Vapour-Compression Refrigeration using Nonlinear Optimisation

1. Introduction

The problem of vapour-compression refrigeration acquires particular significance in the humid tropical climate of the region. Experimental data gathered from water distribution networks are interpreted with the aid of nonlinear optimisation. Computed capacities exceeded the code-based estimates by 44% on average. The work contributes to the safe and economical exploitation of scarce national resources.
