A novel closed Brayton cycle is proposed that integrates a supercritical CO2 or CO2/xenon mixture as working fluid with the ORC in this paper.. The parametric study is performed to evaluate the impacts of some key parameters on the performance of the combined system, including the pressure ratio in sCO2, inlet temperature of turbine1 and evaporation temperature Results indicate that CO2/xenon mixture can improve the thermodynamic performance of the combined system, which brings the highest exergy efficiency of 58.80%. At the same time, CO2/xenon mixture presents lower efficiency and power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
