...Ting Wang; Henry A. Long, III Around 50% of the world’s electrical power supply comes from the Rankine cycle, and the majority of existing Rankine cycle plants are driven by coal. Given how unattractive coal is as an energy resource in spite of its high energy content, it becomes necessary to find...

...Vineed Narayanan; G. Venkatarathnam There is an increased interest in carbon dioxide-based cycles as it requires smaller turbines than conventional Rankine cycles operating with steam. The focus of this work is the study of the performance of a Rankine cycle operating between 500 and 700 K (226.85...

... of low-temperature heat sources which might otherwise be discarded. In this analysis, the performance of the Kalina cycle system 11 (KCS11) is examined for low-temperature geothermal heat sources and is compared with an organic Rankine cycle. The effect of the ammonia fraction and turbine inlet pressure...
