  2. Free cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_cooling

    For a human-powered version, see yakhchal.. When the ambient air temperature drops to a set temperature, a modulating valve allows all or part of the chilled water to by-pass an existing chiller and run through the free cooling system, which uses less power and uses the lower ambient air temperature to cool the water in the system.

  3. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    Empirically, the devices show a linear trend, typically with the COP = 0.0015 T c − 0.065, where T c is the cryogenic temperature. At these temperatures, solid materials have lower specific heat values, so the regenerator must be made from unexpected materials, such as cotton. [citation needed]

  4. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine...

    For water-cooled engines on aircraft and surface vehicles, waste heat is transferred from a closed loop of water pumped through the engine to the surrounding atmosphere by a radiator. Water has a higher heat capacity than air, and can thus move heat more quickly away from the engine, but a radiator and pumping system add weight, complexity, and ...

  5. Heat transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_coefficient

    Although convective heat transfer can be derived analytically through dimensional analysis, exact analysis of the boundary layer, approximate integral analysis of the boundary layer and analogies between energy and momentum transfer, these analytic approaches may not offer practical solutions to all problems when there are no mathematical models applicable.

  6. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    Obviously, this latter measure makes some heat pumps unsuitable to produce high temperatures, which means that a separate machine is needed for producing, e.g., hot tap water. The COP of absorption chillers can be improved by adding a second or third stage.

  7. Economizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economizer

    When the outside air's dry- and wet-bulb temperatures are low enough, a water-side economizer can use water cooled by a wet cooling tower or a dry cooler (also called a fluid cooler) to cool buildings without operating a chiller. They are historically known as the strainer cycle, but the water-side economizer is not a true thermodynamic cycle.

  8. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    SG is the specific gravity of the fluid (for water = 1), ΔP is the pressure drop across the valve (expressed in psi). In more practical terms, the flow coefficient C v is the volume (in US gallons) of water at 60 °F (16 °C) that will flow per minute through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi (6.9 kPa) across the valve.

    The Hyundai Delta family is the company's smaller V6 engine, ranging from 2.5 to 2.7 L (2,493 to 2,656 cc). Both share the same 75 mm (2.95 in) stroke and both are DOHC designs. 2.0L (G6BP)
