  • exergy based ecological optimization for a four temperature level absorption heat pump with heat resistance heat leakage and Internal Irreversibility
    International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2019
    Co-Authors: Lingen Chen, Xiaoyong Qin, Zhihui Xie
    Abstract:

    Abstract Based on irreversible four-temperature-level (FTL) cycle models, an ecological criterion function of absorption heat pump (AHP) plants is proposed. This function can attain a compromise in inter restricted relations between exergy output and exergy loss of AHP plants. Relations among ecological function, coefficient of performance (COP), heating load, exergy output and exergy loss, and various loss factors are derived. Simplified relations are derived when various Irreversibility factors can be ignored. The exergy-based ecological characteristics are analyzed through numerical examples. The results can provide some new suggestions about parameter selection for practical AHP plants.

  • effect of specific heat variations on irreversible otto cycle performance
    International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2018
    Co-Authors: Yanlin Ge, Lingen Chen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Considering Internal Irreversibility loss, friction loss and heat transfer loss, an irreversible Otto cycle model is built up by using finite-time thermodynamics with air standard assumption. Using the various irreversible losses in the cycle to compute the entropy generation rate, the optimal ecological function performance of the cycle is studied when the specific heats of working fluid are nonlinear relation with its temperature. Some important expressions, including ecological function, entropy generation rate, efficiency and power output, are obtained. The cycle ecological function performances with constant specific heats, specific heats changed with linear and nonlinear relations of its temperature are compared. Moreover, the impacts of Internal Irreversibility loss, friction loss and heat transfer loss on ecological function performance are analyzed. The results show that optimization of the exergy-based ecological function not only represents a compromise between the power output and the rate of entropy generation but also represents a compromise between the power output and the thermal efficiency, the specific heat models have no qualitative effect and only have quantitative effect on the performance characteristics of ecological function versus power output and ecological function versus efficiency, and the ecological function, power output and efficiency decrease with the increase of heat transfer, friction and Internal Irreversibility losses.

  • work output and thermal efficiency optimization for an irreversible meletis georgiou cycle with heat transfer loss and Internal Irreversibility
    Applied Thermal Engineering, 2017
    Co-Authors: Lingen Chen, Chang Liu, Huijun Feng
    Abstract:

    Abstract An irreversible model of Meletis-Georgiou cycle (MGC) is investigated in this paper. Finite time thermodynamic (FTT) theory is introduced, and Internal Irreversibility of the cycle (IIC) and heat transfer loss (HTL) are considered. The expressions of the work output (WO) and thermal efficiency (TE) of the MGC are obtained, and they are maximized with respect to the volume ratios. The effects of the IIC on the WO and TE are analyzed, and the optimal cycle performances are obtained. It shows that the compression ratio (CR) has its optimal value, which makes the WO or TE reach to its maximum. Therefore, the relationship between WO and TE is loop-shaped one, which is coincidence with the performance of real engine. The results enrich the theoretical studies of the rotary engine and provide some guidelines for practical devices.

  • exergy based ecological performance of an irreversible otto cycle with temperature linear relation variable specific heat of working fluid
    European Physical Journal Plus, 2017
    Co-Authors: Yanlin Ge, Lingen Chen
    Abstract:

    Considering Internal Irreversibility loss (IIL), friction loss (FL) and heat transfer loss (HTL), an irreversible Otto cycle (IOC) model is built up by using air standard (AS) assumption. Based on finite-time thermodynamics (FTT), computing entropy generation rate (EGR) by using the irreversible losses in the cycle, the ecological function (EF) performance of the cycle is optimized when the specific heat (SH) of the working fluid (WF) varies with temperature with linear relation. Some important expressions, including efficiency, power output, EGR and EF, are obtained. Moreover, the effects of variable SH of WF and three losses on cycle performance are investigated. The research conclusion can provide some guidelines for the actual Otto cycle engine performance optimization.

  • performance improvement of a direct carbon solid oxide fuel cell through integrating an otto heat engine
    Energy Conversion and Management, 2018
    Co-Authors: Haoran Xu, Bin Chen, Houcheng Zhang, Jinliang Yuan, John T S Irvine, Meng Ni
    Abstract:

    Abstract A novel system consisting of an external heat source, a direct carbon solid oxide fuel cell (DC-SOFC), a regenerator and an air standard Otto cycle engine is proposed to improve the performance of the DC-SOFC. Considering the electrochemical/chemical reactions, ionic/electronic charge transport, mass/momentum transport and heat transfer, a 2D tubular DC-SOFC model shows that the overall heat released in the cell can be smaller than, equal to or larger than the heat required by the Internal Boudouard reaction. Three different operating modes of the proposed system are identified, and accordingly, analytical expressions for the equivalent power output and efficiency of the proposed system are derived under different operating conditions. The modeling results show that the Otto heat engine can effectively recover the waste heat from the DC-SOFC for additional power production especially at large operating current density. Comprehensive parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effects of the different operating conditions of DC-SOFC on its performance and heat generation. The effects of compression ratio, Internal Irreversibility factor and power dissipation of the Otto heat engine on the system performance improvement are also studied.

    Journal of The Energy Institute, 2011
    Co-Authors: Huijun Feng, Leida Chen
    Abstract:

    AbstractThe performance of an irreversible universal steady flow heat pump cycle model with variable temperature heat reservoirs is analysed and optimised by using finite time thermodynamics. The universal heat pump cycle consists of two heat absorbing branches, two heat releasing branches and two irreversible adiabatic branches, with the losses of heat resistance and Internal Irreversibility.

    Revista Mexicana De Fisica, 2010
    Co-Authors: Huijun Feng
    Abstract:

    The optimal performance of a class of generalized irreversible universal steady flow heat pump cycle model, which consists of two heatabsorbing branches, two heat-releasing branches and two irreversible adiabatic branches with the losses of heat-resistance, heat leakage and Internal Irreversibility is analyzed by using finite time thermodynamics. The analytical formulae about heating load, coefficient of performance (COP), exergy loss rate, exergy output rate and ecological function of the universal heat pump cycle are derived. Moreover, performance comparisons among maximum COP condition, a given exergy output rate condition and maximum ecological function condition are carried out by using numerical examples. It is shown that the ecological function objective is an excellent candidate objective with the ideal of an ecological and long-term goal. The effects of heat leakage and Internal Irreversibility on the cycle performance are discussed. The universal cycle model gives a unified description of seven heat pump cycles, and the results obtained include the performance characteristics of Brayton, Otto, Diesel, Atkinson, Dual, Miller and Carnot heat pump cycles with the losses of heat-resistance, heat leakage and Internal Irreversibility.

The steady state of the refrigerator working at the maximum ecological function is steady. It is derived that a general expression of relaxation time described as stability of the system refers to heat capacity C , total heat exchange area F , temperature ratio of heat reservoirs τ , the degree of Internal Irreversibility ϕ , heat transfer coefficients α and β . Distributing information of phase portraits of system is obtained. The results can provide some theoretical guidelines for the designs of practical refrigerator.

  • ecological optimization of an irreversible otto cycle
    Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, 2013
    Co-Authors: Lingen Chen, Fengrui Sun
    Abstract:

    The optimal ecological performance of an irreversible air-standard Otto cycle with heat transfer, friction and Internal Irreversibility is analyzed by using finite-time thermodynamics. The relations between the ecological function and the power output as well as between the ecological function and the efficiency of the cycle are derived by detailed numerical examples. Moreover, the effects of Internal Irreversibility, heat transfer loss and friction loss on the cycle performance are analyzed. The results indicate that the optimization of the exergy-based ecological function not only represents a compromise between the power output and the rate of entropy generation but also represents a compromise between the power output and the thermal efficiency. This work can provide guidelines for the design of practical Internal combustion engines.

The optimal ecological performance of the heat engine in the classical limit is analyzed with numerical examples. The effects of Internal Irreversibility and heat leakage on ecological performance are discussed in detail.

    Abstract:

    SYNOPSIS The finite time exergoeconomic performance of a Newtonian law system generalised irreversible Carnot refrigeration cycle with heat resistance, heat leakage and Internal Irreversibility is investigated in this paper. The operation of the generalised irreversible Carnot refrigeration cycle is viewed as a production process with exergy as its output.
