Thermodynamic analysis of combined diesel engine and absorption unit - Turbocharged engine

This paper describes the effects of pressure ratio and temperature ratio of the turbocharged diesel engine on the amount of net work and efficiency of the engine, and also the amount of energy available in the exhaust gases, which can be used to drive an absorption refrigeration machine. For an ideal cycle, the combined cycle is examined based on thermodynamic laws and the acceptance envelope identified. Then, based on the correlations derived, graphs have been plotted for the net work, efficiency and the amount of cooling load available in exhaust gases as a function of pressure ratio and temperature ratio of the cycle.
