Abstract: The thermodynamics of power cycles employing liquid natural gas (LNG) as heat sink is discussed. Condensation cycles in simple or in elaborate versions, employing nontoxic, nonflammable, inert ...

Abstract: The possibility of performing a liquid phase compression in closed cycle gas turbine through the use of particular working fluids is discussed. From the results of calculations carried out for ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic performance of several condensation cycles employing carbon dioxide as working medium is analyzed and discussed. A balanced distribution of thermodynamic losses between mechanical ...

Abstract: The potential merits of cyclic polymethylsiloxanes, particularly those conventionally denominated D4 and D5 , as working fluids for space power cycles are discussed. The attractive technical ...

Abstract: Organic compounds, employed as working fluids for low temperature heat recovery, are shown to exhibit a performance better than that of steam cycles. The potential influence on efficiency and ...

Abstract: The computation of power cycles employing carbon dioxide as working fluid and extending down to the critical region requires the knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of CO2 within a wide ...
