Abstract
A regenerative plant is examined with respect to cost and thermodynamic optimization using the power-quantity ratio (PQR) and the classical thermal efficiency. The PQR is compared with the thermal efficiency index in adaptive response intended for low carbon footprint in power production. The Dataq PLC is employed for smart embedded PC control. The ranges of values of the vaporizer pressure and temperature are 5–20 MPa and 350 – 580 oC, respectively. By specifying the values of the thermodynamic variables in the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software environment which was used to computerize the thermodynamic relations, the heat input and work output as well as the classical efficiency index are calculated.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Engineering Research (JER) is a international, peer reviewed journal which publishes full length original research papers, reviews, case studies related to all areas of Engineering such as: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Petroleum, Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Coastal, Environmental, Marine & Ocean, Metallurgical & Materials, software, Surveying, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering. In particular, JER focuses on innovative approaches and methods that contribute to solving the environmental and manufacturing problems, which exist primarily in the Arabian Gulf region and the Middle East countries. Kuwait University used to publish the Journal "Kuwait Journal of Science and Engineering" (ISSN: 1024-8684), which included Science and Engineering articles since 1974. In 2011 the decision was taken to split KJSE into two independent Journals - "Journal of Engineering Research "(JER) and "Kuwait Journal of Science" (KJS).
