Abstract EN

A combined cycle that combines AWM cycle with a nuclear closed Brayton cycle is proposed to recover the waste heat rejected from the precooler of a nuclear closed Brayton cycle in this paper.

The detailed thermodynamic and economic analyses are carried out for the combined cycle.

The effects of several important parameters, such as the absorber pressure, the turbine inlet pressure, the turbine inlet temperature, the ammonia mass fraction, and the ambient temperature, are investigated.

The combined cycle performance is also optimized based on a multiobjective function.

Compared with the closed Brayton cycle, the optimized power output and overall efficiency of the combined cycle are higher by 2.41% and 2.43%, respectively.

The optimized LEC of the combined cycle is 0.73% lower than that of the closed Brayton cycle.
