Thermodynamic analysis of a novel absorption power/cooling combined-cycle

An absorption power/cooling combined cycle is proposed, and a thermodynamic analysis of the cycle is performed using log p–T, log p–h and T–s diagrams. Based upon two performance criteria, the overall thermal-efficiency and exergy efficiency, the cycle has been analyzed by means of a simulation. The overall thermal efficiency of the cycle is 24.2%, and the exergy efficiency is 37.3%.
