Abstract - Thermodynamic performances of transcritical N2O simple cooling and combined power cycles have been studied under steady state condition. The effect of influential parameters like temperature, gas cooler outlet temperature, turbine inlet temperature and gas heater pressure on COP and exergetic efficiency have been carried out.

It has been found that the thermodynamic performance of transcritical N2O combined power cycle is better than simple cooling cycle under all operating conditions. It is also noticed there is optimum exergetic efficiency at a particular evaporator temperature for both the cycles. A Grassmann diagram for N2O cooling and combined power cycles presented at a given operating condition.

Keywords - Cooling and power cycle, energy, exergy, grassmann diagram, N2O, transcritical.

The isentropic efficiency of the compressor and the turbine are taken as 75% and 80%, respectively. The effectiveness of IHEX-II is taken to be 0.7 and the mechanical efficiency of the compressor is taken as 80%. It is assumed that the gas is heated by 50 C in the IHEX-I as referred to [15]. The intermediate gas cooler pressure is taken as the geometric mean of inlet and outlet pressure of compressor. 4.1. EFFECT OF EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE ON THE PERFORMANCES OF SIMPLE AND COMBINED POWER N O CYCLES 2 Fig.5. Variation of COP with evaporator temperature for T3 = 308 K, T8 = 500 K and P = 170 Bar. Fig. 5 presents the variation of COP with evaporator temperature considering T3 = 308 K, T8 = 500 K and P = 170 bar respectively. As evaporator temperature increases the work input to compressor decreases and simultaneously cooling effect increases, hence COP increases for both N2O cooling and combined power cycles. However, the increase in COP of combined power cycle is better in comparison with simple cooling cycle due to power generation at turbine. Fig. 6 shows the variation of second law efficiency of N2O simple cooling and combined power cycles. The overall component exergy loss decreases up to optimum Fig.6. Percentage Exergetic efficiency with evaporator temperature evaporator temperature and then starts increasing, hence it for T3 = 308 K, T8 = 500 K and P = 170 Bar. is noticed that the second law efficiency initially increases and attains maximum values of 36.48% at evaporator 0 temperature of 276 C for N2O combined power cycle and 0 35.3% at 278 C evaporator temperatures for N2O cooling cycle. The exergetic efficiency starts decreasing with further increase of optimum evaporator temperature for both simple and combined power N2O cycles. 4.2. EFFECT OF GAS COOLER OUTLET

However, the variation in COP for N2O cooling cycle is relatively less in comparison to N2O combined power cycle due to lower refrigerating effect. Fig.8 presents the variation of exergetic efficiency with gas cooler outlet temperature for N2O cooling and combined power cycles. As overall component exergy loss increases with gas cooler outlet temperature, it is observed that the exergetic efficiency decreases with gas cooler outlet temperature for both the cycles. In N2O combined power cycle, the exergetic efficiency percentage decreases significantly in comparison to N2O cooling cycle.

4.3. EFFECT OF TURBINE INLET TEMPERATURE ON THE PERFORMANCES OF N2O COMBINED POWER CYCLE Fig. 9 presents the variation of COP with turbine inlet temperature. As turbine inlet temperature increases 460 K to 600 K, the turbine output increases in turn COP increases monotonically for N2O combined power cycle. Fig. 10 shows the effect of turbine inlet temperature on the exergetic efficiency on the N2O combined power cycle. The trend of the cycle increases monotonically with turbine inlet temperature due to additional exergy output at turbine, hence it improves exergetic efficiency. 4.4. EFFECT OF GAS HEATER PRESSURE ON THE PERFORMANCES OF N2O COMBINED POWER CYCLE Fig.11. COP variation with Gas heater pressure for Tevap = 275 K, Gas heater pressure which is the discharge pressure of T3 = 308 K and T8 =500 K. the compressor is an important parameter. Fig. 11 depicts the variation of COP with gas heater pressure. At higher gas heater pressure turbine works at high inlet temperature, it increases the turbine output and reduces the compressor work input, so COP increases monotonically with gas heater pressure for the N2O combined power cycle. Due to improvement of turbine work with gas heater pressure, the exergy output at turbine increases; hence it increases exergetic efficiency for N2O combined power cycle as shown in Fig. 12.

It is defined as the % exergy loss in components with respect to exergy input (100 %) to the compressor for simple cooling cycle and compressor, gas heater for combined power cycle. The operating conditions Fig.9. COP with turbine inlet temperature for Tevap = 275 K, T3 = 308 K and P = 175 Bar are taken as Tevap = 275 K, T3 = 308 K, T8=500 K and P = 175 bar for both the cycles. It is observed that 31.92 % exergy recovered at evaporator in simple cooling cycle, whereas 53.69% exergy recovered at evaporator and turbine in combined power cycle.
