MODICS. Généralisation de la méthode d'optimisation systémique aux systèmes thermiques avec échangeurs imposés

Optimal design of the structure and settings of nuclear HTR thermodynamic cycles

“…It is during this phase that iterations between the people in charge of optimization and those who design the processes take place. One of the interests of the method is that constantly, it is possible to have an idea of the stakes associated with optimization and the limits which one can reach, in particular thanks to the traditional graphic tools of thermal integration [7], as well as the Carnot Factor Difference Curve [8,9], well adapted to this type of problems.…”

“…The reader should refer to the papers given in reference [7][8][9][10][11][12]. We will just recall here the expression of the exergy dissipation flow that is used to draw exergy balances like in Tables 1 and 2:…”
