A comprehensive analysis of binary mixtures as working fluid in high temperature heat pumps
No full textpeer reviewedHigh-temperature heat pumps represent an emerging technology with a great potential in supplying clean heat to energy intensive industries. Suitable refrigerants for high-temperature heat pumps (up to 200 °C) have not been identified yet. This work aims to analyze the performance of binary mixtures as working fluid in high-temperature heat pumps delivering heat up to 200 °C with a special focus on zeotropic mixtures. Three relevant processes with different heat sources and sinks were selected to integrate the heat pump: latent/latent (e.g. distillation processes), latent/sensible (e.g. superheated steam drying), sensible/sensible (e.g. pressurized water production). To determine the best working fluid and cycle configuration for each process, an optimization framework was developed with the maximization of the coefficient of performance as objective function. For the first case with a latent heat sink and heat source, the best performing binary mixtures were near-azeotropic with slightly higher coefficient of performance compared to pure fluids. Moreover, binary mixtures provided several advantages such as the reduction of the compression ratio and compressor outlet temperature compared to pure fluids. A similar behavior was observed for the second case with a latent heat source and a sensible heat sink. For the third case with a sensible heat sink and heat source, binary mixtures resulted in a higher coefficient of performance (10 %) compared to pure fluids. Most of the best performing mixtures were hydrocarbons with high risk of flammability. Water/ammonia was the only mildly-flammable mixture among the top mixtures

No full textThe thermodynamic potential of high-temperature transcritical heat pump cycles for industrial processes with large temperature glides
No full textIndustrial heat pumps up to 200 °C are an emerging technology with the potential to reshape the industrial heating supply. For large heat sink temperature glides, transcritical cycles are able to increase the power-to-heat efficiency. Its potential is however yet to be unlocked. To examine this potential, a thermodynamic optimization model is proposed. The model includes robust cycle optimization, is able to screen a large set of working fluids, and includes proper post-processing. This model is applied to three highly relevant industrial cases, namely thermal oil heating, superheated steam drying and spray drying. The heat sink temperature glides for the respective case studies are 60 K, 81 K and 105 K. The results show that a temperature glide larger than 60 K is desired to achieve a better coefficient of performance (COP) with transcritical cycles compared to the classical subcritical cycles. Moreover, new potential working fluids were identified for these high operational temperatures. For the case study with a heat sink temperature glide of 81 K, transcritical cycles allowed for a COP increase of 4.6 %, whereas this increased to 7.3 % for a heat sink temperature glide of 105 K. Furthermore, transcritical cycles introduce a much larger volumetric heating capacity, a lower compressor discharge temperature and a substantially lower pressure ratio. In addition, the best performing working fluids for subcritical cycles are highly flammable, which is only the case for some transcritical working fluids. Therefore, these cycles can be beneficial for temperature glides below 60 K. The compressor for transcritical cycles should however be able to cope with pressures up to 60 bar. If these compressors are available, transcritical cycles are shown to be superior compared to classical subcritical cycles

Quarkonium at STAR
No full textThe STAR detector is capable of reconstruction the J/{psi} meson in its dielectron decay channel, along with continuum dielectrons from heavy quark decay. The limitation is not instrumental--the ability of the STAR detector to identify electrons--rather, the primary limitation is yield. We expect to reconstruct of order 10,000 events per year in the bin of highest centrality, with perhaps ten times that many integrated over all bins of centrality. This is enough for a rather detailed study of J/{psi} production. The yields for {psi}{prime} and the high p{sub T} {chi} mesons which are in a low enough background region of phase space to permit reconstruction are too small for precision measurements. The only parent of the J/{psi} with a large enough yield for clear observation is the b quark. Even limited to just the J/{psi}, there is a rich physics program available to STAR: the yield provides information on the gluon flux as well as color screening, especially when compared to the open charm and b {r_arrow} J/{psi}X yields. The p{sub T} distribution measures energy loss in a nuclear medium, either by comparison with pp data or across different bins in centrality. The STAR quarkonium program should provide several unique windows into the physics of heavy ion collisions at RHIC
The immunomodulatory effect of vitamin D in chickens is dose-dependent and influenced by calcium and phosphorus levels
No full textVitamin D requirement is estimated to be higher than recommended values for the first two weeks of a broiler chicken's life, and is heavily dependent on the concentrations of Ca and P in the diet. There are data indicating the beneficial effect of higher vitamin D levels on performance and overall health of the chickens. However, data on the role of higher vitamin D levels on the innate immune response of chickens are limited. Therefore, in the current study, we examined the effect of higher doses of vitamin D supplementation on the innate immune response in broiler chickens receiving optimal or calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) deficient diets. Three hundred Ross-308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 60 cages with 5 birds per cage in a 3 × 2 factorial design with three levels of vitamin D and two levels of Ca/P with each experimental diet fed to 10 cages (10 replicates). Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (n = 5) was used to assess Toll-like receptor (TLR2b and 4), cytokine/chemokine (IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-4, IL-13, IL-18, CxCLi2) and cathelicidin (CATH1, CATHB1, CATH3) transcription levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), spleen, and bursa of Fabricius. Vitamin D supplementation of the Ca and P deficient diet considerably augmented transcription of TLR2b, TLR4, CATH1, and CATHB1 and predominantly Th2 cytokines in spleen. Supplementation of the control diet with vitamin D downregulated TLR4 transcription, and dose-dependently increased CATH1, CATHB1, Th1, and Th2 cytokine transcription (Th2>Th1). All diets downregulated CATH3 transcription. In conclusion, vitamin D or its derivative 25-OH-D3 both have a robust immunomodulatory property with a more favorable Th2 response, while at the same time enhancing observed Th2 cytokine responses under both optimal and lower Ca and P inclusion levels in the diets of broiler chickens.journal article2016 Jun 12016 6 1importe
Organic disease and associated psychopathology in a patient group with conversion symptoms
No full textThe author examines the relationship between conversion symptoms and organic disease. Over 20% of patients with conversion symptoms suffer from an organic pathology. These patients show also evidence of concurrent psychiatric disorders. The author suggests to view conversion as a symptom rather than a diagnosis.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Cell-based cancer gene therapy: breaking tolerance or inducing autoimmunity?
No full textThis review examines the mechanisms involved in anti-tumor immunity and how peptides present in many tumor types (tumor-associated antigens) are recognized by T cells from tumor-bearing cancer patients. Tumor-associated antigens are derived from proteins that are also expressed in normal cells. It is predicted that immune responses to such peptides will be compromised by self-tolerance or that stimulation of effective immune responses will be accompanied by autoimmunity. We also consider that the immunity induced against two autoantigens, which are highly conserved in vertebrates, involve qualitatively different mechanisms, such as the production of antibodies and cell-mediated immune responses. However, both pathways lead to tumor immunity and identical phenotypic manifestations of autoimmunity. Appropriate selection of the optimal tumor antigen is critical for the induction of an anti-tumor immune response. Thus, we stress that the methods for antigen presentation using dendritic cells play a critical role in the development of tumor vaccines, to break immune tolerance and induce a strong immune response against them. The viability and feasibility of expansion of canine dendritic cells from bone marrow and peripheral blood ex vivo for the treatment of spontaneous cancers in dogs is also discussed
