Problem 08.089- Cryogenic energy storage (CES) system
Consider a cryogenic energy storage (CES) system in which nitrogen is liquefied during off-peak hours using surplus electricity generated by wind turbines and stored in a 475-m3 cryogenic tank at T1=-200C and P1=0.12MPa. During peak times, the entire liquid nitrogen is pumped to P2=15MPa and is heated by ambient air to T3=20C at that pressure before it is routed to a nitrogen turbine where it expands to a pressure of P4=100kPa. The properties of nitrogen are h1=-440.1kJkg,1=825.9kgm3,h3=-33.36kJkg, and h4s=-245.5kJkg(enthalpy at turbine exit for the case of isentropic xpansion).
Problem 08.089.b - Fraction of work consumed during the liquefaction process
What fraction of work consumed during the liquefaction process is recovered when the stored liquid nitrogen is used to generate work? Assume that it takes 0.8 kWh of electricity to liquefy a unit mass of nitrogen. (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)
The fraction of work consumed during the liquefaction process is
