Effect of Pressure Drop and Reheating on Thermal and Exergetic Performance of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Brayton Cycles Integrated With a Solar Central Receiver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concentrated solar power using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) Brayton cycles offers advantages of similar or higher overall thermal efficiencies than conventional Rankine cycles using superheated or supercritical ...
Characteristics of Auto-Ignition in Internal Combustion Engines Operated With Gaseous Fuels of Variable Methane Number
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper explores the feasibility of using Syngas with low methane number as fuel for commercial turbocharged internal combustion engines. The effect of methane number (MN), compression ratio (CR), and intake pressure ...
Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of the Goswami Cycle Operating at Low Temperature Heat Sources
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Goswami cycle is a cycle that combines an ammonia–water vapor absorption cycle and a Rankine cycle for cooling and mechanical power purposes by using thermal heat sources such as solar energy or geothermal steam. In ...
Maximum Power From Fluid Flow by Applying the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of equilibrium thermodynamics in the study of thermal plant performance under real operating conditions is a constant challenge. In this paper, an analysis of a reservoir pressure piston working between two ...
