Electrothermal energy storage (ETES) provides bulk electricity storage based on heat pump and heat engine technologies. A subcritical ETES is described in this paper. Based on the extremum principle of entransy dissipation, a geometry model is developed for heat transfer optimization for subcritical ETES. The exergy during the heat transfer process is deduced in terms of entropy production. The...

A chemical equilibrium model was developed to predict the product composition of a biomass gasification system using highly preheated air and steam. The advantages and limitations of this system were discussed from a thermodynamic viewpoint. The first and second law analyses have been conducted for various preheating temperatures and steam/biomass mass (S/B) ratios. The results demonstrated tha...

In this study thermodynamic performance analysis of a combined organic Rankine cycle and ejector refrigeration cycle is carried out for use of low-grade heat source in the form of sensible energy. Special attention is paid to the effects of system parameters including the turbine inlet temperature and turbine inlet pressure on the characteristics of the system such as ratios of mass flow rate, ...

Three combined power and refrigeration system are introduced to compare and analyze for a defined demand and same fuel consumption based on thermodynamic parameters in a 24 hours period. Gas turbine and/or steam turbine are used for power generation and also ejector refrigeration cycle is used to produce cooling. These three systems are named as GER, SER and GSER. The results of three systems a...

This research is concerned with the design and analysis of a geothermal based multi-generation system by applying both conventional and advanced exergy and exergoeconomic concepts. The proposed energy system consists of a dual-organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to vaporize liquefied natural gas (LNG) and produce electricity. A proton exchange membrane(PEM) electrolyzer is employed to produce hydrogen ...
