WELL-INFORMED HEAT ENGINE: EFFICIENCY AND MAXIMUM POWER

Journal Article Finfgeld, C ; Machlup, S - American Journal of Physics (U.S.)

Further analysis is presented of a thought experiment due to Raymond, which permits an apparent violation of the second law of thermodynamics (the conversion of heat into work by a cyclic process), utilizing spontaneous fluctuations, and supplying the negentropy in the form of irformation obtained by counting. The thermodynamic efficiency of the heat engine itself is unity; considering the engine and counting demon together preserves the sanctity of the second law. An expression is derived for the power delivered by the engine, and the maximum value of this expression is studied as a function of the various parameters. (auth)

Exergy of the ocean thermal resource and the second-law efficiency of idealized ocean thermal-energy-conversion power cycles

Technical Report Johnson, D H

A formula is developed to compute the maximum amount of work which can be extracted from a given combined mass of warm and cold ocean water (a quantity called the exergy of the ocean thermal resource). The second-law efficiencies of various proposed ocean thermal energy conversion power cycles are compared to determine which best utilizes the exergy of the ocean thermal resource. The second-law efficiencies of the multicomponent working fluid cycle, the Beck cycle, and the open and closed single- and multiple-stage Rankine cycles are compared. These types of OTEC power plants are analyzed in a consistent manner which assumesmore »« less
