heat recovery from geothermal energy by employing refrigerants power cycles
some geothermal reservoirs have temperatures below boiling point and therefore natural steam can not be produced for power generation. refrigerant power cycles may be then employed to recover low temperature heat. in this article study is made of the power cycles of six different relligrants and most suitable refrigerants for this purpose are suggested
متن کاملA numerical analysis of a composition-adjustable Kalina cycle power plant for power generation from low-temperature geothermal sources
The Kalina cycle is believed to be one of the most promising technologies for power generation from low temperature heat sources such as geothermal energy. So far, most Kalina cycle power plants are designed with a working fluid mixture having a fixed composition, and thus normally operate at a fixed condensing temperature. However, the ambient temperature (i.e., heat sink) varies over a large ...
متن کاملThermodynamic pre-determination of power generation potential in geothermal low-temperature applications
Background: Small capacity, low temperature, geothermal heat sources provide significant opportunities for distributed, small scale power generation. Project definitions and pre-dimensioning however require advanced thermodynamic engineering at a cost independent of project size. In order to reduce this cost, a new method has been developed to allow basic level engineers to perform pre-optimisa...
متن کاملStreet-heat: Controlling road temperature via low enthalpy geothermal energy
In this paper, the authors present an idea to exploit low enthalpy geothermal energy in order to reduce street temperature fluctuations throughout the year and avoid ice formation during the winter season. The key aspect of the proposed system is that it is based on the exploitation of geothermal temperature gradients through materials with high thermal conductivity inserted into the ground, su...
متن کاملLow Temperature Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Properties of Zinc Ferrite*
The heat capacity of zinc ferrite (ZnFe,O,) has been determined over the range 5 to 350°K. Molal values of C~,S’, and HO-H,O computed from the thermal data are 32,99&t-0.03 cal/deg., 36.01 f0.03 cal/deg., and 18,00&0.02 Cal, respectively, at 298,lS”K. A co-operative thermal anomaly associated with antiferromagnetic ordering occurs at 9.5” and extends toward higher temperatures probably as a con...
