Improvement of activated charcoal-ammonia adsorption heat pumping/refrigeration cycles : investigation of porosity and heat/mass transfer chacteristics

Reported in this thesis are the results of a combined theoretical and experimental study into improvements to the solid adsorption refrigeration or heat pumping cycle using the ammonia-activated charcoal pair. The three areas which have been examined are the cycle thermodynamics, the porosity charac...
