📝 Abstract

In recent years, the demand for sustainable energy sources has increased, particularly in tropical regions where traditional resources are often limited. This study explores the engineering of advanced thermodynamic cycles tailored for energy extraction from tropical climates. The objective is to optimize existing thermodynamic processes by integrating regional climate data, focusing on efficiency and environmental impact. We employed a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental setups in selected tropical locations to simulate and validate our models. Findings indicate that modified Rankine cycles with specific adaptations to humidity and temperature variations significantly outperform traditional setups in energy efficiency. Our results demonstrate a potential increase in energy yield by up to 25%, emphasizing the importance of tailored solutions for specific climate zones. In conclusion, this research provides a viable pathway for enhancing energy sustainability in tropical regions, supporting global efforts towards green energy and climate resilience.
