Design Procedure of Heat Recovery Unit for Combined Heat and Power System
Cogeneration & Distributed Generation Journal, 2009Co-Authors: Bimaldeep Kaur, Theodore A. KozmanAbstract:ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to put together a combined heat and power (CHP) system for the College of Engineering at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette by integrating the Solar Turbine unit with the Thermax absorption chiller. To achieve this, a heat exchanger is designed using a theoretical methodology called the Bell-Delaware method. This method helped obtain the basic dimensions of the heat exchanger. A general design procedure is developed and some of the design decisions are discussed. Future scope of the work includes constructing the heat exchanger designed in this work and the practical integration of the equipment, to finally setting up a CHP system that would meet the chilling needs of the university.

A theoretical study of a thermosyphon Solar Turbine
Solar Energy, 1995Co-Authors: S.e. Perez, B.j. Tooker, T. BussiAbstract:In this paper, we study the feasibility of generating power with very tall Solar collectors and the thermosyphon effect. The vertical collectors are heated by sunlight and open to the atmosphere at the top and bottom, resulting in rapid air flows through the collectors. This moving air can then be used to drive Turbines for generating electric power. We find that the efficiency of such a device increases with its height, and that the length of the unit does not affect efficiency. We also find that, to achieve an acceptable level of efficiency, the device must be extremely tall; we calculate a conversion efficiency (percentage of the Solar radiation received that can be converted to mechanical power) of 0.2% for collectors 100 meters in height, and 1.6% for 500-meter tall collectors. We calculate that a 500-meter tall collector, 160 meters in length, could generate about 1 MWatt of power if 800 W/m{sup 2} of Solar radiation are absorbed by the collector. The efficiency of the collector also depends on the number and size of the Turbines - there is an optimal combination of these for a given Solar intensity, collector length, and collector height. We find that the Solar intensitymore » has little effect upon efficiency power generated is directly proportional to Solar intensity. 7 refs., 5 figs.« less

2010Co-Authors: Mohamad Yazid, Mohamad YassinAbstract:This report shows the design and fabrication of a Solar Turbine. The objective of the report is to develop the procedures to design and fabricate a prototype Solar Turbine to generate energy. This report also describes the ideas and products of current Solar Turbines which are available around the world. Design generation is showed and solid three dimensional structures modelling of the Solar Turbine was developed with computer aided design software. Material selection and the reason behind the selection are shown based on criteria predetermined. Based on the selection, aluminium alloy and mild steel is selected. The result from the testing of the Solar Turbine shows that the Solar Turbine able to generate electricity. Ideas of improvement for the Solar Turbine also provided to further improve the Solar Turbine.

how to transform an asphalt concrete pavement into a Solar Turbine
Applied Energy, 2014Co-Authors: Alvaro Garcia, Manfred N PartlAbstract:Asphalt concrete can absorb a considerable amount of the incident Solar radiation. For this reason asphalt roads could be used as Solar collectors. There have been different attempts to achieve this goal. All of them have been done by integrating pipes conducting liquid, through the structure of the asphalt concrete. The problem of this system is that all pipes need to be interconnected: if one is broken, the liquid will come out and damage the asphalt concrete. To overcome these limitations, in this article, an alternative concept is proposed:parallel air conduits, where air can circulate will be integrated in the pavement structure. The idea is to connect these artificial pore volumes in the pavement to an updraft or to a downdraft chimney. Differences of temperature between the pavement and the environment can be used to create an air flow, which would allow wind Turbines to produce an amount of energy and that would cool the pavement down in summer or even warm it up in winter. To demonstrate that this is possible, an asphalt concrete prototype has been created and basics calculations on the parameters affecting the system have been done. It has been found that different temperatures, volumes of air inside the asphalt and the difference of temperature between the asphalt concrete and the environment are critical to maximize the air flow through the pavement. Moreover, it has been found that this system can be also used to reduce the heat island effect.
