Introduction
6Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
• The compression and expansion processes in an actual Claude cycle are irreversible.
• These irreversibilities cause inefficiencies and deteriorate the performance of the system.
• To study the effect of these inefficiencies, a tutorial problem is solved.
• The results are graphically plotted and compared with a reversible system solved in the previous lecture.

Tutorial
10Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
A. Determine W/mf for a Claude Cycle with N2 as working fluid. The system operates between 1.013 bar (1 atm) and 50.65 bar (50 atm). The expander inlet T3 is at 250 K. The expander flow ratio is varied between 0.1 and 0.9. The efficiencies are as given below.
B. Repeat the above problem for T3 = 300 K, 275 K and 250 K. Plot the data y, W/mf versus xgraphically and comment on the results.

Kapitza & Heylandt System
15Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
• The transportation of gases across the world is done in liquid state by storing them at cryogenic temperatures.
• The air liquefaction is of primary importance because LN2 and LOX are separated from LAir.
• Kapitza and Heylandt systems are the two different modifications of the Claude System which are generally used in the air liquefaction.
• Collins system, also a modification of Claude system, is widely used in liquefaction of Helium.

Kapitza System
16Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
• A Kapitza system is a low –pressure system which is used in Air liquefaction.
• It was invented in 1939 by Pyotr Kapitza, in which• The first heat exchanger is
replaced by a set of valvedregenerators.
• The third heat exchanger is eliminated in the Claude system.

Kapitza System
17Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
• The regenerator/heat exchanger performs two different operations• Gas cooling/warming• Gas purification
• During one cycle, one unit purifies by freezing the impurities and cools the incoming hot gas.

• Heylandt System is a high –pressure system, which is used in Air liquefaction.
• The typical operating pressure is around 200 atm.
• In 1949, Heylandt observed that, when a Claude system operated on Air with 200 atmand x=0.6, the optimum value of T3 before the expansion engine is close to ambient.

• For a given initial and final conditions of p, the yield ydepends on h3(T3), h5(T5), x1 and x2.
• Like in the Claude system, the values of T3, T5, x1 and x2have to optimized to obtain a maximum yield.

Summary
41Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
• The compression and expansion processes in an actual Claude cycle are irreversible. These cause inefficiencies and deteriorate the performance of the system.
• Kapitza and Heylandt systems are the two modifications of the Claude System.
• In a Kapitza cycle, the regenerator/heat exchanger performs both gas cooling/warming and gas purification.
![Page 42: 16 - NPTEL · to use a turbo – expander (rotary type) instead of a reciprocating expander. • This modification allowed the elimination of third heat exchanger in Claude system.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071419/61172af66b88795f8229ad0c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Summary
42Prof. M D Atrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Bombay
• Also, it was first system to use a turbo –expander (rotary type) instead of a reciprocating expander.
• Heylandt System is a high – pressure system, which is used in Air liquefaction (~200 atm).
• In this system, the inlet to the expander is ambient and hence, the lubrication on the high pressure side and the operation of the expander is greatly simplified.
