“…This system is based on the extension of Faraday's law of induction to liquid metal and has superior thermodynamic cycle efficiency compared to conventional turbines. [1][2][3] Its thermal efficiency is very close to Carnot cycle efficiency as a result of continuous heating on the expanding vapor (known as the thermodynamic uid) by the liquid metal (known as the power generation uid) which acts as an innite heat source given its high thermal capacity. The vapor expansion can thus be regarded as isothermal, and consequently, contributes to high-efficiency conversion in LMMHD.…”

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.
