[SB&VW - Chapter 3, Chapter 11, Sections 11.1 to 11.7]
In this chapter, we examine cycles that use two-phase media as the
working fluid. These can be combined with gas turbine cycles to
provide combined cycles which have higher efficiency than either
alone. They can also be used by themselves to provide power sources
for both terrestrial and space applications. The topics to be
covered are
- Behavior of two-phase systems (equilibrium, pressure
temperature relations),
- Carnot cycles with two-phase media,
- Rankine cycles, and
- Combined cycles.
