摘要:In this work, a study of the efficiency of carbon dioxide energy cycles of different architecture is carried out. The relevance of these technical solutions in modern conditions is shown. Basic options of zero emission thermodynamic cycles using CO2as an cycle fluid are presented. It is shown that the efficiency of the analyzed CO2-cycles with an initial temperature of 1000 °C will be 54-58%, depending on their configuration. It is presented that the efficiency can be increased up to 65% with an initial temperature increase up to 1500 °C.
