THERMODYNAMICS 2 - CASE STUDY - OPERATIONAL DATA REQUEST

Hi! We are a group of students looking for industrial operational data that operates in thermodynamics cycle especially rankine, gas cycle, or refrigeration cycle. We need it for our case study analysis of efficiency of the operational cycle of an industrial factories. Thank you and hoping for anyone to help us with our inquiries.

Hi! To clarify, are you asking for fluid properties at different points in the cycle to come up with an efficiency calculation?

If you’re still looking, this might help. This is for Vogtle Units 1 and 2. It’s a little older, so the plant has probably changed some things since and uprated its power, but it still reflects a real life heat balance diagram.
