Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, Ahead of Print.
In this study, a hybrid supercritical power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, and its thermodynamic performance is analysed. The topping cycle operates as a supercritical CO2(scCO2) power cycle, while the bottoming cycle is an ejector-assisted ...
