Ammonia–water mixtures have been used as working fluids in absorption–refrigeration cycles for several decades. Their use as multi-component working fluids for power cycles has been investigated recently. The thermodynamic properties required are known or may be calculated at elevated...

A combined thermal power and cooling cycle is proposed. The proposed cycle combines a Rankine cycle and an absorption refrigeration cycle. It can provide power output as well as refrigeration with power generation as a primary goal. The new cycle uses very high concentration ammonia vapor in the...
