For the application of waste heat recovery (WHR), supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Brayton power cycles offer significant suitable advantages such as compactness, low capital cost and applicable to a broad range of heat source temperatures. The current study is focused on thermodynamic modelling and optimization of Recuperated (RC) and Recuperated Recompression (RRC) S-CO2 Brayton cycles for exhaust heat recovery from a next generation heavy duty simple cycle gas turbine using a genetic algorithm. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is mainly based on bio-inspired operators such as crossover, mutation and selection. This non-gradient based algorithm yields a simultaneous optimization of key S-CO2 Brayton cycle decision variables such as turbine inlet temperature, pinch point temperature difference, compressor pressure ratio. It also outputs optimized mass flow rate of CO2 for the fixed mass flow rate and temperature of the exhaust gas. The main goal of the optimization is to maximize power out of the exhaust stream which makes it single objective optimization. The optimization is based on thermodynamic analysis with suitable practical assumptions which can be varied according to the need of user. Further the optimal cycle design points are presented for both RC and RRC configurations and comparison of net power output is established for waste heat recovery.

Conservation of energy is the important factor from global point of view. Waste heat recovery has become significantly necessary and instant effort should be made to conserve this waste energy. Presently the refrigerator system rejects a lot of heat through condenser. This heat can be used for a variety of useful purposes. A multiuse refrigeration setup has been developed in which, both heating and cooling will be done simultaneously with the help of single vapour compression refrigeration cycle. It has a waste heat recovery system from the compressor for heating effect. Here without disturbing refrigeration cycle, the waste heat energy is used for useful work. The study has shown that such a system is technically feasible and economically viable. This concept has a scope of applications in variety of products such as air conditioners, freezers, water coolers and small scale refrigeration plants. This project leads to hybrid heating and cooling application with same vapour compression refrigeration system
