Chapter 13, Problem 13.3D

(choose chapter or problem)

As shown in Fig. P13.3D, the combustion products of two diesel engines, each generating electricity at a rate of 8900 kW, provide energy by heat transfer to a heat-recovery power cycle as the combustion products cool from \(350^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to a temperature no less than \(130^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). A preliminary study has identified two types of power cycles suited for such duty: an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and a Kalina Cycle. Of these cycle types, determine which technology is the better option thermodynamically, including identification of a working fluid if an ORC is selected. Fully document the analyses supporting your choice of technology. Report your findings in a PowerPoint presentation suitable for a technical audience.
