In this research, the integrated carbon dioxide power cycle with a geothermal energy source to supply the required reverse osmosis desalination power for freshwater production is defined. It is also a carbon dioxide power cycle, coupled with thermal energy recovery of infrared energy of liquid natural gas (LNG) to generate more power. A sodium hypochlorite generator is considered to prevent the brine water discharging. The brine water portion of the desalination outlet was the input to this generator. The cycling power is consumed by the desalination system and sodium hypochlorite generator. After modeling, the advanced exergy analyses are studied. By exergy analysis, it is observed that in this model the condenser has the highest exergy destruction rate, equal to 952 kW. Additionally, the unavoidable part of the exergy destruction of carbon dioxide turbine constitutes 88% of its exergy destruction that is equal to 301 kW. So this component is the best option to improve exergy destruction.
In this research, the integrated carbon dioxide power cycle with the geothermal energy source to supply the required reverse osmosis desalination power for freshwater production is defined. The cycling power is consumed by the desalination system and sodium hypochlorite generator. Exergoeconomic analysis, and optimization are studied. Exergoeconomic analysis is shown that the desalination system, sodium hypochlorite generator, carbon dioxide turbine, and natural gas turbine have the highest rate for the sum of capital gain and exergy destruction cost. For the first case of optimization, the total cost rate is considered as the objective function. The optimal inlet discharge rate of sodium hypochlorite generator was 62% of the brine water outlet discharge rate of the desalination system. Plus, the total cost rate is reduced by 10% compared to the general case when 100% of brine water discharge rate of the desalination system enters into the sodium hypochlorite generator. The second case is multiobjective optimization to reduce costs and increase productivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
