Sensitivity analysis of the MATIANT cycle

摘要

In this paper, a novel technology based on the zero CO_2 emission MATIANT cycle is presented. This latter is basically a regenerative gas cycle operating on CO_2 as the working fluid and using O_2 as the fuel oxidizer in the combustion chambers. The cycle uses the highest temepratures and pressures compatible with the msot advanced materials in the steam and gas turbines and in the heat exchangers. In addition, a reheat and a staged compression and with intercoolign are used. Therfore the optimized cycle efficiency is around 45/100 when operating on natural gas.
