A steam Rankine cycle with two-stage pumping to enhance the waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines

In this research, a high-temperature Rankin cycle (HTRC) with two-stage pumping is presented and investigated. In this cycle, two different pressures and mass flow rates in the HTRC result in two advantages. First, the possibility of direct recovery from the engine block by working fluid of water, which is a low quality waste heat source, is created in a HTRC. Secondly, by doing this, the mean ...

The Application of Switching Control to Boiler-Turbine Coordination in Marine Steam Power Plant

In the marine steam power plant, the main boiler has the small size and the little heat capacity. However, marine ship requires high maneuverability, when it is running, the loads varied frequently, and the varying range is big, and this will cause the boiler security problem, such as over-pressure or under-voltage. The marine steam power plant boilerturbine coordinated control strategy is to s...

Multi-objective optimization of heat recovery steam generators

In this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). Two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and HRSG equivalent volume. The former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the HRSG. Decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the HRSG. The result...
