A simulation model using Aspen HYSYS v8.4 has been developed. One cycle for high temperature and another for low temperature exhaust have been tested for different organic fluids. The net power output, efficiency, volumetric flow rate, and rate of irreversibility have been compared.Project: Auto-Trigger Safety Stove-An MQ5 natural gas detection chip in conjunction with a servo motor was used to detect gas leakage at the main inlet and the servo after receiving a positive response from the MQ5 will automatically close the valve on the main inlet channel. Provisions were made to provide thermal insulation to protect the entire system of sensors, motors, and the Arduino Mega control system. Show less
