    Cooling and Multiphase Analysis of Heated Environmentally Friendly R152A (C2H4F2) Fluid Coming from the Production Process According to Nist Indicators

    Cooling processes are responsible for a significant portion (20%) of global energy consumption and raise environmental concerns such as ozone depletion, the greenhouse effect, and high energy use. This study investigates the potential of R152a, a refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP), as a more sustainable alternative. The performance, safety, and operational efficiency of R152a were evaluated under various conditions. Although R152a offers high performance and low GWP, its flammability necessitates caution, especially in certain mixtures. A 12-pass tube-type heat exchanger model was simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the fluid behavior within the exchanger. The pressure, density, dynamic pressure, Prandtl number, total pressure, and temperature distributions for both R152a and H2O (water) were visualized using contour plots. The simulations comprehensively examined the fluid behavior inside and outside the heat exchanger. The results revealed the influence of the temperature on the internal dynamic pressure and density of R152a. Compared with R134a, R152a demonstrated superior performance but a lower coefficient of performance (COP) than R32. Studies also suggest that R152a exhibits lower irreversibility in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems than R245fa. These findings suggest that R152a holds promise for future refrigeration systems, as supported by existing research on its performance and compatibility. One study focused on optimizing the heat exchanger performance by maximizing the heat capacity and minimizing the pressure drop. This study employed a parallel-flow heat exchanger with R152a as the coolant for the hot process water. The temperature changes, pressure drops, and resulting energy efficiency and thermal performance of both fluids were analyzed. The results highlight the distinct energy efficiencies and thermal performance of the employed fluids.

    A review of mechanical and thermal properties of products printed with recycled filaments for use in 3d printers
    (2022-02-01) ATAKÖK, GÜRCAN; ATAKÖK G., KAM M., Koc H. B.
    Three-dimensional printers (3DP), which are often heard with additive manufacturing, are widely used in part production. Sensitive and custom-made products in different designs can be produced more easily and quickly, but waste specimen formed after the failed three-dimensional (3D) prints cause waste and environmental pollution from the expensive filament material. It is thought that such problems can be prevented by minimizing the waste when the scrap materials generated as a result of each production are recovered. This study investigated the benefits of recycling all possible waste filament specimens, including the supports removed from the part after the defective products or supported production, by granulating and reusing in the production of new parts in the next 3D production process. Mechanical differences between the 3D specimens produced with virgin filaments to be printed with recycled filaments are investigated and it has been determined that most of the countries cause environmental pollution due to the waste of materials including additive manufacturing and 3DP processes. The use of the filament material, which takes a long time to procure from abroad and is mainly procured externally, will be increased from one time to twice or thrice, thus facilitating the availability and preventing environmental pollution.
