Parameters Optimization of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Brayton Cycle

By well modeling a supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton recompression cycle, the effects of cycle parameters on cycle efficiency and the interrelationship of parameters were studied. The cycle was optimized and the high-efficiency energy conversion mechanism of CO₂ cycle was represented. The results show that supercritical CO₂ cycle is an effective energy conversion system and is suitable for low core outlet temperature reactors.
