Selection of prime mover to meet heating demand of a single effect absorption chiller based on laws of thermodynamics

Abstract In this study the first and second laws of thermodynamics are evaluated for a single effect absorption chiller. Entropy generation COP selected as objective functions their variations studied by varying generator temperature various condensing temperatures. For purpose, enthalpy entropy data super-heated steam, saturated steam water formulated in mathematical equations. Also to provide required generator, prime mover form internal combustion engine is applied its partial load conditions analyzed. A residential tower considered case selecting proper capacity. The number movers estimated based on heating power each load. It seen, would be decreased rapidly increasing after while, approximately constant. optimum may evaporator temperature. deduced that increased but following, will maximum amount certain
