Abstract
⺠This paper proposed and studied the humid air turbine (HAT) cycle with methanol through decomposition with solar energy. ⺠The cycle's exergy efficiency is higher than that of the conventional HAT cycle by at least 5 percentage points. ⺠It is estimated that the solar heat-work conversion efficiency is about 39%, higher than usual. ⺠There is an optimal methanol conversation for the cycle's thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency at given Ï and TIT. ⺠Using EUD, the exergy loss is decreased by 8 percentage points compared with the conventional HAT cycle.
