Path: Thermal/Brayton
% Brayton cycle design from temperature, pressure and efficiencies If there are no outputs or doPlot is true this will create figures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [dOut,dP] = CycleDesign(fXe,heat,t1,t4,p1,a,r,n,pR,nC,nT,nR,doPlot) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ fXe (1,1) Mass fraction of Xenon in Xe/He mixture heat (1,1) Heat input (kW) T1 (1,1) Compressor Inlet Temp temperature (deg-K) T4 (1,1) Turbine Inlet temperature (deg-K) P1 (1,1) Compressor Inlet Pressure (Atm) a (1,1) total pipe area, m^2 r (1,1) pipe radius n (1,1) number of pipes pR (1,1) Pressure ratio of compressor nC (1,1) Compressor efficiency nT (1,1) Turbine efficiency nR (1,1) Recuperator ratio doPlot (1,1) Create plots (with output) ------ Outputs ------ dOut (.)
