Adsorption Cycle

Presently, to enhance the thermal efficiency of a gas turbine power plant, turbine inlet air cooling (TIAC) is the widely used technique. The conventional refrigeration methods like vapor compression refrigeration and evaporative cooling need electric power, hence absorption and adsorption refrigeration systems are attractive options as they can be powered using the waste heat energy of the exhaust gases. Adsorption system has advantages over absorption system like scalability, requirement of lower heat source temperature, absence of corrosion and crystallization. This paper focuses on the thermodynamic analysis of waste heat powered adsorption chiller used for the cooling of intake air to enhance the net power output of the gas turbine power plant. This paper also presents a comparative analysis of the vapor-adsorption cycle-based TIAC system for four different refrigerants viz. HFC-134a, carbon dioxide, ethanol and ammonia with the motive of finding a substitute refrigerant for HFC-134a which has a high global warming potential (GWP). The adsorption chiller is mathematically modeled in MATLAB with activated carbon as the adsorbent and each one of carbon dioxide, ethanol and ammonia as the adsorbate. The variation of the coefficient of performance (COP) and specific cooling effect (SCE) with varying adsorption temperatures is presented for each pair. The net power output and primary energy rate (PER) improvement of the gas turbine power plant at different ambient temperatures are also discussed. It is observed that ammonia can improve the power plant performance significantly better compared to the other three refrigerants at ambient temperatures less than 40[Formula: see text]C.

The microstructural changes in an Fe-Co-V alloy (composition by wt.%: 2.97 V, 48.70 Co, 47.34 Fe and balance impurities, such as C, P and Ni) resulting from different heat treatments have been evaluated by optical metallography and transmission electron microscopy. Results indicate that, on air cooling or quenching into iced-brine from the high temperature single phase ϒ (fcc) field, vanadium can be retained in a supersaturated solid solution (α2) which has bcc structure. For the range of cooling rates employed, a portion of the material appears to undergo the γ-α2 transformation massively and the remainder martensitically. Figure 1 shows dislocation topology in a region that may have transformed martensitically. Dislocations are homogeneously distributed throughout the matrix, and there is no evidence for cell formation. The majority of the dislocations project along the projections of <111> vectors onto the (111) plane, implying that they are predominantly of screw character.

Ni-rich alloys based on approximate ternary composition Ni-8Mo-15A1 (at%) are presently under investigation in an attempt to study the contribution, if any, of the profusion of Mo-rich NixMo metastable compounds that these alloys contain to their excellent mechanical properties. One of the alloys containing metastable NixMo precipitates is RSR 197 of composition Ni-8.96Mo-15.06A1-1.98Ta-.015Yt. The alloy was prepared at Pratt and Whitney Government Products Division, West Palm Beach, Florida, from rapidly solidified powder. The powder was canned under inert conditions and extruded as rod at 1315°C. The as-extruded rod, after air cooling, was solution treated at 1315°C for two hours, air cooled, and heat treated for one hour at 815°C, followed again by air cooling.

Air Conditioning Systems

One of the ways to achieve safety and comfort is to improve on-board air conditioning systems.The use of air cooling machine determines the air pressure high level at the point of selection from the aircraft engine compressor. Because of the aircraft operation in different modes and especially in the modes of small gas engines, deliberately high stages of selection have to be used for ensuring proper operation of the refrigeration machine in the modes of the aircraft small gas engines. Into force of this, most modes of aircraft operation have to throttle the pressure of the selected stage of selection, which, together with the low efficiency of the air cycle cooling system, makes the currently used air conditioning systems energy inefficient.A key feature of the architecture without air extraction from the main engines compressors is the use of electric drive compressors as a source of compressed air.A comparative analysis of competing variants of on-board air conditioning system without air extraction from engines for longrange aircraft projects was performed at the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University).The article deals with the main approaches to the decision-making process on the appearance of a promising aircraft on-board air conditioning system at the stage of its conceptual design and formulated the basic requirements for the structure of a complex criterion at different life cycle stages.The level of technical and technological risk, together with a larger installation weight, will require significant costs for development, testing, debugging and subsequent implementation, but at the same time on-board air conditioning system scheme without air extraction from the engines will achieve a significant increase in fuel efficiency at the level of the entire aircraft.
