TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive literature review on ejector refrigeration systems and working fluids is presented, which deeply analyzes ejector technology and behavior, refrigerant properties and their influence over ejector performance.
Abstract: The increasing need for thermal comfort has led to a rapid increase in the use of cooling systems and, consequently, electricity demand for air-conditioning systems in buildings. Heat-driven ejector refrigeration systems appear to be a promising alternative to the traditional compressor-based refrigeration technologies for energy consumption reduction. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on ejector refrigeration systems and working fluids. It deeply analyzes ejector technology and behavior, refrigerant properties and their influence over ejector performance and all of the ejector refrigeration technologies, with a focus on past, present and future trends. The review is structured in four parts. In the first part, ejector technology is described. In the second part, a detailed description of the refrigerant properties and their influence over ejector performance is presented. In the third part, a review focused on the main jet refrigeration cycles is proposed, and the ejector refrigeration systems are reported and categorized. Finally, an overview over all ejector technologies, the relationship among the working fluids and the ejector performance, with a focus on past, present and future trends, is presented.

TL;DR: The investigation shows the FEM is a versatile tool for studying the mechanics of vascular structures and enables the influence of various parameters on wall stress to be quantified in diagnostic settings, and so could be useful for predicting the rupture of AAA, although at present such predictions are limited by data leakage and by the approximations used in the model.

TL;DR: An efficient ghost-cell immersed boundary method (GCIBM) for simulating turbulent flows in complex geometries is presented in this paper, where a boundary condition is enforced through a ghost cell method.
Abstract: An efficient ghost-cell immersed boundary method (GCIBM) for simulating turbulent flows in complex geometries is presented. A boundary condition is enforced through a ghost cell method. The reconstruction procedure allows systematic development of numerical schemes for treating the immersed boundary while preserving the overall second-order accuracy of the base solver. Both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions can be treated. The current ghost cell treatment is both suitable for staggered and non-staggered Cartesian grids. The accuracy of the current method is validated using flow past a circular cylinder and large eddy simulation of turbulent flow over a wavy surface. Numerical results are compared with experimental data and boundary-fitted grid results. The method is further extended to an existing ocean model (MITGCM) to simulate geophysical flow over a three-dimensional bump. The method is easily implemented as evidenced by our use of several existing codes.

TL;DR: For AAAs under observation, peak AAA wall stress seems superior to diameter in differentiating patients who will experience catastrophic outcome, and with proportional hazards analysis, peak wall stress and gender were the only significant independent predictors of rupture.

TL;DR: Finite element simulations showed that the computed AAA wall stresses changed by only 4% or less when both the parameters were varied within the 95% confidence intervals for the patient population studied, indicating that in lieu of the patient-specific material parameters, which are difficult to determine, the model to be reasonably employed in a clinical setting is sufficiently accurate.

TL;DR: Calculation of wall stress with computer modeling of three-dimensional AAA geometry appears to assess rupture risk more accurately than AAA diameter or other previously proposed clinical indices.
