Performance Characteristics of A High-Efficiency R717 OTEC Power Cycle

Abstract

This paper proposes a high-efficiency R717 ocean thermal energy conversion power cycle with an expansion valve and a cooler. To provide the basic design data for the operating variables of this high-efficiency R717 OTEC power cycle, the cycle performance was analyzed ising the HYSYS programe.le performance was analyzed ising the HYSYS programe.
