An irreversible Maisotsenko reciprocating Brayton cycle (MRBC) model is established using the finite time thermodynamic (FTT) theory and taking the heat transfer loss (HTL), piston friction loss (PFL), and internal irreversible losses (IILs) into consideration in this paper. A calculation flowchart of the power output (P) and efficiency (η) of the cycle is provided, and the effects of the mass ...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the possible power options and configurations for remote locations in the oil and gas industry with the view of proposing a cost effect power supply option suitable for the different operational requirements at these remote locations. It reviews the different power options available and presents selection criteria for the optimum choice of power generation techn...

Ammonia is an example of a zero-carbon fuel high interest for implementation in gas turbine technologies. Preliminary analyses showed that basic humidified ammonia-hydrogen Brayton cycle can produce total plant efficiencies ~34%. However, further improvements are required to make these units competitive current fossil-based plants whose above 80%. Thus, this work seeks numerically and analytica...
