RISOptimization of a Closed-Cycle OTEC System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimization of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) system is carried out by the Powell Method (the method of steepest descent). The parameters in the objective function consist of the ...
Direct Method to Maximize Net Power Output of Rankine Cycle in Low-Grade Thermal Energy Conversion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using ammonia as working fluid, enthalpy equations corresponding to every point in Rankine cycle for low-grade thermal energy conversion (LTEC) are presented by employing curve-fitting method. ...
Performance Analysis of an OTEC Plant and a Desalination Plant Using an Integrated Hybrid Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A performance analysis of an OTEC plant using an integrated hybrid cycle (I–H OTEC Cycle) has been conducted. The I–H OTEC cycle is a combination of a closed-cycle OTEC plant and a spray ...
A Simulation Model for Hot Spring Thermal Energy Conversion Plant With Working Fluid of Binary Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hot spring thermal energy conversion (STEC) is a system that converts heat energy into electricity using the temperature difference between hot spring water and sea/river water. This paper ...
The Performance of the Kalina Cycle System 11(KCS-11) With Low-Temperature Heat Sources
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The possibility of exploiting low-temperature heat sources has been of great significance with ever increasing energy demand. Optimum and cost-effective design of the power cycles provide a means ...
