  1. ENGINES, REFRIGERATORS, AND HEAT PUMPS This lecture highlights aspects in Chapters 9,10,11 of Cengel and Boles. Every thermodynamic device has moving parts. To understand these movements, it is important that you watch some videos on the Internet. I will go through these slides in two 90-minutes lectures. Zhigang Suo, Harvard University

  2. How humans tell each other something? • The thing itself • Pictures • Words • Equations • Language • Books • Movies • The Internet

  3. Thermodynamics =heat + motionToo many devices to classify neatly • Fuel (input):biomass, fossil, solar thermal, geothermal, nuclear, electricity. • Application (output): mobile power plant (transpiration in air, land, sea), stationary power plant (electricity generation), refrigerator, heat pump. Power cycle, refrigeration cycle. • Working fluid: Gas cycle (air), vapor cycle (steam, phase change). • Fluid-solid coupling: piston engine (reciprocating, crankshaft), turbine engine (jet, compressor). • Site of burning: external combustion, internal combustion.

  8. Spark-ignition engine (gasoline engine, petrol engine, Otto engine)

  9. Air-standard assumptions • Model the engine as a closed system, and the working fluid as air (an ideal gas). • The cycle is internally reversible. • Model combustion by addingheat from an external source • Model exhaust by rejecting heat to an external sink

  10. Cold air-standard assumption Model air as an ideal gas of constant specific heat at room temperature(25°C). 2 independent variables to name all states of thermodynamic equilibrium 6 functions of state: PTvush 4 equations of state Gibbs equation

  23. Air as an ideal gas of variablespecific heat See section 7.9 for the use of this table

  24. Plan • Internal combustion engines • Gas turbines • Stirling and Ericsson engines • Vapor power cycle • Refrigeration cycle

  25. Displacer-type Stirling engine https://www.stirlingengine.com/faq/

  26. Stirling engine and regenerator (1816) reversible cycle between two fixed temperatures, having the Carnot efficiency https://people.ok.ubc.ca/jbobowsk/Stirling/how.html

  27. Stirling vs. Carnotfor given limits of volume, pressure, and temperature • On PV plane, the black area represents the Carnot cycle, and shaded areas represent addition work done by the Stirling cycle. • On TS plane, the black area represents the Carnot cycle, and the shaded areas represent additional heat taken in by the Stirling cycle. • The Stirling cycle and the Carnot cycle have the same thermal efficiency. • The Stirling cycle take in more heat and give more work than the Carnot cycle. Walker, Stirling Engine, 1980.

  28. Work out by Stirling cycle Specific work Specific gas constant

  35. Why water? Why steam? • Water is cheap. • Water flows! • Water is a liquid at the temperature of heat sink (rivers, lakes,...). • Vaporization changes specific volume greatly: a lot of work at relatively low pressure. https://www.ohio.edu/mechanical/thermo

  36. Rankine cycle 4 steady-flow components: isobaric and isentropic wpump,in = h2 - h1 qboiler,in = h3 - h2 wturbine,out = h3 – h4 qcondenser,out = h4 – h1 P qboiler,in 2 3 wturbine,out wpumo,in 1 4 qcondenser, out s

  37. Rankin cycle has small back work ratio

  38. Carnot cycle is unsuitable as vapor power cycle Issues with the in-dome Carnot cycle Process 1-2 limits the maximum temperature below the critical point (374°C for water) Process 2-3. The turbine cannot handle steam with a high moisture content because of the impingement of liquid droplets on the turbine blades causing erosion and wear. Process 4-1. It is not practical to design a compressor that handles two phases. Issues with supercritical Carnot cycle Process 1-2 requires isothermal heat transfer at variable pressures. Process 4-1 requires isentropic compression to extremely high pressures.

  39. Cogeneration

  40. Plan • Internal combustion engines • Gas turbines • Stirling and Ericsson engines • Vapor power cycle • Refrigeration cycle

  41. Refrigerator and heat pump 4 steady-flow components

  42. Selecting Refrigerant • Large enthalpy of vaporization • Sufficiently low freezing temperature • Sufficiently high critical temperature • Low condensing pressure • Do no harm: non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable, environmentally-friendly • Low cost • R-717 (Ammonia, NH3) used in industrial and heavy-commercial sectors. Toxic. • R-12 (Freon 12, CCl2F2). Damage ozone layer. Banned. • R-134a (HFC 134a, CH2FCF3) used in domestic refrigerators, as well as automotive air conditioners.

  43. Summary • Engine converts fuel to motion. • Refrigerator and heat pump use work to pump heat from a place of low temperature to a place of high temperature. • Many ideal cycles are internally reversible, but externally irreversible. • Stirling and Ericsson cycles are internally and externally reversible, so they have the same thermal efficiency as the Carnot cycle. • Use ideal-gas model to analyze gas as working fluid. • Use property table to analyze vapor as working fluid. • Model piston engine as a closed system (Otto, Diesel, Stirling, Ericsson). • Model turbine (or compressor) device as steady-flow components in series (Brayton cycle, Rankine cycle, refrigeration cycle).
