... transfer and diffusion coefficients and the thermal conductivity of the wax deposit. The computer program was used to simulate the preliminary wax deposition tests conducted during the experimental phase of the JIP 29 . The oil/gas mixture inlet temperature in the test section was 105°F and the glycol...

... of these irreversibilities on the performance of the system. The profit of operating the heat pump system is taken as an objective function for optimization. The maximum profit is calculated for a given total heat transfer area or total thermal conductance of heat exchangers. The coefficient of performance, heating load...
