2. Reference Conditions For the analyses presented in further sections, the S-CO2 cycle conditions for the Advanced Burner Test Reactor (ABTR) have been selected [8]. The ABTR is designed for 250 MWt core power, which translates to about 100 MWe generator output. The sodium core inlet and outlet temperatures are 355 oC and 510 oC, respectively. There is a 22 oC temperature drop from the primary to the intermediate Na loop, so the intermediate sodium temperature at Na-to-CO2 heat exchanger inlet is 488 oC. The S-CO2 temperature at the turbine inlet is about 470 oC. The resulting cycle efficiency is 39 %. At the bottom of the cycle, the CO2 is cooled such that when the flow accelerates at the compressor inlet nozzle, the static temperature and pressure are 31.25 oC and 7.40 MPa, which are very close to but still above the CO2 critical point (30.98 oC and 7.373 MPa). Table 1 shows the detailed design and nominal operating conditions for the S-CO2 Brayton cycle components for the reference cycle. The cycle and each component optimization process are described in detail in Reference [8]. For this work, it is assumed that the conditions on sodium side (flow rate and temperatures) are fixed. Therefore, the S-CO2 cycle itself is optimized be optimized for the fixed sodium side conditions. It is noted however that there remains an opportunity to improve both the cycle and entire plant performance by optimizing the sodium side conditions, as through variation of the intermediate sodium flow rate and the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) inlet temperature. This additional joint optimization of both the power conversion cycle and the reactor heat transport system is beyond the scope of the current investigation. 9

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
