Rankine Power Plant Cycle Utilizing

Ammonia with Surface and Deep-Water Heat Exchange.

Abstract:
This simulation is of a Rankine cycle which is a thermodynamic process that uses the
temperature difference of water between the surface and depth of a water body to generate
power. There are four ammonia streams in the cycle, which are referred to as Streams 1, 2, 3,
and 4. Stream 1 is the input stream that enters the turbine and produces energy, or work.
Stream 2 flows into the heat exchanger and is cooled. Stream 3 is the ammonia stream that
exits the heat exchanger and flows into the pump, where its pressure is increased. Stream 4
reaches the second heat exchanger and receives heat. This heat exchanger generates Stream
1A, which is recycled back. Surface and deep-water are the primary heat and coolants for
ammonia.
