Abstract

A geothermal heat-powered, low-temperature Rankine cycle is suitable for the operation of a conventional mechanical compression heat-pump cycle in providing heating and cooling loads. This system is analyzed using a finite-time thermodynamic approach. The only irreversibilities are associated with heat transfer between the system and surrounding thermal reservoirs.
