We investigate the optimization of turbo-Brayton cycles for cooling current leads. Simple models of single stage current lead, two-stage current lead and two stage current lead coupled with a double stage turbo-Brayton cycle have been used to provide understanding about the issues and the tradeoffs. In addition, we discuss the possibility of using the heat exchanger in the turbo-Brayton system ...

Exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. The proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. To generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...

abstract: implementing a combined cooling, heating and power system(cchp) to cool, heat and produce electricity is growing rapidly due to its efficiency and low emissions. in this paper, using economic analysis, the size and operation detail of the required gas engine and the specific electricity, cooling and heating load curves for a one year operating period has been determined. the proposed ...

Turbo decoding is viewed as superior alternate decoding technique in communication system, the circuit complexity and power consumption of turbo decoder implementation can often be prohibitive for power constrained system. To address these issues a power efficient turbo decoder based on soft out viterbi algorithm is designed. SOVA based turbo decoder can be implemented with high throughput and ...

In a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. This is achieved in a cooling tower. The Heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout Iran. Wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. Previous studi...
