High Speed Trains (HST) are underfunded and state taxpayers may have to pick up the difference
College/university “green campus groups” active Bemidji State: “One of our signature themes here at
Bemidji State University is environmental stewardship,” said Anna Carlson, an adjunct professor of environmental studies at BSU.
At the forum, Carlson spoke about her CERT-funded greenhouse gas inventory project. She calculated BSU’s greenhouse gas emissions for the past 10 years using Clean Air-Cool Planet’s online calculator. http://www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/toolkit/inv-calculator.php
Reactivate Florida Tech’s Green Campus Group? Compute the campus GHG emissions?

7 Overview of Thermal Energy Systems
Thermal energy is used directly as heat rather than being converted to electricity Of course, a steam turbine might then make
electricityThis energy is available from combustion,
geothermal sources, or solar radiationHere we consider the temperatures of the
energy, methods of collection, transfers of energy, special uses

8.1 Thermodynamics --- Classical, That is
First Law of Conservation: Conservation of matter and energy Energy may be transformed but is conserved
(ignores nuclear energy to mass )Second Law of Entropy: All matter tends towards
randomness, disorder and minimum energy Work must be done to make more order
(just look at my desk!) Everything falls apart or decays eventually
Third Law: The entropy of a hypothetical pure crystal at absolute zero temperature is zero The molecules are stationary; no energy left in
them

8.1.1 Heat Sources
Combustion Coal, oil, and natural gas (NG) --- the fossil fuels Biofuel (wood, grasses, beans, corn, etc.)
Solar radiation absorption by solar collectorsTemperature difference: OTEC (Ocean Thermal
Energy Conversion) surface vs. deep ocean temperatures
Radioisotope thermopiles (thermoelectric; Cassini or New Horizons spacecraft; deep ocean transponders)
Chemical exothermic reactions (give off heat; MREs)Hydrogen production by photodissociation of water or
extracted from algae
100203
8.1.a The Carnot Cycle
The Carnot Cycle is a theoretical engine operation that demonstrates the maximum efficiency possible (can’t build it!)
Using Kelvin absolute temperatures, the efficiency is the difference of the highest input temperature minus the lower exhaust temperature, all divided by the high temperature A perfect engine could work
with equal input and exhaust temperatures; no losses
Real engines cannot exceed the equivalent Carnot efficiency
100203
Heat loss = QC/QH
QC/QH = TC/TH
Efficiency = 1 – loss= 1 – (TC/TH
)
= (TH-TC)/TH
So, for TH = 825K& TC = 300K,
Carnot Efficiency = = 1- TC/TH
= 1- 300K/825K
= 0.64 or 64%Kelvin = [(°F-32) / (1.8)] + 273
8.1.2 Degrees of Thermal “Quality”; Types of Use
Low temperature quality ~70°F to ~220°F Example: House heating, hot water heating
Medium temperature quality ~220°F to ~500°F Example: Industrial processing, cooking soup
High temperature quality ~500°F to ~10,000°F Example: Materials testing, utility power like
“Solar One” at Barstow CA The Sandia power tower tested missile nose
cones; like Corel™ dinnerware

8.1.3.2 Cycles of Heat Engines
Carnot Engine – a theoretical or ideal maximum efficiencyengine where η = (1-Tc/Th)*100%
Otto – the conventional 4-stroke automobile engineDiesel – fuel is injected into the hot compressed air
and bursts into flame, expanding and driving the piston down
Sterling and Ericsson Cycle use external combustion or heat --- Sterling engine can run on a coffee cup heat
Brayton Cycle for turbines: separate equipment for compression, combustion, and expansion
Rankine – a turbine cycle using reheat of the steam after the first or high pressure stage

8.2 Hot Water Solar Collectors
Batch tank A large water tank is directly heated by the sun Incoming cold water is warmed as the warmer
water leaves the tank for useOpen Cycle (Florida type)
The water is recirculated from a rooftop collector to a heavily insulated hot water heater
The electrical thermostat may be set at 120°F or lower and rarely heats the water except on cloudy days; electrical timer on after sunset (just in case)
Closed Cycle (for freezing areas) A heat exchanger is placed between a circulating
loop containing freezeproof liquid and the drinking water

8.3 Solar Stoves/Ovens
Frenchman Muxiao designed a parabolic solar stove in 1860 Cooking ovens collect the sun’s rays and absorb them in a
black colored interior, producing ~180°F Auxiliary reflective panels around the opening increase the
absorption further and the oven may reach 300°F Much larger units can be used as drying kilns

8.3.1 Simple but Efficient “Third World” Cook Stoves
A relatively simple clay-fired pot can serve as a stove to replace wood campfires
Wood is burned by pushing it through the hole in the side
Efficiency is improved by directing the heat to the cooking pot
A form is used so many of these can be made at once

8.3.2 A Large Solar Tracker Oven at Solar Fiesta 2003
This tracker-oven was used to bake three trays of chocolate-chip cookie at a time
This really made an impression on the crowds (and me! Yum!)
Solar Fiesta is held at Albuquerque NM at the Indian Pueblo Center

8.4.1 Air-to-Air Conditioning
Basic operation The working fluid (refrigerant) is compressed, heating it
(tire pump gets hot as you pump) The fluid passes through a condensor and rejects heat to
the surrounding air or liquid It then passes through an expansion valve and cools,
entering the evaporator to absorb heat from the air stream Temperature differential
The greater the temperature difference at the condenser, the greater the efficiency of heat transfer
Reverse cycle or heat pump If the piping is interchanged by a solenoid valve, the fluid
can absorb it from outside and expel heat in the building Reverse cycle systems have an Energy Efficiency Rating of
six or higher; resistance heating is only 1.0 (100% efficiency)
080128
8.4.1.1 Heat Pump Efficiencies
The current national efficiency standard for new heat pumps requires heat pumps to meet a minimum of 13 SEER and 7.7 HSPF --- ACEEE
Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF)

060130
8.4.2 Water-to-Air Conditioning
Heat exchanger Rather than conducting/rejecting heat directly into the
air, ground water is passed through a heat exchanger to absorb the heat from the compressed refrigerant
The hot and cold fluids must flow in opposite directions in the exchanger for maximum heat transfer
Corrosion If the ground water corrodes the exchanger, replacement
costs quickly make this approach infeasible and costly Water spray evaporators
A few years ago, mail-order sales of a cheap water spray kit with a solenoid valve were popular
Water was directly sprayed on the condenser fins when the compressor was running; cooled great and corroded away the fins; see corrosion above

Indiana University plays this steam calliope at various events!
Shouldn’t Florida Tech have one, too? Or maybe a bandorgan to be different
This is direct from steam to sound
The range is typically about three miles on a quiet day

8.5.3 Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG)
Hot turbine exhaust gases pass through the HRSG where water or steam is heated.
Steam heated above boiling is termed “superheated” and contains more energy Acts like gas instead of
vapor above critical point
This model contains several sections operating at various temperatures and flow rates

8.5.4 Flue Gas Scrubbers (FGS)
This is really an anti-pollution control, but it’s so large that it should be seen to be appreciated
The gas is sprayed with limestone slurry to remove ~90% of the sulfur dioxide & HCl
050201 http://www.tri-mer.com/RGBS/vertical_tower_packed_bed_scrubbers.jpg
8.6.1 Conventional Steam Turbines
These turbines contain many blades having a radius inversely proportional to the pressure
As the pressure falls, the radius must increase to get the same torque per section
Multiple sections are used to allow steam at different temperatures and pressures to all contribute to turning the shaft
050119
8.6.1 Turbine Types
Types: Conventional steam boiler turbines Aeroderivative (designed from aircraft engines)
Runs on natural gas, kerosene, or oil Microturbines (for stand-alone power
generation) Runs on natural gas Gives off heat for building These may be the basis of a distributed power
network FSEC has installed one at Cocoa FL for
evaluation Now removed, I believe
090203
8.6.2 Aeroderivative Turbines
Jet engine designs modified to drive a pump shaft were developed and used for the Alyeska Pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, Alaska (3 on line and 1 spare)
Later design variants were produced to turn generators(GE shown below)

8.6.3.1 Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
080123
This Hitachi Waste Heat Recovery Boiler has two separate loops for generating steam and reheating steam
The steam may also be used for industrial processes
8.6.3.2 Combined Heat, Power, and Chemicals
080128
Syngas conversion can produce chemicals and other fuels. Hydrogen production is also possible.
8.6.3.2 Cogeneration: Steam & Hot Water Distribution
Cogeneration systems are designed to wring more energy from the fuel source
The Carnot principle limits the work produced by an engine, but the rejected waste heat may be used elsewhere in a second cycle
Water jackets or additional piping can capture this heat for other uses
060127
8.6.4 Microturbines
Microturbines (Capstone) have efficiencies of ~80%
Heated water can power an absorption chillerMerritt Square Mall originally had a combined heat
and power unit (~1966; since removed)FSEC (Florida Solar Energy Center) is installing/has
installed a microturbine

8.7.1 Conventional Thermopiles
Thermopiles are made of dissimilar metals and generate low voltage, high-current, direct current
Voltage step-up (boost) convertors produce a more usable voltage at a lesser current

wasting energy. Our Woodstove Ecofan
increases your stove's efficiency
without drawing any electricity. The
hotter your stove gets, the faster the fan blades twirl to
provide ultimate comfort on chilly
days.
8.7.2 Radioisotope Thermal Generators (RTG)
RTGs (like SNAP-27) create electricity from the heat of radioactive decay of plutonium 238, having a half-life of 87 years
A thermopile converts heat to electricity with dissimilar metals or semiconductors

8.7.3 Magnetohydrodynamics
A conductive plasma of hot gas is sent through a magnetic field
The moving plasma acts like a moving wire, and electricity can be generated across plates on either side of the stream

8 Conclusion
Thermal energy conversion remains the predominant use of fuel
Since the fuels are still perceived as cheap, there isn’t much public clamor to change to renewables
Pollution effects are diffuse and overlooked by most people
As the price of conventional fuels increase and renewables decrease, a shift will occur
There must be a long period of overlap of the two technologies to permit development of renewable resources before conventional fuels become difficult to obtain at a reasonable price
