Who wants an active gas turbine needing only air temperature.?

Question

I am a one man band new at bringing attention to innovation in base load electric generation.

The idea behind the generator arose from Steam requiring 550Dc heat to reach a pressure of 140 Bar the force required a rotate a 350 megawatt steam turbine.

There be many other gasses that reach that pressure at far less heat, but unlike steam they don’t require cooling water to condense back into a liquid.

“Einstein “was the first with this when he invented the Ammonia Fridge, now commonly known as the Gas fridge.

Some active gasses need only air temperature to supply pressure enough to power a 350 Megawatt turbine.

Answer 1

The problem with this thinking is on the condensation end of the power generation. Sure, there are many materials that boil at low temperature, but to condense them back into a liquid would require temperatures BELOW room temperature. That means refrigeration, and refrigeration is not cheap, and would likely eat up most of the power generated. A lower boiling material may be feasible if a suitable cold sink were available, such as in space or possibly the arctic. From a practical standpoint here on most of earth water is the best choice of a working fluid. And as for any advantages gained, the thermodynamic efficiency that a power plant is capable of is determined solely by the temperature difference between the hot sink (the burning coal, oil gas or nuclear fuel) and the cold sink (the river, lake, atmosphere or ice floe). So you wouldn't want to lower the hot temperature, but lowering the cold side would gain you some efficiency.

Answer 2

In all likelihood you'll never end up getting the idea to work.

The description isn't complete enough to fully judge it but from what I can tell it sounds like it could violate one (or more) of the laws of thermodynamics (with the way you wrote it I highly doubt you have an understanding of heat engines in which case you will not produce anything that is economically competitive if you can even get something that works).

Answer 3

Ok I give, YES I DO
