AI Thread Summary
Mixed refrigerants are utilized to achieve specific thermodynamic properties that may not be attainable with pure refrigerants alone. The blending of refrigerants can enhance efficiency, improve performance across a wider temperature range, and reduce environmental impact. Critics argue that pure refrigerants can often meet desired properties without the complexity of mixtures. The context of mixing refrigerants typically involves applications in systems requiring precise temperature control or energy efficiency. Overall, the choice between mixed and pure refrigerants depends on the specific requirements of the refrigeration system.

Hey,

Does anyone know the unique features of mixed refrigerants and why they mix refrigerants instead of using just pure refrigerants?

Thanks,

Alexisonsmith

Who are "they"? And in what context are "they" mixing the refrigerants. From what it seems like, there is no advantage of mixing the refrigerants, because you can usually get the desired properties from at least one refrigerant (CO2, R134a, R22, etc...).
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
