No.: (936) 597-9233 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Overall resistances for heat and vapour transport in a multilayer garment depend on the properties of individual layers and the thickness of any air space between layers. Under uncomplicated, steady-state conditions, thermal and mass fluxes are uniform within the garment, and the rate of transport is simply computed as the overall temperature or water concentration difference divided by the appropriate resistance. However, that simple computation is not valid under cool ambient conditions when the vapour permeability of the garment is low, and condensation occurs within the garment. Several recent studies have measured heat and vapour transport when condensation occurs within the garment (Richards, et al., 2002, and Havenith, et al., 2008). In addition to measuring cooling rates for ensembles when the skin was either wet or dry, both studies employed a flat-plate apparatus to measure resistances of individual layers. -
Advanced Organic Vapor Cycles for Improving Thermal Conversion Efficiency in Renewable Energy Systems by Tony Ho a Dissertation
Advanced Organic Vapor Cycles for Improving Thermal Conversion Efficiency in Renewable Energy Systems By Tony Ho A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering – Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ralph Greif, Co-Chair Professor Samuel S. Mao, Co-Chair Professor Van P. Carey Professor Per F. Peterson Spring 2012 Abstract Advanced Organic Vapor Cycles for Improving Thermal Conversion Efficiency in Renewable Energy Systems by Tony Ho Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Ralph Greif, Co-Chair Professor Samuel S. Mao, Co-Chair The Organic Flash Cycle (OFC) is proposed as a vapor power cycle that could potentially increase power generation and improve the utilization efficiency of renewable energy and waste heat recovery systems. A brief review of current advanced vapor power cycles including the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), the zeotropic Rankine cycle, the Kalina cycle, the transcritical cycle, and the trilateral flash cycle is presented. The premise and motivation for the OFC concept is that essentially by improving temperature matching to the energy reservoir stream during heat addition to the power cycle, less irreversibilities are generated and more power can be produced from a given finite thermal energy reservoir. In this study, modern equations of state explicit in Helmholtz energy such as the BACKONE equations, multi-parameter Span- Wagner equations, and the equations compiled in NIST REFPROP 8.0 were used to accurately determine thermodynamic property data for the working fluids considered. Though these equations of state tend to be significantly more complex than cubic equations both in form and computational schemes, modern Helmholtz equations provide much higher accuracy in the high pressure regions, liquid regions, and two-phase regions and also can be extended to accurately describe complex polar fluids. -

Compression of an Ideal Gas with Temperature Dependent Specific
Session 3666 Compression of an Ideal Gas with Temperature-Dependent Specific Heat Capacities Donald W. Mueller, Jr., Hosni I. Abu-Mulaweh Engineering Department Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne Fort Wayne, IN 46805-1499, USA Overview The compression of gas in a steady-state, steady-flow (SSSF) compressor is an important topic that is addressed in virtually all engineering thermodynamics courses. A typical situation encountered is when the gas inlet conditions, temperature and pressure, are known and the compressor dis- charge pressure is specified. The traditional instructional approach is to make certain assumptions about the compression process and about the gas itself. For example, a special case often consid- ered is that the compression process is reversible and adiabatic, i.e. isentropic. The gas is usually ÊÌ considered to be ideal, i.e. ÈÚ applies, with either constant or temperature-dependent spe- cific heat capacities. The constant specific heat capacity assumption allows for direct computation of the discharge temperature, while the temperature-dependent specific heat assumption does not. In this paper, a MATLAB computer model of the compression process is presented. The substance being compressed is air which is considered to be an ideal gas with temperature-dependent specific heat capacities. Two approaches are presented to describe the temperature-dependent properties of air. The first approach is to use the ideal gas table data from Ref. [1] with a look-up interpolation scheme. The second approach is to use a curve fit with the NASA Lewis coefficients [2,3]. The computer model developed makes use of a bracketing–bisection algorithm [4] to determine the temperature of the air after compression. -
Analysis of a CO2 Transcritical Refrigeration Cycle with a Vortex Tube Expansion
sustainability Article Analysis of a CO2 Transcritical Refrigeration Cycle with a Vortex Tube Expansion Yefeng Liu *, Ying Sun and Danping Tang University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China; [email protected] (Y.S.); [email protected] (D.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-21-55272320; Fax: +86-21-55272376 Received: 25 January 2019; Accepted: 19 March 2019; Published: 4 April 2019 Abstract: A carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration system in a transcritical cycle requires modifications to improve the coefficient of performance (COP) for energy saving. This modification has become more important with the system’s more and more widely used applications in heat pump water heaters, automotive air conditioning, and space heating. In this paper, a single vortex tube is proposed to replace the expansion valve of a traditional CO2 transcritical refrigeration system to reduce irreversible loss and improve the COP. The principle of the proposed system is introduced and analyzed: Its mathematical model was developed to simulate and compare the system performance to the traditional system. The results showed that the proposed system could save energy, and the vortex tube inlet temperature and discharge pressure had significant impacts on COP improvement. When the vortex tube inlet temperature was 45 ◦C, and the discharge pressure was 9 MPa, the COP increased 33.7%. When the isentropic efficiency or cold mass fraction of the vortex tube increased, the COP increased about 10%. When the evaporation temperature or the cooling water inlet temperature of the desuperheater decreased, the COP also could increase about 10%. The optimal discharge pressure correlation of the proposed system was established, and its influences on COP improvement are discussed. -

Polytropic Processes
Polytropic Processes a.cyclohexane.molecule November 2015 A polytropic process takes the general form of the common thermodynamic processes, and is defined by the equation n n n pV = C or p1V1 = p2V2 where n is an index we may manipulate to get our common thermodynamic processes. Source: nptel.ac.in Note: as n approaches 1, p has less and less influence; when n = 1, p has no influence and we thus have an isobaric process. Other n values (x in the graph) are possible, but not common. For a physical interpretation of these other values, check the Wikipedia page on polytropic processes. Because polytropic processes are general representations of thermodynamic pro- cesses, any quantities we calculate for a polytropic process will be a general equation for that quantity in all other thermodynamic processes. We proceed to find the work and heat associated with a polytropic process. We start with the definition of work: Z V2 w = − p dV V1 The polytropic equation pV n = C allows us to manipulate our formula for work in the following manner, as long as n 6= 1 V V Z 2 C Z 2 C V C V w = − dV = −C V −n dV = − V 1−n 2 = V 1−n 2 n V1 V1 V1 V V1 1 − n n − 1 Evaluating this expression, C CV 1−n − CV 1−n w = V 1−n − V 1−n = 2 1 n − 1 2 1 n − 1 n n We let the first C be p2V2 and the second C be p1V1 , such that the exponents cancel to obtain p V nV 1−n − p V nV 1−n p V − p V R(T − T ) w = 2 2 2 1 1 1 = 2 2 1 1 = 2 1 n − 1 n − 1 n − 1 where the last equality follows from the ideal gas law pV = RT and our deriva- tion for the work of a polytropic process is complete. -

Tirolien3 1Absolut System SAS, Seyssinet-Pariset, France 2Ofttech, Gloucester, United Kingdom 3European Space Agency, Noordwijk, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Several types of active cryocoolers have been developed for space and military applications in the last ten years. Performances and reliability continuously increase to follow the requirements evolution of new generations of satellite: less power consumption, more cooling capacity, increased life duration. However, in addition to this increase of performances and reliability, the microvibrations re- quirement becomes critical. In fact, with the development of vibration-free technologies, classical Earth Observation cryocoolers (Stirling, Pulse Tube) will become the main source of microvibra- tions on-board the satellite. A new generation cryocooler is being developed at Absolut System using very high speed turbomachines in order to avoid any generated perturbations below 1000 Hz. This development is performed in the frame of ESA Technical Research Program - 4000113495/15/NL/KML. This paper presents the status of this development project based on Reverse Brayton cycle with very high speed turbomachines. INTRODUCTION The space cryogenics sector is characterized by a large number of applications (detection, im- aging, sample conservation, propulsion, telecommunications etc.) that lead to various requirements (temperature range, microvibration, lifetime, power consumption etc.) that can be met by different solutions (Stirling or JT coolers, mechanical or sorption compressors etc.).

First and Second Law Evaluation of Combined Brayton-Organic Rankine Power Cycle
Journal of Thermal Engineering, Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 577-591, July, 2020 Yildiz Technical University Press, Istanbul, Turkey FIRST AND SECOND LAW EVALUATION OF COMBINED BRAYTON-ORGANIC RANKINE POWER CYCLE Önder Kaşka1, Onur Bor2, Nehir Tokgöz3* Muhammed Murat Aksoy4 ABSTRACT In the present work, we have conducted thermodynamic analysis of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) using waste heat from intercooler and regenerator in Brayton cycle with intercooling, reheating, and regeneration (BCIRR). First of all, the first law analysis is used in this combined cycle. Several outputs are revealed in this study such as the cycle efficiencies in Brayton cycle which is dependent on turbine inlet temperature, intercooler pressure ratios, and pinch point temperature difference. For all cycles, produced net power is increased because of increasing turbine inlet temperature. Since heat input to the cycles takes place at high temperatures, the produced net power is increased because of increasing turbine inlet temperature for all cycles. The thermal efficiency of combined cycle is higher about 11.7% than thermal efficiency of Brayton cycle alone. Moreover, the net power produced by ORC has contributed nearly 28650 kW. The percentage losses of exergy for pump, turbine, condenser, preheater I, preheater II, and evaporator are 0.33%, 33%, 22%, 23%, 6%, and16% respectively. The differences of pinch point temperature on ORC net power and efficiencies of ORC are investigated. In addition, exergy efficiencies of components with respect to intercooling pressure ratio and evaporator effectiveness is presented. Exergy destructions are calculated for all the components in ORC. Keywords: Brayton Cycle, Organic Rankine Cycle, Bottoming Cycle, Pinch Point Temperature, Waste Heat, Energy and Exergy Analysis INTRODUCTION Thermal energy systems as well as corresponding all parts have been challenged to improve overall efficiency due to lack of conventional fuels, reduce climate change and so on for recent years.
