Summary

The current study investigated how utilizing nanofluid-based LiBr absorbent can enhance the absorption refrigeration performance. Nanoparticles that are dispersed in conventional LiBr absorbents possess distinct thermophysical behaviour compared to conventional absorbents, which can affect system cooling performance. The thermodynamic and heat transfer characteristics of LiBr 55% nanofluid were experimentally and numerically studied for absorption refrigeration system numerical analysis such as cooling capacity, coefficient of performance, and heat transfer rates. Moreover, the study investigates how varying nanoparticle concentrations affect system performance. The results from this investigation offer promising advantages and insights over other conventional working fluids when using LiBr 55% nanofluids in the absorption refrigeration system as an absorbent. Besides, this study can contribute to struggles to develop green and sustainably high efficient cooling systems in various fields such as refrigeration, HVAC, and thermal management systems.
