SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 6, No. 2 (June 2013), pp. 766-776 (11 pages) ABSTRACT A novel combined power and cooling cycle based on the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and the Compression ...

Steam gets scary in many ways at very high temperatures, and a Rankine cycle isn't all that efficient (although can be (and generally is) improved with "reheat" cycles ... which are needed in the ...

Finite-time thermodynamics (FTT) is an advanced field that addresses the inherent irreversibilities associated with real-world energy conversion processes. Unlike classical thermodynamics which ...

Virtually everyone in the power, chemical process, and other industries is no doubt aware of the greatly expanded efforts to lower carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources. This concern ...

Elementary classical thermodynamics, applications of the first law and the second laws of thermodynamics to power and refrigeration cycles, mixtures and solutions, thermodynamic relations, chemical ...
