Combined Cycle for Power Generation and Refrigeration Using Low Temperature Heat Sources
A combined refrigeration and power cycle, which uses ammonia-water as the working fluid, is proposed by combining Rankine and vapour absorption cycles with an advantage of varying refrigeration capacity to power output ratio. The study investigates the usage of low temperature heat sources for the cycle operation. Results of parametric analysis are presented, which show the scope for optimizati...
متن کاملAnalysis and comparison of solar-heat driven Stirling, Brayton and Rankine cycles for space power generation
This paper presents an analysis of solar-heat driven Brayton, Rankine and Stirling cycles operating in space with different working fluids. Generation of power in space for terrestrial use can represent a great future opportunity: the low-temperature of space (~3 K), allows the attainment of very high efficiency even with low-temperature heat inputs, and the solar energy input is higher in spac...
متن کاملSimultaneous optimal design of multi-stage organic Rankine cycles and working fluid mixtures for low-temperature heat sources
Energy recovery is a process strategy seeking to improve process efficiency through the capture, recycle and deployment of normally neglected low energy content sources or streams. By proper optimal process design, such low-temperature energy sources can be a feasible and economical manner of approaching the energy recovery issue. In particular, when Rankine cycles with mixtures as working flui...
متن کاملA Co-Powered Biomass and Concentrated Solar Power Rankine Cycle Concept for Small Size Combined Heat and Power Generation
The present work investigates the matching of an advanced small scale Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Rankine cycle plant with end-user thermal and electric load. The power plant consists of a concentrated solar power field co-powered by a biomass furnace to produce steam in a Rankine cycle, with a CHP configuration. A hotel was selected as the end user due to its high thermal to electric consump...
متن کاملMicro Power Generation from Micro Fuel Cell Combined with Micro Methanol Reformer
1.1 Background Thanks to the breakthroughs in microfabrication technologies, numerous concepts of microsystems including micro aerial vehicles, microbots, and nanosatellites have been proposed. Contrary to ordinary electronic devices, these microsystems perform mechanical work and require the extended operation. As their functions are getting complex and advanced, their energy consumption is al...
