Low-temperature thermodynamic bottoming cycles for fusion reactors
Description:
Possible application of thermodynamic bottoming cycles to fusion reactors is examined. Thermodynamic and cost data for many possible working fluids are incomplete. Geothermal research is the primary source of fluid data. Bottoming cycles should be fully integrated into the energy conversion system to achieve maximum effectiveness. Scavenging by a bottoming cycle of low-level energy may be possible but not attractive with present conceptual fusion reactor designs. The best use of a bottoming cyc…
