Thermodynamic Properties of Binary Mixture for Power Generation Systems

In Kalina power generation as well as vapor absorption and refrigeration systems ammonia-water mixture has been used as working fluids. Unlike for pure components, binary mixtures additionally need mixture concentration to solve thermodynamic properties. A flowchart is developed to understand the computations of the properties. The thermodynamic properties for ammonia-water mixture have been generated using MATLAB computer code. The solved properties are bubble point temperature, dew point temperature, specific enthalpy, specific entropy, specific volume and exergy. The property charts i.e. enthalpy-concentration, entropy-concentration, temperature-concentration and exergy-concentration charts have been prepared. The present work can be used to simulate the power generating systems to get the feasibility of the proposed ideas up to 100 bar. This work can be used to carry out the exergy analysis of Kalina power cycles.
