Definitions
- This invention relates to the efficient production of energy by reusing heat added to a steady state system.
- thermodynamics The main objective of this work is to build vapor pressure power plants with a very high efficiency. Successful building of these plants will give direct practical answers to these questions and open so many others in the Science of thermodynamics.
- the present invention provides apparatus for the efficient production of energy comprising a plurality of energy production units connected in series, each unit comprising a turbine coupled to a generator for the output of useful energy, and the second and each subsequent energy production unit having heat exchange means for heat exchange between said energy production unit and the preceding energy production unit in the series, the ideal energy production units being connected substantially adiabatically such that a unit of heat energy provided to the first energy production unit in the series will lead to the output of useful work from the generator of said first energy production unit and each other energy production unit in the series.
- Table 1 provides the water vapor pressure for the energy production units of the preferred embodiment and the associated driving pressure;
- Table 2 provides information how this work operate in relation to the existing understanding to the relation between heat and work;
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Figure- 1 A is a schematic diagram of vapor pressure power plant (real data as example only), F- (Heat source as starter), 374* ⁇ 90 °C (Boilers' temperature), 217.72 - ⁇ 0.69 Bar (Boilers' vapor pressure), 33.65 • > 27.94 Bar (Turbines' driving pressure).
- Figure 2 is a details schematic representation of part of the apparatus shown in Figure 1 ;
- Figures 3a-3h are graphs showing heat and pressure build-up until apparatus reach steady state conditions
- Figures 4a-4h are graphs demonstrating how certain amount of heat added to the first boiler to generate work will be reused to generate the same amount of work from the other boilers in the series until heat reached the last heat exchanger where the mentioned amount of added heat must be terminated;
- Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the apparatus incorporated into an engine
- FIG. 1 shows a complex (chain) of vapor pressure power units, referred to hereinafter as vapor pressure power plants (cells) whose heat comes from one source of energy at or from the first boiler (B l).
- Each vapor pressure power cell is a simple cycle. The cycle is different from Rankine cycle, or any other similar cycles rely on the objective and the construction.
- the main objective from each boiler of each cell is to build a certain driving vapor pressure ( ⁇ P), via the coordination with other boilers.
- ⁇ P driving vapor pressure
- the general construction must be targeting to minimize any heat losses, from the system to the atmosphere.
- the main job of the turbines(Tl ⁇ Tn), is to transfer a certain pressure ( ⁇ P), of suitable working fluid to mechanical force.
- ⁇ P a certain pressure
- the working conditions (temperature and pressure) of the turbines will depend on their position in the chain. For the next explained reasons, at least now, I, would suggest mounting each turbine, at suitable position near the roof inside each boiler.
- the heat exchangers (Hl * ⁇ Hn-l), have multiple jobs (heat sink and heat source at the same time); heat sink for working fluid coming from the boiler before through its turbine, and as heat source for working fluid inside the boiler they are in.
- heat sink for working fluid coming from the boiler before through its turbine
- heat source for working fluid inside the boiler they are in.
- the generators (Glr ⁇ Gn) role is to transfer the related turbines mechanical force to electric energy.
- the starting heat source (F) is any suitable heat source (nuclear, fossil fuels, solar, etc.).
- This pressure ( ⁇ P1) is representing the driving pressure for turbine number one (TI), which is equivalent to the vapor pressure difference between boiler number one (Bl) and boiler number two (B2), also the required heat represent the temperature difference between boiler (Bl) and boiler (B2), which is in this particular case equal only to 25.2° F (14°C).
- this new Scientific Invention (stage one), will use only a fraction (about 1/7) of the fuel which, the energy sources of today is consuming to produce the same power.
- Heat is only a catalyst which enables (activate), suitable working fluids to do a useful work.
- Our main objective in this stage is not, how to recycle the added heat to the first boiler(Bl) after it is finishing its job by reaching the last boiler, but is there a way, where we can continue running our Vapor Pressure Plant (Figure 1), without continuing using our main heat source after reaching the steady state phenomenon.
- We will try to achieve this big objective by simply, equipping the first boiler (Bl) by suitable electrical heaters, and after reaching the steady state explained before we start feed the first boiler (Bl) by the needed energy using some of the electricity produced by our Vapor Pressure Plant (complex), as explained before.
- Table- 1 The Water Vapor Pressure for the Seven used Boilers as function of temperature, and the effective driving Pressure ( ⁇ P) for the Seven Turbines.
