| Abstract: In this paper, new enhancements of the dual PRO process for power generation have been suggested and tested theoretically. Seawater and brackish water were exploited as draw and feed solutions in the processes. The dual PRO process, which has been previously suggested as efficient cycle for power generation, was used as stranded or reference power cycle. The assessment of the newly suggested PRO cycles was done based on the total water volume produced as permeate across a selective membrane and hence on the net power generated for an individual process. The results indicated that under the same operational conditions, the newly suggested PRO cycles were produced higher power than that produces by the standard one. In addition, the cycle given by case (3) represented the most powerful PRO cycle. | ||
