Concentrated solar power (CSP) is one of the most promising power technologies. The power cycle block accounts for about one-third of the capital expenditure in the CSP system and has a direct and significant impact on the conversion efficiency of the CSP system. It is necessary to employ a highly ...
The supercritical pressure CO 2 (SCO 2 ) Brayton cycle is an efficient and compact power cycle that has promising potential in solar and nuclear power generation systems. The printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is an ideal candidate as a regenerator and pre-cooler in the SCO 2 Brayton cycle du ...
