PR Hysys Design

The document outlines the design requirements for three distinct refrigeration and power generation systems: a cascade refrigeration system using R-134a and R-22, a solar-assisted gas turbine Brayton cycle, and a floating ocean thermal power plant using ammonia. Each system requires modeling in Aspen Hysys to determine mass flow rates, thermal efficiencies, and heat transfer areas based on specific parameters derived from student IDs. The document provides detailed guidelines for achieving desired cooling and power outputs while considering component efficiencies and system configurations.

Cascade Refrigeration System Design


R-134a and R-22
A cascade vapor-compression refrigeration system is to be designed to achieve ultra-low temperatures for a specific
application (such as vaccine storage or superconducting component cooling). You are tasked to design a system using:
• Refrigerant R-134a for the low-temperature (LT) cycle
• Refrigerant R-22 for the high-temperature (HT) cycle
The system must be capable of providing a total cooling capacity of [Qref] tons of refrigeration.
Cooling Load Based on Student ID (XYZ):

𝑄𝑟𝑒𝑓 = 18 + 𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛
250
System Setup Guidelines:
• The R-134a enters the compressor as saturated vapor at −30°F and is compressed to 50 lbf/in².
• Condensation of R-134a occurs in an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX), where heat is transferred to the R-22 cycle.
• The R-22 enters its compressor as saturated vapor at 5°F lower than the condensing temperature of R-134a, and is
compressed isentropically to 250 lbf/in².
• Saturated liquid from the IHX and condenser exits at 50 lbf/in² (R-134a) and 250 lbf/in² (R-22) respectively, and enters
expansion valves.
1. Cascade Refrigeration System Design
R-134a and R-22
Using modelling in Aspen Hysys:
1. Determine the required mass flow rates of R-134a and R-22 to achieve the 20-ton refrigeration capacity.
2. Estimate the isentropic compression power required for each cycle, assuming 85% isentropic efficiency.
3. Design the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX), by determining the minimum required overall heat transfer rate in
the IHX (in Btu/min) and estimate the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) for the IHX and determine the
minimum heat transfer area assuming U = 40 Btu/hr·ft²·°F.
4. Evaluate the overall coefficient of performance (COP) of the cascade system and recommend improvements that
could increase efficiency (e.g., subcooling, intercooling).
2. Solar-Assisted Gas Turbine Brayton Cycle
You are assigned to design a solar-driven gas turbine power plant that
operates on a modified Brayton cycle, using a pressurized solar thermal
storage medium as the primary heat source.
• The plant must deliver 500 kW net power output using air as the working
fluid. The system uses a regenerator and a solar heater. You will model the
Brayton cycle assuming no pressure losses in components and ideal gas
behavior for air.
• T₄ = 1XYZ K, where XYZ are the last three digits of your student ID, and
T₄ must be ≥ 1000 K
(If XYZ < 000, use 1000 K; if XYZ > 999, use 1999 K)
This is the maximum turbine inlet temperature, supplied by the solar
heat exchanger.
Using modelling in Aspen Hysys:
1. Determine the required air mass flow rate (in kg/s) to produce 500 kW net
output, considering turbine and compressor work.
2. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the system (η = net work output / total
heat input).
3. Floating Ocean Thermal Power Plant Using
Ammonia (Rankine Cycle)
• A floating Rankine-cycle-based power plant is proposed
to be anchored offshore near a lava flow on the coast of
Hawaii. The plant will use the temperature difference
between warm surface seawater (130°F) and deep cold
seawater (50°F) to generate electricity. The working fluid is
ammonia, which operates in a closed-loop cycle.
• You are tasked with designing key parameters of this
power plant to meet a net output requirement based on
your student ID.
• Use the last 3 digits of your student ID (XYZ) to set your
net power output as follows:

𝑊ሶ 𝑛𝑒𝑡 = 250 + ℎ𝑝
10
3. Floating Ocean Thermal Power Plant Using
Ammonia (Rankine Cycle)
Using modelling in Aspen Hysys:
• Model the system as a Rankine cycle with ammonia.
Use the temperatures and states provided in the
diagram. Use given component efficiencies: η_turbine
= 80%, η_pump = 85%. Determine the thermal
efficiency of your system.
• Calculate the required ammonia mass flow rate (in
lb/min or kg/s) to achieve your assigned net output.
• Estimate the required heat input (Q_boiler) and cooling
requirement (Q_condenser).
• Assume typical U-values for seawater–ammonia heat
exchangers and estimate surface area required.
