Revalorization of the Szewalski binary vapour cycle

The aim of the paper is to revalorizate of the Szewalski binary vapour cycle by analysing thermodynamical and operational parameters of this cycle. This was carried out by accessible numerical computational flow mechanics codes using the step-by-step modeling of separate elements. The binary vapour cycle is providing steam as the working fluid in the high temperature part of the cycle, while another fluid - a low boiling point fluid of low specific volume - as the working substance substituting conventional steam over the temperature range represented by the low pressure steam expansion. The steam cycle for reference conditions has been assumed. Four working fluids in the low temperature part of the binary cycle such as propane, isobutane, ethanol and ammonia have been investigated.
