Abstract

The supercritical $CO_2$ (S- $CO_2$ ) Brayton cycle has recently been gaining a lot of attention for application to next generation nuclear reactors. The advantages of the S- $CO_2$ cycle are high efficiency in the mild turbine inlet temperature region and a small physical footprint with a simple layout, compact turbomachinery, and heat exchangers. Several heat sources including nuclear, fossil fuel, waste heat, and renewable heat sources such as solar thermal or fuel cells are potential application areas of the S- $CO_2$ cycle. In this paper, the current development progress of the S- $CO_2$ cycle is introduced. Moreover, a quick comparison of various S- $CO_2$ layouts is presented in terms of cycle performance.
