The article deals with the energy and exergy performance analyses of supercritical carbon dioxide recompression Brayton cycle (S-CO2 RBC). This is known to offer maximum efficiency when operating near critical point CO2, which possible in low ambient temperature environment but not warm or hot conditions. CO2-C7H8 binary mixture used improve thermodynamic for warmer percentage C7H8 selected acc...

In this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative Brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. Optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. In order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy ti...

The non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a classical yet complex case study of nonlinear dynamical systems. Power-shaping control is a recent approach for the control of nonlinear systems based on the physics of the dynamical system and it rests on the formulation of the dynamics in the Brayton-Moser form. The Brayton-Moser formulation of the non-isothermal continuous stirre...

Real gas thermodynamic cycles employ state-of-the-art property routines to compute the state properties as ideal relations are inaccurate. Multiparameter equation of (EOS), though accurate, is computationally time consuming due iterative solutions needed for complex cycles. Alternatively, look-up tables alleviate computational but compromise accuracy interpolation and extrapolation schemes. Thi...
