Optimal Heat Exchanger Area Distribution and Low-Temperature Heat Sink Temperature for Power Optimization of an Endoreversible Space Carnot Cycle

Optimal Heat Exchanger Area Distribution and Low-Temperature Heat Sink Temperature for Power Optimization of an Endoreversible Space Carnot Cycle

Using finite-time thermodynamics, a model of an endoreversible Carnot cycle for a space power plant is established in this paper. The expressions of the cycle power output and thermal efficiency are derived. Using numerical calculations and taking the cycle power output as the optimization objective...
