Rankine cycle efficiency gain using thermoelectric heat pumps
The Rankine cycle remains the dominant method of thermal plant electricity generation in the world today. The cycle was described over 150 years ago and significant performance advances continue to be realised. On-going metallurgy research has enabled the operating pressure and temperature of the boiler and turbine to be increased, thereby improving the cycle efficiency. The ubiquitous use of t...
متن کاملExperimental application of thermoelectric devices to the Rankine cycle
Thermal plants operating on the Rankine cycle are by far the most common method of global electrical power generation. The Rankine cycle, first developed in the late 19 century, continues to this day to be one of the most important practical implementations of a heat engine. Innovation and enhancement of this cycle continue and today’s emphasis is directed towards reduced carbon emissions from ...
متن کاملOptimal Heat Source Temperature For Supercritical Organic Rankine Cycle
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) enables power generation from lowto medium temperature heat sources. In an ORC, the organic medium shows different performances for different heat source temperatures. For a range of heat source temperatures, one temperature can be always identified corresponding to the best thermal match between the heat transfer fluid and working fluid. This temperature is defined ...
متن کاملThermodynamic performance of new thermofluidic feed pumps for Organic Rankine Cycle applications
This study develops thermofluidic pump technology that is powered by heat, rather than by electrical or mechanical power. The objective is to improve the performance of heat-recovery by Organic Rankine Cycles, by using a recently-proposed thermofluidic pump. The thermofluidic pump promises low-cost, high-reliability, and, since it does not consume any of the power produced by the expander, impr...
متن کاملLow-Grade Waste Heat Recovery for Power Production using an Absorption-Rankine Cycle
An investigation of heat recovery for power generation using an absorption-Rankine cycle with a low temperature waste heat source was conducted. In such a cycle, the condenser and boiler of a conventional Rankine system are replaced with an absorber and desorber. A recuperative solution heat exchanger is also incorporated between the absorber and desorber to minimize the external heat input. An...
