Based on renewable energy, several configurations of hybrid power cycles are discussed and summarized. It includes the technical, economical, and environmental aspects of the hybrid solar-biomass plant, how the hybrid power plant works, and the essential resources required for the setup and running of the hybrid solar biomass plant. The advantages and disadvantages associated with the single renewable resource-based power plants are also discussed. The hybrid power plants help rectify the disadvantages over single resource plants, improve the power production rate of the plant, and help it run over seasonally. The present paper also discussed the solar and biomass potential in the Indian context and compared the progress of the hybrid solar-biomass power generation system with other countries.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are taken in a quantity of 105 and 45 mg/l and are mixed with diesel–biodiesel fuel sample by using the ultrasonicator. N-butyl alcohol (1% by volume) is also added in nanoparticles dispersed fuel sample to increase the nanoparticles’ stability into diesel–biodiesel fuel blend. The experiment is performed on the diesel engine at 1500 rpm which is kept constant throughout the experiment. The results obtained from the experiment show clearly that by adding the nanoparticles, namely TiO2 and MWCNT into the diesel–biodiesel fuel mixture (i.e. B40T105MWCNT45), there is a significant improvement of 27.6 and 10.3% in the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) as compared to B100 and diesel. Also, the reduction of 22.8 and 20.4% in NOx; 22.4 and 27.9% in CO; 35.8 and 52.7% in HC is observed when compared to B100 and diesel.

Gas turbine cycle power plants are being extensively used for power generation across the world. ... more Gas turbine cycle power plants are being extensively used for power generation across the world. The variation in temperature and humidity of atmospheric air significantly affects the plant performance of naturally aspirated compressors in gas turbine based installations. There occurs the deviation in temperature from less than 5C to more than 45C and relative humidity variation from less than 24% to more than 81% in tropical countries. Gas turbine output is a strong function of the ambient air temperature with its’ power output dropping by 0.5-0.9% for every 1C rise in ambient temperature due to air density becoming smaller on hot days. Inlet air cooling is one of the options for maintaining the temperature of admitting air in desired limits. There are various options for inlet air conditioning such as the cooling by evaporative coolers, absorption cooling etc. In this paper a study is undertaken for the analysis of the effect of humidity and compressor inlet temperature on the per...

The features of SOFC which led it to be considered as an effective method for the future hybrid power plants to generate power is its high operating temperature, expected to generate clean electrical energy at promising conversion rates with lower emissions of poisonous gas (NOx and SOx). Present paper studies the thermodynamic analysis of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell based on simple gas turbine cycle utilizing the waste heat of gas turbine to preheat the air entering the SOFC. Natural gas is utilized as fuel for this system. Heat recovery systems are used in the cycle to utilize the waste heat from SOFC and GT exhausts. Released gases from SOFC, are also utilized as secondary supply for the combustion chamber. Due to SOFC high operating temperature, less fuel is used to burn inside the combustion chamber that enhances its efficienc...

The cooling technique adopted for inlet air is evaporative cooling. Thermal efficiency, work output, compressor work has been chosen as some output parameters while turbine-inlet-temperature, pressure ratio, and ambient temperature are the input variables. The results have been plotted in terms of meaningful graphs. The study reveals that as TIT and pressure ratio is increased, thermal efficiency and net-work output increases and the evaporative cycle has a higher efficiency (variance ~1–2.5%) in comparison to the basic cycle. Also, thermal efficiency was observed to be higher at lower ambient temperature values i.e. nearly 288.15 K, and lowers as the ambient temperature is increased. The highest gas turbine net-work output for inlet air evaporative cooling technique has been observed to be 224.80 kJ/kg of air (rpc = 8, TIT = 1100 K) as well as the highest gas turbine efficiency is found to be ~46% (rpc = 16 and TIT = 1100 K).

The main focus of this work is to predict and analyse fluid flow behaviour in HRSG. The heat transfer and pressure drop analysis are performed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The CFD model capability for predicting heat transfer and pressure drop performance of finned tube in cross-flow is analysed. The HRSGs having serrated tube and steady-state approach, with a two-equation turbulence model, is employed to examine fluid flow having Reynolds numbers variation from 5000 to 30,000. The external flow Nusselt number and overall pressure drop predicted by the CFD model are compared with those predicted by published empirical correlations.

The rise in the atmospheric carbon dioxide level is the primary reason for global warming and other climate change problems for which energy generation from renewable sources is an alternative solution to overcome this problem. However, the renewables sources are not as reliable for the higher amount of energy production and cannot fulfil the world’s energy demand; fossil fuels will continue to be consumed heavily for the energy generation requirements in the immediate future. The only possible solution to overcome the greenhouse gas emission from the power plant is by capturing and storing the carbon dioxide within the power plants instead of emitting it into the atmosphere. The oxy-fuel combustion power cycle with a carbon capture and storage system is an effective way to minimize emissions from the energy sectors. The oxy-fuel power cycle can reduce 90–99% of car...

Pool boiling of nanofluids has always been a topic of great interest and research. In past years, a lot of experimental works have been done on various nanofluids and base fluid solutions to study about the influence of nanofluids on critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient. Through these works, various factors such as surface roughness, wettability, contact angle, and particle deposition have also been studied as how these factors influence CHF. This paper also focuses on the past work and studies done on nanofluid pool boiling comprising of the very existing data.
