Direct Optimization for Cycle Working Fluids Using a Thermodynamic Generalized Fluid Approach
SolarPACES Conference ProceedingsFluid blends as working fluids in solar thermal power cycles have been shown to promise an even higher efficiency than pure fluids. Rather than exploring specific blends, we propose an approach in which we directly optimize for a working fluid ...
