Summary

It has been shown earlier in literature that the composition of the mixture in circulation at steady state is different from that charged into the system in Joule-Thomson refrigerators operating with mixtures. There are no methods in literature that help us charge a particular composition into the system in order to get the desired composition in circulation at steady state. Experiments were performed with 30 different charge compositions, two different heat exchangers, and two different heat loads to understand the relationship between the composition in circulation and that charged. Based on these experiments, a method is proposed for estimating the charge composition required to get the desired composition in circulation. [Reprinted with permission from Elsevier.
