Book Cogeneration

Download or read book Cogeneration written by David Flin and published by IET. This book was released on 2010 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there are two phrases we have come to know very well, they are 'environmental awareness' and 'credit crunch'. The world is looking for ways to decrease the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, without incurring major costs in doing so. By increasing efficiencies up to about 90 per cent using well-established and mature technologies, cogeneration represents the best option for short-term reductions in CO2 emission levels.

Book A Comparison of High Temperature Fuel Cells and Gas Turbines for Expansion of the MIT Cogeneration Plant

Download or read book A Comparison of High Temperature Fuel Cells and Gas Turbines for Expansion of the MIT Cogeneration Plant written by Headley Stewart Jacobus and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) All three fuel cells could be viable for distributed cogeneration around campus, but do not seem suitable for use in an expansion housed solely in Building 41. All three fuel cells require large footprints to produce the 11 MW called for in the planned plant expansion. These three fuel cells could be made more attractive for the MIT cogeneration plant by augmenting their thermal production with either direct natural firing in the fuel cell exhaust or coupling the fuel cell with a gas turbine. Fuel cells will increase the electrical efficiency of the gas turbine and, depending on the fuel cell, may also increase the overall efficiency of the gas turbine. Increasing overall efficiency will result in decreased CO2 emissions and decreased fuel costs for MIT.

Book Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts

Download or read book Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts written by Ashok Rao and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts Comprehensive and a fundamental approach to the study of sustainable fuel conversion for the generation of electricity and for coproducing synthetic fuels and chemicals Both electricity and chemicals are critical to maintain our modern way of life; however, environmental impacts have to be factored in to sustain this type of lifestyle. Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts provides a unified, comprehensive, and a fundamental approach to the study of sustainable fuel conversion in order to generate electricity and optionally coproduce synthetic fuels and chemicals. The book starts with an introduction to energy systems and describes the various forms of energy sources: natural gas, petroleum, coal, biomass, and other renewables and nuclear. Their distribution is discussed in order to emphasize the uneven availability and finiteness of some of these resources. Each topic in the book is covered in sufficient detail from a theoretical and practical applications standpoint essential for engineers involved in the development of the modern power plant. Sustainable Energy Conversion for Electricity and Coproducts features the following: Discusses the impact of energy sources on the environment along with an introduction to the supply chain and life cycle analyses in order to emphasize the holistic approach required for sustainability. Not only are the emissions of criteria pollutants addressed but also the major greenhouse gas CO2 which is essential for the overall sustainability. Deals with underlying principles and their application to engineering including thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat and mass transfer which form the foundation for the more technology specific chapters that follow. Details specific subjects within energy plants such as prime movers, systems engineering, Rankine cycle and the Brayton–Rankine combined cycle, and emerging technologies such as high-temperature membranes and fuel cells. Sustainable energy conversion is an extremely active field of research at this time. By covering the multidisciplinary fundamentals in sufficient depth, this book is largely self-contained suitable for the different engineering disciplines, as well as chemists working in this field of sustainable energy conversion.
