Second-law analysis of multi-effect lithium bromide-water absorption chillers.

Author(s) : LEE S. F., SHERIF S. A.

Summary

A detailed thermodynamic analysis leads the way to improve thermal systems and their components. Thus, this analysis can be applied as a useful tool for evaluation and improvement of absorption systems. Various configurations of absorption chillers using a lithium bromide-water solution as the working fluid were analyzed and compared on the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Simulation of these systems was employed first to investigate the first-law performances, while the thermal properties, entropy, and exergy of the working fluids were also calculated to analyze the second-law efficiencies under different operating conditions.
