…to defray CCS energy penalties? We consider the IRRs on additional heat exchangers, organic Rankine cycles and supplying medium-temperature water for district heating on pages 8-9. This analysis suggests that…
…longer be tempted to commit exergetic harakiri by converting ratable electricity into some fuel that you can then run through a heat engine. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/01/12/thermodynamics-carnot-rankine-brayton-beyond/ How does that work? Frankly, some…
…hinging on the enthalpy of hot fluids (page 8), avoiding the energy costs of pumps (page 9) via thermosiphons (page 10), prioritizing heat rather than Rankine cycle power (pages 11-12),…
…and therefore have 2-7% module-level efficiencies for thermoelectric generators, through to 0.5-5x Coefficients of Performance for thermoelectric cooling. Today’s efficiency factors are generally lower than Organic Rankine Cycles and much…
…heat from an ambient source to a hot sink. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/01/12/thermodynamics-carnot-rankine-brayton-beyond In conclusion, you can think about the encoding and forgetting a bit of information as a kind of thermodynamic cycle,…
