JOURNAL METRICS

Impact Factor (JCR) 2023: 0.7 ℹImpact Factor (JCR):

The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.

5-Year Impact Factor: 0.8 ℹ5-Year Impact Factor:

A 5-Year Impact Factor shows the long-term citation trend for a journal. This is calculated differently from the Journal Impact Factor, so it is not simply an average of the Impact Factors in the time period. The Impact Factor itself is based only on Web of Science Core Collection citation data from the last three years and thus reflects only recent impact. The Journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the Journal Citation Reports year.

CiteScore 2023: 1.9 ℹCiteScore:

CiteScore is the number of citations received by a journal in one year to documents published in the three previous years, divided by the number of documents indexed in Scopus published in those same three years.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2023: 0.23 ℹSCImago Journal Rank (SJR):

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2023: 0.350 ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):

SNIP measures a source’s contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. It helps you make a direct comparison of sources in different subject fields. SNIP takes into account characteristics of the source's subject field, which is the set of documents citing that source.

Abstract:

Air conditioning is viewed as a major energy consuming area in domestic and industrial applications. However energy conservation is effectively possible in air conditioners by employing an intercooler with nanofluids, which can consequently reduce the compressor load. This paper presents an investigative report on the performance of proposed energy efficient air conditioning system. A binary mixture of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂) and water is used as the base fluid in the shell and coil type heat exchanger (SCHE). The volume concentration of C₂H₆O₂ in base fluid, type of suspended nano particles (Al₂O₃ and MgO), flow rate of nanofluid at shell side of intercooler and the volume fraction of nano particles are chosen for experimentation designed using Taguchi L₁₈ orthogonal array. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the nanofluid-based domestic air conditioner is estimated as the performance index (response). Quadratic model and response surface plots are generated to observe the effects of inputs on the COP. The nano particles of MgO (0.75%v/v), suspended in a binary mixture with 28.65% C₂H₆O₂ is found to improve the system performance (COP) at a nanofluid flow rate of 2.42 LPM.
