ABSTRACT |
A potassium-Rankine power conversion system model was developed under Contract No. NAS3-25808 for the NASA -LeRC. This model predicts potassium-Rankine performance for turbine inlet temperatures (TIT) from 1200-1600 K, TIT to condenser temperature ratios from 1.25-1.6, power levels from 100 to 10,000 kWe, and lifetimes from 2-10 years. The model is for a Rankine cycle with reheat for turbine stage moisture control. The model assumes heat is supplied from a lithium heat transport loop. The model does not include a heat source or a condenser/heat rejection system model. These must be supplied by the user. |
