Closing the loop with a hot side temperature of 1200C and a COP of 3, is right on the very edge of possible...
You need close to 50% of theoretical carnot efficiency... 100C cold 1200C hot gives carnot of 0.76 Best possible heat to mechanical work.. (3*.76) = 2.28 Best possible Work to electricity 0.95 gives 2.116 so to break even close the loop and have ZERO excess energy you would need to get to 46% of carnot Commercial large scale power plants don't get to 46% of carnot.... Using something really simple like thermo electric (seebeck) generator would require a COP of 20.2 to get to break even assuming that electrical conversion efficency was 99% On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 8:02 AM, Daniel Rocha <[email protected]> wrote: > Rossi had now shown that he can get COP>3.
