ECOP Based Comparative Study of Thermodynamic Cycles

Abstract

This study extends the application of thermo-ecological optimization technique for different thermodynamic cycles such as Brayton, Rankine, Otto. The ECOP function for these cycles will be developed and tested for efficiencies and entropy generations. And graphical representation of these developed ECOP functions will be presented in terms of governing parameters. The comparisons of all common cycles are presented by using finite-time ecological optimization.
