α–h Diagram and principle of exergy coupling of GAX cycle

Ammonia absorption chiller systems of a single-stage cycle and a Generator Absorber heat exchanger cycle (GAX) were simulated and studied. At heat source temperatures of T_H = 120 °C, T_M = 25 °C and T_L = 5 °C, the coefficient of performances of the two cycles are 0.589 and 0.776, the GAX cycle is higher 31.8% than the single-stage cycle. And the exergy efficiencies of the two cycles are 15.4% and 27.4%, the GAX cycle is higher up to 77.9%. This paper proposes a new method that adopts the energy quality factor α as a evaluation criterion and also uses the α–h diagram as a thermodynamic analysis tool graphically, and a concept that divides absorption cycle to a heat pump subcycle and a heat engine subcycle. By means of the α–h diagram, the thermodynamic frameworks of the two cycles were illustrated. The comparison analysis indicates that the improvement of cycle performance depends on its thermodynamic perfectibility. In fact, the exergy demand of heat pump subcycle in the GAX cycle is as the same as that of the single-stage cycle, however, the energy cascading use and the exergy coupling framework of the heat engine subcycle in GAX cycle is retrofitted, so that the exergy consumption is reduced and the increased benefit is obtained from the overall cycle.     

Exergy analysis for stationary flow systems with several heat exchange temperatures

A thermodynamic theory of exergy analysis for a stationary flow system having several heat inputs and outputs at different temperature levels is presented. As a new result a relevant reference temperature of the surroundings is derived for each case. Also a general formula which combines exergy analysis with a modified Carnot efficiency is derived. The results are illustrated by numerical examples for mechanical multi-circuit heat pump cycles, for a Brayton process and for an absorption heat pump.     

Exergy analysis: an absorption refrigerator using lithium bromide and water as the working fluids

The thermodynamic processes in the absorption refrigeration system releases a large amount of heat to the environment. This heat is evolved at temperatures considerably above the ambient temperature, which results in a major irreversible loss in the system components. In this paper an exergy analysis is carried out on a single-effect absorption refrigeration cycle with lithium-bromide–water as the working fluid pair. Numerical results for the cycle are tabulated. A design procedure has been applied to a lithium-bromide absorption cycle and an optimisation procedure that consists of determining the enthalpy, entropy, temperature, mass flow rate, heat rate in each component, and coefficient of performance has been performed.     

Second law-based thermodynamic analysis of water-lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system

In this study, the first and the second law of thermodynamics are used to analyze the performance of a single-stage water-lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system (ARS) when some working parameters are varied. A mathematical model based on the exergy method is introduced to evaluate the system performance, exergy loss of each component and total exergy loss of all the system components. Parameters connected with performance of the cycle–circulation ratio (CR), coefficient of performance (COP), Carnot coefficient of performance (COP_c), exergetic efficiency (ξ) and efficiency ratio (τ)–are calculated from the thermodynamic properties of the working fluids at various operating conditions. Using the developed model, the effect of main system temperatures on the performance parameters of the system, irreversibilities in the thermal process and non-dimensional exergy loss of each component are analyzed in detail. The results show that the performance of the ARS increases with increasing generator and evaporator temperatures, but decreases with increasing condenser and absorber temperatures. Exergy losses in the expansion valves, pump and heat exchangers, especially refrigerant heat exchanger, are small compared to other components. The highest exergy loss occurs in the generator regardless of operating conditions, which therefore makes the generator the most important component of the cycle.     

Exergy analysis of an integrated solid oxide fuel cell and organic Rankine cycle for cooling, heating and power production

The study examines a novel system that combined a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for cooling, heating and power production (trigeneration) through exergy analysis. The system consists of an SOFC, an ORC, a heat exchanger and a single-effect absorption chiller. The system is modeled to produce a net electricity of around 500 kW. The study reveals that there is 3-25% gain on exergy efficiency when trigeneration is used compared with the power cycle only. Also, the study shows that as the current density of the SOFC increases, the exergy efficiencies of power cycle, cooling cogeneration, heating cogeneration and trigeneration decreases. In addition, it was shown that the effect of changing the turbine inlet pressure and ORC pump inlet temperature are insignificant on the exergy efficiencies of the power cycle, cooling cogeneration, heating cogeneration and trigeneration. Also, the study reveals that the significant sources of exergy destruction are the ORC evaporator, air heat exchanger at the SOFC inlet and heating process heat exchanger.     

Energetic and exergetic performance analyses of a combined heat and power plant with absorption inlet cooling and evaporative aftercooling

In this paper, exergy method is applied to analyze the gas turbine cycle cogeneration with inlet air cooling and evaporative aftercooling of the compressor discharge. The exergy destruction rate in each component of cogeneration is evaluated in detail. The effects of some main parameters on the exergy destruction and exergy efficiency of the cycle are investigated. The most significant exergy destruction rates in the cycle are in combustion chamber, heat recovery steam generator and regenerative heat exchanger. The overall pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature have significant effect on exergy destruction in most of the components of cogeneration. The results obtained from the analysis show that inlet air cooling along with evaporative aftercooling has an obvious increase in the energy and exergy efficiency compared to the basic gas turbine cycle cogeneration. It is further shown that the first-law efficiency, power to heat ratio and exergy efficiency of the cogeneration cycle significantly vary with the change in overall pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature but the change in process heat pressure shows small variation in these parameters.     

Preliminary investigation of a transcritical CO2 heat pump driven by a solar‐powered CO2 Rankine cycle

In this paper, a transcritical carbon dioxide heat pump system driven by solar‐owered CO₂ Rankine cycle is proposed for simultaneous heating and cooling applications. Based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, a theoretical analysis on the performance characteristic is carried out for this solar‐powered heat pump cycle using CO₂ as working fluid. Further, the effects of the governing parameters on the performance such as coefficient of performance (COP) and the system exergy destruction rate are investigated numerically. With the simulation results, it is found that, the cooling COP for the transcritical CO₂ heat pump syatem is somewhat above 0.3 and the heating COP is above 0.9. It is also concluded that, the performance of the combined transcritical CO₂ heat pump system can be significantly improved based on the optimized governing parameters, such as solar radiation, solar collector efficient area, the heat transfer area and the inlet water temperature of heat exchange components, and the CO₂ flow rate of two sub‐cycles. Where, the cooling capacity, heating capacity, and exergy destruction rate are found to increase with solar radiation, but the COPs of combined system are decreased with it. Furthermore, in terms of improvement in COPs and reduction in system exergy destruction at the same time, it is more effective to employ a large heat transfer area of heat exchange components in the combined heat pump system.

Exergy analysis on combustion and energy conversion processes

When we consider exergy analysis on combustion and thermodynamic processes, we introduce another concept against energy analysis, which is supported by an evaluation of its temperature level. When a higher temperature energy than that an ambient level is taken into consideration, it can be put for some domestic or industrial purpose. A medium temperature energy of 30–60 °C is used for domestic heating, and a high temperature of 200 °C and above is suitable for power generation or process heating. Therefore, we study exergy concept supported by temperature level. When we discuss power generation, a high temperature energy of 1500 °C and above in combined cycle has a higher conversion efficiency than that of 500–600 °C in steam cycle. If we try to apply high temperature air combustion, a preheated air temperature of 1000 °C and above can be produced by exhaust heat recovery from stack gas, which has been developed as a new technology of energy conservation. In this study, the authors present an exergy analysis on combustion and energy conversion processes, which is based on the above-mentioned concept of exergy and energy supported by temperature level. When we discuss high temperature air combustion in furnace, this process shows a higher performance than that of the ambient air combustion. Furthermore, when we discuss the power generation and heat pump processes, the minimum ambient temperature would already be known for each season, and the conversion performance can be estimated by the maximum operating temperature in their cycles. So, the authors attempt to calculate the exergy and energy values for combustion, power generation and heat pump processes.     

Energy and exergy performance assessment of a novel solar-based integrated system with hydrogen production

In this study, a new solar power assisted multigeneration system designed and thermodynamically analyzed. In this system, it is designed to perform heating, cooling, drying, hydrogen and power generation with a single energy input. The proposed study consists of seven sub-parts which are namely parabolic dish solar collector, Rankine cycle, organic Rankine cycle, PEM-electrolyzer, double effect absorption cooling, dryer and heat pump. The effects of varying reference temperature, solar irradiation, input and output pressure of high-pressure turbine and pinch point temperature heat recovery steam generator are investigated on the energetic and exergetic performance of integration system. Thermodynamic analysis result outputs show that the energy and exergy performance of overall study are computed as 48.19% and 43.57%, respectively. Moreover, the highest rate of irreversibility has the parabolic dish collector with 24,750 kW, while the lowest rate of irreversibility is calculated as 5745 kW in dryer. In addition, the main contribution of this study is that the solar-assisted multi-generation systems have good potential in terms of energy and exergy efficiency.
