A new combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system is proposed. This system is driven by solar energy, which is different from the current CCHP systems with gas turbine or engine as prime movers. This system combines a Rankine cycle and an ejector refrigeration cycle, which could produce...

The biomass fuel is a renewable energy resource, which is viewed as a promising alternative to fossil energy. This paper investigates a biomass-fired Kalina cycle with a regenerative heater which is generally utilized to heat the feedwater and to increase the efficiency in coal-fired steam power...

Organic Rankine cycle can effectively recover the low grade heat source due to its distinctive thermodynamic performance. Based on the thermodynamic mathematical models of an ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system, this study examines the effects of key thermodynamic design parameters, including...

The thermodynamic analysis and the coupling and optimization between chemical synthesis and power generation in a polygeneration system are presented. Unlike full conversion of syngas into chemicals in the traditional SNG (synthetic natural gas) production system, by moderate conversion the...
