A Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Cycle for Next Generation Nuclear Reactors

A systematic, detailed major component and system design evaluation and multiple-parameter optimization under practical constraints has been performed of the family of supercritical CO[subscript 2] Brayton power cycles for application to advanced nuclear reactors. The recompression cycle is shown to...
