ID - 131764201 TI - Fundamentals and applications of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) based power cycles AU - Brun, Klaus AU - Friedman, Peter AU - Dennis, Richard PY - 2017 SN - 9780081008058 0081008058 008100804X 9780081008041 PB - [Duxford, United Kingdom] Woodhead Publishing an imprint of Elsevier DB - UniCat UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:131764201 AB - Fundamentals and Applications of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) Based Power Cycles aims to provide engineers and researchers with an authoritative overview of research and technology in this area. Part One introduces the technology and reviews the properties of SCO2 relevant to power cycles. Other sections of the book address components for SCO2 power cycles, such as turbomachinery expanders, compressors, recuperators, and design challenges, such as the need for high-temperature materials. Chapters on key applications, including waste heat, nuclear power, fossil energy, geothermal and concentrated solar power are also included. The final section addresses major international research programs. Readers will learn about the attractive features of SC02 power cycles, which include a lower capital cost potential than the traditional cycle, and the compounding performance benefits from a more efficient thermodynamic cycle on balance of plant requirements, fuel use, and emissions.
