Abstract

In this work a thermo–economic optimization analysis is performed on two air bottoming cycle (ABC) configurationswith and without intercooler in the bottoming cycle. Thermo–economic optimization modeling is developed and theeect of the mass flow rate ratio of bottoming cycle air mass flow rate with respect to the topping cycle air mass flowrate is examined in terms of both ABC plant eciency and total operation cost.
