubular Absorber/Reformer (MoSTAR) Project, which is jointly conducted by Niigata University, Japan, and Inha University, Korea, aims to develop a novel-type of “double-walled” tubular absorbers/reformers with molten-salt thermal storage at high temperature for use in solar natural-gas reforming and solar air receiver, and to demonstrate their performances on sun with a 5-kWt dish-type solar concentrator. The new concept of “double-walled” reactor tubes was proposed for use in a solar reformer by Niigata University, Japan, and involves packing a molten salt in the annular region between the internal catalyst tube and the exterior solar absorber tube of the double reactor tube. In this work, “metal-plate-bridged” double reactor tubes are newly proposed for use in a solar reformer. Two different sized reactor tubes are constructed, and tested on chemical reaction performance for dry reforming of methane during cooling or heat-discharge mode of the reactor tube using an electric furnace. The experimental results obtained under feed gas mixture of CH4/CO2 = 1:3 at a residence time of 0.36 s and at 1 atm showed that the double reactor tube with the heat storage medium Na2CO3 in the annular region successfully sustained a high methane conversion above 90% with about 0.7-kW output power of the reformed gas based on HHV for 40 min of the heat-discharge mode. The application of the new reactor tubes to solar tubular reformers is expected to help realize stable operation of the solar reforming process under fluctuating insolation during a cloud passage.

Abstract:
One of the most important components of an absorption air-conditioning/heat pump system is the absorber, where the refrigerant water vapour is absorbed into the liquid solution. While absorption systems have been in use for several years, the complex transport phenomena occurring in the absorber are not fully elucidated yet. Thus, an attempt is made to model the absorption process of water vapour in aqueous solutions of lithium bromide considering a falling-film, vertical-tube absorber. The proposed analysis is based on the formulation of four differential equations describing the spatial variation (parallel to the tube-axis) of solution mass, temperature, mass fraction and coolant temperature. The system of ordinary differential equations is numerically solved using a non-stiff numerical method. Thermophysical properties and especially, heat and mass transfer coefficients are calculated using widely-accepted and reliable relationships, which are extracted from the literature using recently published information on wavy-laminar flows. In the present study, the questionable assumption of treating the water vapour as an ideal gas is heavily modified utilizing. Consequently, the hypothesis of saturated water vapour at the steam-solution interaction surface is revised by introducing an energy difference between the superheated steam and the liquid water within the binary solution. The last correction encouraged us to compare theoretical results for solution temperature, mass fraction and mass flow rate, which were obtained using both assumptions. It was proved that the initial treatment causes an underestimation of the absorbed steam mass and correspondingly, an underestimation of solution temperature and mass fraction at the mass exchange interface. An attempt is made also to identify the effect of mass transfer coefficient on the effectiveness of the absorption process and on the energy differences between the superheated steam and the liquid water either as pure substance or as component of the binary mixture. It was shown that the increase of mass transfer coefficient leads to an increase of steam mass transfer rate and to a corresponding decrease of solution temperature slope at the entrance of a tube. Correspondingly, the increase of mass transfer coefficient results in an increase of heat of absorption and heat of dilution at the same variation range of the solution mass fraction.

Abstract:
Crash energy absorbers in the form of thin walled tubes play a significant role in mitigating the harmful effects of frontal vehicles accidents on occupants. Specific energy absorbed (SEA), which is the ratio of impact energy absorbed to mass, is usually used to evaluate the efficiency of crash energy absorbers. A good design of a crash energy absorber must maximize the amount of impact energy that can be absorbed with a certain weight. The formal approach that has been used to improve the design of crash energy absorbers is to employ optimization to search for the optimum thickness distribution that maximizes SEA. This approach can be conceptualized as searching the design space in only one dimension (thickness). In this paper, a new dimension is added to the design space (material type). The proposed approach considers the type of material as a variable. An optimum design is then found by not only searching for the optimum thickness distribution, but also by selecting the optimum material type. The approach is demonstrated to the design improvement of a crash energy absorber in the form of a thin walled tube of square cross section. Steel and magnesium have been used as the two material alternatives. Magnesium has been selected due to its low density that had made it a promising candidate for use as a structural material in the automobile manufacturing. The results have shown that following the proposed technique, SEA has been increased by 54% compared to the value obtained through following the formal design optimization approach.

Abstract:
In this work, a computational study on four different types of helically grooved absorber tubes namely, semi-circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, and triangular has been carried out for their possible application in parabolic trough solar collector. In order to conduct the work, absorber tube of 2 m length with 19 mm inner and 25 mm outer diameter is selected. Flow velocities have been calculated by fixing the Reynolds number of the flow as 4000 i.e., turbulent flow. A constant heat flux of 818.5 W/m2 is provided at the lower surface of the absorber tube, facing the reflector. The simulation is performed using the finite volume based tool ANSYS FLUENT 17.1. The standard k-ε RNG turbulence model is used for simulation. The values of friction factors for semi-circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, and triangular absorber tube are 0.0511, 0.0889, 0.0929, and 0.0352, respectively. Nusselt numbers for these tubes are calculated as 68.91, 65.69, 72.05, and 85.49. Hence, it can be concluded from the present study that the thermal performance of the absorber tube with triangular groove is superior to the other groove types. The pressure drop for the same tube is also lowest.

Abstract:
An experimental investigation of heat and mass transfer in a falling-film absorber with microchannel tube arrays was conducted. Liquid ammonia-water solution flows in a falling-film mode around an array of small diameter coolant tubes, while vapor flows upward through the tube array counter-current to the falling film. This absorber was installed in a test facility consisting of all components of a functional single-effect absorption chiller, including a desorber, rectifier, condenser, evaporator, solution heat exchanger, and refrigerant pre-cooler, to obtain realistic operating conditions at the absorber and to account for the influence of the other components in the system. Unlike studies in the literature on bench-top, single-component, single-pressure test stands, here the experiments were conducted on the absorber at vapor, solution, and coupling fluid conditions representative of space-conditioning systems in the heating and cooling modes. Absorption measurements were taken over a wide range of solution flow rates, concentrations, and coupling fluid temperatures, which simulated operation of thermally activated absorption systems at different cooling capacities and ambient conditions. These measurements are used to interpret the effects of solution and vapor flow rates, concentrations, and coupling fluid conditions on the respective heat and mass transfer coefficients.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the relationship of energy absorption between individual tube and nested tubes system in order to provide an equivalent design method for engineers. Firstly, both analytical and numerical methods were presented to analyze single tube under lateral point-loading compression, and the influences of material model and tube dimensions on energy absorption was studied. Secondly, an energy absorption system consisted of nested tubes was equivalently modeled by the combination of single tube in parallels or/and in series, and the resultant deformation and energy absorption were derived analytically by the present method. Several typical examples were verified numerically. It also discussed the relationship between structural effectiveness and solidity ratio for tube system and its components. Finally, a nested tubes system was optimized based on the requirements of installation space, crush distance and energy absorption capability.
