Promising generator for heating and/or powering
Abstract. Water/Desiccant CaCl2 is considered below to prove its big superiority vs. any other renewable energy power plants. CaCl2 + 4H2O = CaCl2*4H2O - 251 kJ, followed by its reverse reaction (recycling) by exhaust heat. Its electricity product is 0.035 USAcent/kWh, if USD 250 /ton.. CaCl2 and 4000 hours of its work in a year. Its footprint is negligible vs. countries area. Disclosure for experts. CaCl2 + 4H2O = CaCl2 * 4H2O - 250 kJ. CaCl2 (M = 111, dH = 795 kJ /mol * K, 2.16 g/cm3). CaCl2 * 4H2 (M = 183, dH = 2010 kJ/mol * K, Cp = 251 kJ /mol*K, 1.83 g/cm3) . If CaCl2 being 50 mm layer, and H2O being 72 mm correspondingly, dT = 270 C, and T = 300 C. if desiccant unit being 1 m2 area. Layer of CaCl2 = 2.16 × 50 mm = 110 kg = 1000 mol. So H2O = 72 kg correspondingly, and 250 kJ × 1000 / (72,000 gram H20) = 3.5 kJ/g H2O consume, or 3.5 × 72,000 / 3,600 sec. = 71 kWh heat × 0.25 (efficiency) = 18 kWh electricity/ m2. If such cycle supposed to be 5 minures = 1 / 12 hr, it ...
