Regen-SCOT: Rocket Engine-Derived High Efficiency Turbomachinery for Electric Power Generation
Closed Brayton power cycles using supercritical CO2 as the working fluid are being researched as an alternative to the traditional steam-Rankine power cycle for electric power generation. This report summarizes a preliminary Aerojet Rocketdyne cost-benefit study of direct oxy-gas-fired closed Brayton cycle turbines using rocket engine-derived turbine technology. The study compares the cycle’s efficiency and […]
