Embodiment Construction

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, the fluid flow is made to take the shape of a Venturi tube, the basic form of which is shown in Figure 1 in the cross-section of a solid conduit with varying variations, including the inlet nozzle portion 1 of the Venturi conduit, a relatively slow flow of high temperature fluid 4 is driven by pressure into said inlet nozzle part 1, converging into an intermediate neck 2, which has a reduced or reduced cross-section, and stream 5 as a relatively fast and cool fluid stream through a diverging ) nozzle section 3 leaves, and where, in the diverging nozzle or diverging section 3, the Bernoulli transition reverses, producing a slow flow 6 similar to the inlet 1, but delivered to the heated by the flow of heat. The blower mechanism, as shown in Figure 7, can be used to create a pressure differential that maintains good thermal contact between the heat source and the heat sink fluid flow, as is well known; to push cooling flow into t...

Abstract

Heat pumps move heat from a source to a warmer sink, with Bernoulli heat pumps accomplishing this movement by reducing the temperature in a portion of the generally- warmer heat-sink flow. Heat flows spontaneously from the generally cooler heat-source flow into the locally cold portion of the heat-sink flow, which is the neck of a Venturi. The temperature reduction results from the Bernoulli conversion of random gas-particle motion (temperature and pressure) into directed motion (flow). This invention is a Bernoulli heat pump in which the heat transfer into the Venturi neck exploits unusual thermodynamic transport properties of rare-gases. Rare gases, especially mixtures of them, possess unusually small Prandtl numbers and thereby facilitate the diffusion of random particle motion (heat) relative to the diffusion of directed particle motion (viscosity), viscous friction being responsible for most of the power consumed by a Bernoulli heat pump.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to heat pumps - devices that move heat from a heat source to a warm heat sink, and more particularly to Bernoulli heat pumps and methods. Background technique [0002] A heat engine moves heat from a source to a radiator. By distinguishing the direction of heat movement, heat engines can be divided into two basic types. Heat flows spontaneously "downwards", that is, towards lower temperatures. As with the flow of water, the "downward" flow of heat can be used to produce mechanical work, eg as represented by an internal combustion engine. Devices that move heat "up," that is, toward higher temperatures, are known as heat pumps. Heat pumps must consume energy. Refrigerators and air conditioners are examples of heat pumps. Commonly used heat pumps use a working fluid (gas or liquid) whose temperature varies over a range that includes the temperature of the source and the heat sink between which the heat is pumped. This tempera...
