| description | Refrigeration and power are the most desirable requirements in commercial places and offices. Goswami cycle is one of the solutions to generate power and refrigeration simultaneously with less pollution. In the Goswami cycle, the power and refrigeration streams are connected in series, the refrigeration output is limited in a series arrangement. In the present study, parallel streams are proposed to improve the performance of the cycle. In the Goswami cycle, the saturated vapour is enriched for power and refrigeration. In the present study, the saturated vapour is used for the power generation, the saturated liquid is flashed to the intermediate pressure, and the generated wet vapours are enriched for refrigeration processes. It is observed that power generation is increasing with an increase in dryness fraction and the fall in basic solution concentration, whereas the refrigeration effect is growing with the fall in dryness fraction and increase in basic solution concentration. The modified cycle is consistently generating higher output than the conventional cycle. The thermal efficiency of the Kalina flash cycle is 29.05% higher and the exergy efficiency is 5.61% lesser than the Goswami cycle. |
