Rankine Cycle & How to increase its efficiencyRaja Dolat
This document outlines the Rankine cycle and methods to increase the efficiency of steam power plants. The ideal Rankine cycle consists of four processes: an isentropic compression in a pump, isobaric heat addition in a boiler, isentropic expansion in a turbine, and isobaric heat rejection in a condenser. The thermal efficiency of the cycle can be increased by lowering the condenser pressure, increasing the boiler pressure, and superheating the steam to raise average temperatures. These modifications aim to increase the average fluid temperature during heat addition and decrease it during heat rejection.
Thermal power plants generate electricity through a Rankine cycle. Water is heated to produce steam that spins a turbine connected to a generator. The steam is then condensed and recycled. Variations include reheat cycles, which reheat steam between turbine stages to improve efficiency, and regenerative cycles, which use steam from turbines to preheat feedwater entering the boiler. The Rankine cycle is the most common thermodynamic cycle used in fossil fuel power plants due to practical considerations over the Carnot cycle. Modern plants can achieve over 40% efficiency using supercritical steam conditions above the water's critical point.

Improvement of rankine efficinecy of steam power plantsDhilip Pugalenthi
The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that generates about 80% of the world's electricity. It uses a heat source to boil water into high-pressure steam, which powers a turbine connected to an electric generator. The reduced-energy steam is then condensed into liquid water and pumped back to repeat the cycle. Improving the Rankine cycle involves increasing the steam temperature and pressure through techniques like superheating, reheating, and raising boiler pressure to boost efficiency. The cycle is limited by materials constraints but remains the dominant method for generating electricity from heat.

2) Reversible, adiabatic expansion of steam in the turbine.
3) Reversible heat rejection during condensation of steam in the condenser.
4) Reversible, adiabatic compression of the liquid in the pump back to the boiler pressure.
It notes that real processes are irreversible with entropy increases due to friction and heat transfer, reducing turbine work and efficiency. Losses occur in the turbine, condenser, pump and via piping. Superheating improves efficiency but is limited by material temperatures.

The Brayton cycle is ideally suited for gas turbine engines. It was first proposed by George Brayton in 1870 for a reciprocating oil engine. In a gas turbine, air is compressed and heated at constant pressure before expanding through the turbine to produce power. While real gas turbines operate through an open cycle, their ideal process can be modeled as a closed Brayton cycle consisting of isentropic compression, constant-pressure heat addition, isentropic expansion, and constant-pressure heat rejection. This closed-cycle representation allows the thermodynamic analysis of gas turbines.

It describes that boilers are classified based on factors like the relative position of water and hot gases (fire tube or water tube), axis of shell (vertical or horizontal), pressure of steam (low, medium, high, supercritical), method of water circulation (natural or forced), number of drums (single or multi), nature of draught (natural, forced, induced or balanced) and more. Common types include fire tube boilers like Cochran and water tube boilers like Babcock & Wilcox. Tank (Scotch) boilers still see use for low quantity, low quality steam needs like tank heating in port.

Lecture 16b Chemical Reactions and CombustionSijal Ahmed
1. Theoretical and actual combustion processes can result in either complete or incomplete combustion depending on factors like oxygen availability, mixing, and dissociation.
2. Stoichiometric or theoretical air is the minimum amount of air needed for complete combustion of a fuel. More air results in excess air and a fuel-lean mixture while less air creates a fuel-rich mixture.
3. Equivalence ratio compares the actual fuel-air ratio to the stoichiometric fuel-air ratio, with a ratio of 1 representing stoichiometric combustion.
Lecture 15d - Air conditioning processes Sijal Ahmed
This document discusses air conditioning processes including simple heating, simple cooling, humidification, and dehumidification. It provides equations for the energy balance of these processes and describes how they are combined to bring air to desired temperature and humidity conditions. Specific examples covered include heating with humidification, cooling with dehumidification, evaporative cooling, adiabatic mixing of air streams, and wet cooling towers.
The document discusses psychrometric charts which graphically represent all the properties of atmospheric air, including temperature, humidity, and other properties, on a single chart that is usually at 1 atmospheric pressure. Psychrometric charts allow users to easily see the relationships between different air properties and perform calculations involving changes in conditions like heating and cooling of air.
The document discusses vapor-gas mixtures and air conditioning. It defines key temperature measurements including dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and dew point temperature. Wet bulb temperature is the temperature air would reach if cooled by evaporation until saturated. Dew point is the saturation temperature corresponding to vapor pressure. The document also examines adiabatic saturation temperature, which is the temperature of air at 100% relative humidity after passing through a long channel without heat transfer. It notes that adiabatic saturation temperature and wet bulb temperature are almost equal numerically for common applications.
Dry air and water vapor combine to form atmospheric air. The pressure of the dry air and water vapor pressure together make up the total pressure of the air mixture. Specific humidity is the ratio of mass of water vapor to total mass of air, while relative humidity is the ratio of actual water vapor pressure to saturation water vapor pressure. The enthalpy of atmospheric air depends on the enthalpies of dry air and water vapor as well as their relative quantities based on specific and relative humidity.

This document discusses methods for improving the efficiency of low pressure turbines (LPT) in modern turbofan engines. LPT efficiency directly impacts overall engine efficiency, so increasing LPT efficiency by 1% can increase total engine efficiency by 1%. One way to improve LPT efficiency is to increase the loading on the turbine blades, but beyond a certain point this causes separation of the air from the blade surfaces. Both active and passive methods are used to control this separation, but they have disadvantages like added complexity, losses, and costs. The document proposes studying the effect of wakes from upstream non-axisymmetric vortex generator (NGV) blades on separation in the LPT blades, as these wakes may help control separation more effectively.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
