Abstract
In this study, a solar based Rankine cycle and geothermal based system for multigeneration is designed and developed. It consists of a Rankine cycle with reheating for power generation, an absorption chiller cycle for cooling, a drying process to dry wet products, useful heat from the condenser of the Rankine cycle, and other useful heat out from heat exchangers. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the single generation and multigeneration systems are studied, and it is observed that the energy efficiency of the multigeneration system is higher than the single generation system. The energy efficiency of the single and multigeneration systems are 7% and 37%, respectively. Similarly, the overall exergy efficiencies for the single generation and multigeneration systems are also studied and presented in this paper. In addition to this, parametric studies are performed to observe the effects of different substantial parameters, namely inlet pressure and temperature of the turbine, and reference environment temperature in order to investigate the variations in the system performance in terms of the energy and exergy efficiencies.
