This paper focuses on monitoring and predicting the short circuit faults of the rotor windings of large turbo-generator systems. For the purpose of increasing efficiency and decreasing maintenance cost, a method that combines the HHT (Hilbert Huang Transform) with a wavelet has been studied. This method is based on analyzing a classical Albright detecting coil. Due to the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) of the HHT the exact location of a short circuit of rotor windings may be given. However, a part of the useful information is eliminated by the unreasonable decomposing scale of the wavelet. Based on the thermodynamics modeling method, this study was illustrated with a 50MW turbo-generator system that is installed in Northern China. The analysis results, which have very good agreement with those of a previous study, show that the method of combining the HHT with a wavelet is an effective way to analyze and predict the short circuit faults of the rotor windings of large generators, such as supercritical turbo-generator systems and wind turbo-generator systems. This work can offer a useful reference for analyzing smart grids by improving the power quality of a distribution network that is supplied by a turbo-generator system.

There are two Clausius inequalities. One involves the temperature of external reservoir and the other involves the temperature at the system boundary. It is shown that the former Clausius inequality can be established from a direct application of the proposition regarding the efficiency of a Carnot cycle based on an apparatus with two reservoirs. A different apparatus which also has two thermal reservoirs is utilized to compare the cyclic integral of the former inequality with that of the latter, resulting in the proof of the latter inequality.

This paper aims to study and design of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Machine using Isopentane as working fluid expanding through Tesla turbine. The study on ORC machine expanding through Tesla turbine has result on the efficiency of Tesla turbine. In addition, Thermodynamics theory on isentropic efficiency proved to be a successful method for overcoming the difficulties associated with the determination of very low torque at very high angular speed. By using an inexpensive experiment device and a simple method, the angular acceleration method, for measuring output torque and power in a Tesla turbine is able to predict a tendency of output work. The experiments using two Tesla turbine sizes, the first size is 1.6 bigger than the second one. In comparison with the first size, the tesla turbine can produce power output more than 62% of the second size. Further study on the machine can be developed throughout the county due to its low cost and efficiency.

This paper aims to compare the use of Centrifugal Turbine and Tesla Turbine in an application of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Machine using Isopentane as working fluid expanding. The working fluid has boiling point below boiling water and works in low-temperature sources between $80-120^{\circ}C$ which can be produced from waste heat, solar-thermal energy and geothermal energy etc. The experiment on ORC machine reveals that the suitability of high pressure pump for working fluid has result on the efficiency of work. In addition, Thermodynamics theory on P-h diagram also presented the effect of heat sources' temperature and flow rate on any work. Thus, the study and design on ORC machine has to concern mainly on pressure pump, flow rate and optimized temperature. Result experiment and calculate ORC Machine using centrifugal Turbine efficiency better than Tesla turbine 30% but Tesla Turbine is cheaper and easily structure. Further study on the machine can be developed throughout the county due to its low cost and efficiency.

In this paper a comparative thermodynamics analysis is carried out for organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and ammonia-water Rankine cycle (AWRC) utilizing low-grade heat sources. Effects of the working fluid, ammonia concentration, and turbine inlet pressure are systematically investigated on the system performance such as mass flow rate, pressure ratio, turbine-exit volume flow, and net power production as well as the thermal efficiency. Results show that ORC with a proper working fluid shows higher thermal efficiency than AWRC, however, AWRC shows lower mass flow rate of working fluid and lower pressure ratio of expander than ORC.

From the point of view of the second law of thermodynamics, house heating and cooling systems were analysed for saving energy. The analysis provides a theoretical basis for the heat-pump application. Also the efficiency of energy use is defined more rigorously by comparing the thermodynamic availability actually consumed in heating and cooling with the minimum thermodynamic availability required to do the same heating and cooling. It was found that the present 'Ondol' heating system has a heating efficiency of around $8\%$ according to the definition described here. Several schemes to inprove the efficiency are presented.

Rankine cycle using ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid has attracted much attention, since it may be a very useful device to extract power from low-temperature heat source. In this work, the thermodynamic performance of regenerative ammonia-water Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated based on the second law of thermodynamics and exergy analysis, when the energy source is low-temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as ammonia mass concentration in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance including exergy destructions or anergies of system components, efficiencies based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The results show that as the ammonia concentration increases, exergy exhaust increases but exergy destruction at the heat exchanger increases. The second-law efficiency has an optimum value with respect to the ammonia concentration.

During a last decade, detonative combustion is promising combustion mechanism of high-speed propulsion systems, but is more rigorously considered in these days as a game-changer for the improvement of thermodynamic efficiency of propulsion and power generation systems. Regardless of the skepticism about the pressure loss associated with the strong shock waves, it is shown that the additional compression by the strong shock wave exhibits increased thermodynamics efficiency that is not achievable by conventional compression systems. Present talk will give an introduction to the concepts and the recent activities on the pressure gain combustors (PGC) researches based on detonation phenomena.

Thermodynamic analysis of water-to-water heat pump system based on the first and second law of thermodynamics is carried out in this study. This analysis shows the distribution of irreversibilities throughout the system components and informs us of a potential improvements with the temperature condition changes. Source water temperature($T_A$), utilization water temperature($T_D$) and temperature differences (${\Delta}T_{AB}$, ${\Delta}T_{CD}$) are important factors to affect system performances such as component irreversibilities, exergetic efficiency and COPH. Advantages and disadvantages with these factors are discussed. Second law optimization phenomena with $T_A$ and ${\Delta}T_{AB}$ are also indicated.
