  • Optimization of staged rankine energy conversion cycles for high efficiency

    Creator:
    Simmons, Larry Dean
    Abstract:
    Because of the fuel crisis and problems associated with thermal pollution there is new impetus and urgency for developing more efficient energy conversion systems for power generation. A preliminary analysis was undertaken to determine the potential of staged Rankine cycle systems for substantially higher efficiency. It was necessary to optimize...
