    The document discusses binary vapor power cycles, which use two working fluids to combine desirable properties and overcome some limitations of single-fluid cycles like those using just water. It lists characteristics of ideal working fluids and notes no single fluid has all attributes. High-temperature fluids discussed include mercury, sodium, and potassium, while low-temperature options include ammonia and isobutene. Mercury is highlighted for its density advantages but also toxicity dangers. The binary cycle aims to approach performance of an ideal cycle.

    Binary Vapor Cycle
    Binary Vapor Cycle
    • Generally water is used a working fluid in vapor
    power cycle as it is found to be better than any
    other fluid, but it is far from being the ideal one.

    • The binary cycle is an attempt to overcome some


    of the shortcomings of water and to approach the
    ideal working fluid by using two fluids.
    Binary Vapor Cycle

    The most important characteristics of the working fluid


    suitable for vapor cycles are:

    1. A high critical temperature and a safe maximum


    pressure:
    2. Low- triple point temperature
    3. Condenser pressure is not too low.
    4. High enthalpy of vaporization
    5. High thermal conductivity

    6. The saturation dome resembles to inverted ‘U’
    7. It must be readily available, inexpensive, inert and
    non-toxic.

    Therefore it can be concluded that no single working


    fluids may have all desirable requirements of ideal
    working fluid so different working fluids may have
    different attractive feature in them.
    Binary Vapor Cycle
    Binary vapor cycle: A cycle in which two working fluids
    are used in combination, to utilize the desirable
    features of each fluid in order to obtain good results.

     Some of the working fluids found suitable for high
    temperature cycle are:
     Mercury

     Sodium

     Potassium

     Sodium-Potassium Mixture

    Some of the working fluids found suitable for low


    temperature cycle are:
     Ammonia

     Isobutene

     Advantages of Mercury as a vapor cycle fluid

    1. It has high density and, therefore, it is easier to


    separate vapor from liquid in the boiler.
    2. It is an element and hence stable.
    3. The efficiency of binary vapor plant using mercury
    is more than steam power plant of same capacity.
    Binary Vapor Cycle
     Disadvantages of Mercury as a vapor cycle fluid
    1. In mercury vapor plant there is danger due to
    poisonous fumes if any leakage of mercury vapor
    occurs.
    2. Cost of mercury is high.
    3. Mercury has toxic qualities.
    4. The investment cost per kW of binary vapor cycle
    power plant is more than a steam power plant
