Supercritical Carbon

Two combined cycle engine cascade concepts are presented in this paper. The first uses a traditional open loop gas turbine engine (Brayton cycle) with a combustor as the topping cycle and a series of supercritical carbon dioxide (S–CO2) engines as intermediate cycles and a bottoming cycle. A global optimization of the engine design parameters was conducted to maximize the combined efficiency of all of the engines. A combined cycle efficiency of 65.0% is predicted. The second combined cycle configuration utilizes a fuel cell inside of the topping cycle in addition to a combustor. The fuel cell utilizes methane fuel. The waste heat from the fuel cell is used to heat the high pressure air. A combustor is also used to burn the excess fuel not usable by the fuel cell. After being heated, the high pressure, high temperature air expands through a turbine to atmospheric pressure. The low pressure, intermediate temperature exhaust air is then used to power a cascade of supercritical carbon dioxide engines. A combined efficiency of 73.1% using the fuel lower heating value is predicted with this combined fuel cell and heat engine device. Details of thermodynamics as well as the (S–CO2) engines are given.

Igcc Power Plant

The main idea of this research paper is to provide an innovative way of capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a coal powered power plant. This research paper discusses the design and modeling of a carbon capturing membrane which is being used in an IGCC power plant to capture carbon dioxide from its exhaust gases. The modeling and design of the membrane is done using CFD software namely Ansys workbench. The design and modeling is done using two simulations, one describes the design and structure and the second one demonstrates the working mechanism of the membrane. This paper also briefly discusses IGCC which is environmentally benign compared to traditional pulverized coal-fired power plants, and economically feasible compared to the Natural Gas Combine Cycle (NGCC). IGCC power plant is more diverse and offers flexibility in fuel utility. This paper also incorporates a PFD of integrated gasification power plant with the carbon capturing membrane unit integrated in it. Index Terms: Integrated gasification combined cycle power plant, Carbon capture and storage, Gas permeating membrane, CFD based design of gas permeating membrane.

This paper presents an investigation on the optimum design for a plate-fin heat exchanger (PFHE) of a gas and supercritical carbon dioxide combined cycle which uses thermal oil as intermediate heat-transfer fluid. This may promote the heat transfer from low heat-flux exhaust to a high heat-flux supercritical carbon dioxide stream. The number of fin layers, plate width and geometrical parameters of fins on both sides of PFHE are selected as variables to be optimized by a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), which is a multi-objective genetic algorithm. For the confliction of heat transfer area and pressure drop on the exhaust side, which are the objective indexes, the result of NSGA-II is a Pareto frontier. The technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach is applied to choose the optimum solution from the Pareto frontier. Finally, further simulation is performed to analyze the effect of each parameter to objective indexes and confirm the rationality of optimization results.
