Definitions
- the devices of the present disclosures are novel types of heat engines, to include turbines, which take advantage of chemically reacting working fluid components to significantly improve thermal efficiency.
- the stated engines When operated under select conditions, determined by a described method for optimization, the stated engines are shown to have superior thermal efficiency and work output per mole of working fluid per cycle compared to conventional engines of the same class operating over the same temperature range.
- Particular emphasis is given to the Stirling engine embodiment, as the calculations involved in theoretically optimizing the thermal efficiency of this embodiment are relatively simple and demonstrate the principles of the present invention in an intuitive manner.
- state space diagrams which plot the path of cycles in state space, present a geometric method for calculating energy changes in the working fluid throughout the course of a cycle.
- State space diagrams by convention and for simplicity in relating to real systems, plot intensive variables on the ordinate axis and extensive variables on the subordinate axis.
- An example is the Pressure-Volume (P-V) diagram. Integrating the area under each step of the curve on a state space diagram, moving in the appropriate direction, will provide the energy change for that step. In this manner, the magnitude of work invested in fluid compression is subtracted from the magnitude of work spontaneously evolved from fluid expansion, in order to yield the net useful work from the cycle.
- P-V Pressure-Volume
- the ideal Stirling engine converts thermal energy to mechanical energy with isothermal work and contains a working fluid which follows the ideal gas law. Therefore, the magnitude of the work for fluid expansion or compression can be described by the well-known relation of ideal isothermal work ( W ), expressed by Equation 2 , to the molar quantity of fluid ( n ), the gas constant ( R ), and the ratio of final volume to initial volume commonly referred to as a compression ratio ( C ).
- W nRT ln C
- engine operating points and design parameters are chosen via a particular method, elsewhere described in this disclosure, in order to create a net efficiency gain, relative to that of a conventional Stirling engine.
- Increased efficiency is achieved when the engine is operated with particular concentrations of particular working fluid components, at particular compression ratios, and with select heat source and heat sink temperatures, which depend on the particular details of the selected working fluid components.
- the heat exchanger/regenerator is designed for sufficient recovery, by the regenerative heat exchange process, of the extra energy required for accomplishing chemical reaction of the working fluid, so that a net increase in useful work output and engine efficiency is accomplished at the selected operating points and for the selected engine design parameters.
- Equation 11 ⁇ is the effective degree of dissociation, which is a function of the theoretical degree of dissociation and the irreversible losses from reaction during isothermal expansion, and C U is an empirical measure of the efficiency of mechanical and heat exchange components.
- ⁇ th C U ⁇ 1 - 1 ⁇ ⁇ T C T H
- the working fluid is a mixture containing dinotrogen tetroxide (N 2 O 4 ) and nitrosyl bromide (NOBr), with which the behavior of the NOBr and the common dissociation product of the two reactions nitric oxide (NO), suppresses the competing reaction for N 2 O 4 (NO and O 2 dissociation).
- N 2 O 4 dinotrogen tetroxide
- NOBr nitrosyl bromide
