Considering the environmental conditions and transportation of remote areas, an inherently safe integrated energy conversion system featuring miniaturization, modularization, high adaptability is needed. The small fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR) coupled with Brayton cycle a promising design. In this paper, efficiency, exergy loss four different configurations supercritical c...

The current research is aimed at carrying out an exergy analysis of a 33-MW gas turbine power plant that operates on the Brayton cycle. Quantitative exergy analysis for each component and for the whole system was done. Based on the exergy balance models developed, a computer program is written which is used to investigate the performance of the power plant under varying ambient and turbine inle...

Significantly increasing consumption and demand in conventional fossil energy sources require to be more efficient sustainable. In this study, it is aimed increase the efficiency of systems by using thermodynamic cycles from waste heat sources. The designed system at adding sub-cycles a gas turbine. results analyzed with engineering equation solver program, when all are combined, 75% total exer...

Introduction RE<C was a Google initiative to drive innovation in renewable energy, with the goal of making renewable energy cheap enough to compete head-to-head with coal-fired power plants. Hence the name RE<C “renewable energy cheaper than coal.” As part of this initiative, Google formed an engineering team to develop promising technologies in the field of solar energy power generation. After...

Combined cycle systems have an important role in power generation. In the present study, three different configurations of combined Brayton and Rankine system are studied from perspective energy, exergy, exergoeconomic environmental perspectives. Results indicate that it depends on preferences criteria each decision maker to select best configuration among proposed as final configuration. For p...

Supercritical CO2 power systems offer the potential of reduced system footprint and improved thermal efficiency, through development adoption compact heat exchangers. Among these exchangers, microtube, printed circuit, plate exchangers are emerging as most promising technologies for addition to cycle, recuperation rejection, respectively. To investigate performance supercritical recuperated Bra...
