Modeling and optimization of a combined cycle Stirling-ORC system and design of an integrated microchannel Stirling heat rejector

Creator:

Ingram-Goble, Robbie

Abstract:

The performance of a combined Stirling-ORC power cycle is evaluated, and an integrated microchannel heat exchanger is designed as an annular cold-side heat rejector for a free piston Stirling engine. Reasonable designs for a combined cycle can increased power output efficiency by 3 - 9% compared to that of a...

Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

Creator:

Seward, Ryan

Abstract:

The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...
