Problem Cryogenic energy storage CES system
Consider a cryogenic energy storage CES system in which nitrogen is liquefied during offpeak hours using surplus electricity generated by wind turbines and stored in a cryogenic tank at and MPa. During peak times, the entire liquid nitrogen is pumped to MPa and is heated by ambient air to at that pressure before it is routed to a nitrogen turbine where it expands to a pressure of kPa. The properties of nitrogen are and enthalpy at turbine exit for the case of isentropic xpansion
Problem 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 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
