Performance analysis and optimization of an irreversible Carnot heat engine cycle for space power plant
In this paper, an irreversible Carnot heat engine cycle model for space power plants is built by using finite time thermodynamics. A radiator panel is considered between low temperature heat sink and space environment, expressions for power output and thermal efficiency of the plant are derived. Inf...
