Required information
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 530-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 expansion).
Determine the work consumed by the pump and the work produced by the turbine if the isentropic efficiency of the pump is 73 percent and that of the turbine is 82 percent. (Round the final answers to the nearest whole numbers.)
The work consumed by the pump is kWh , and the work produced by the turbine is kWh.
