Analyses of the Effect of Cycle Inlet Temperature on the Precooler and Plant Efficiency of the Simple and Intercooled Helium Gas Turbine Cycles for Generation IV Nuclear Power Plants

Analyses of the Effect of Cycle Inlet Temperature on the Precooler and Plant Efficiency of the Simple and Intercooled Helium Gas Turbine Cycles for Generation IV Nuclear Power Plants

Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) precooler coolant temperature is critical to performance because it impacts the work required to increase the coolant pressure. Variation of the coolant temperature results in varied precooler hot gas temperatures, which are cooled before re-entry. For recirculation, the he...
