Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE ARTICLE IN WHICH THE EXPERIENCE GAINED IN THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF THE FLUORINATED ORGANIC FLUID ENGINE IS DISCUSSED. ENGINE EFFICIENCY, WITH REFERENCE TO THE NET POWER OUTPUT AT THE HIGH SPEED SHAFT PROVED TO BE AROUND 21% AT 523 K (250 DEG C) TURBINE INLET TEMPERATURE WHICH CAN BE COMPARED WITH 22.6% DESIGN VALUE AT SAME TEMPERATURE AND WITH 23.6% ORIGINAL GOAL AT 553 K (280 DEG C) TOP CYCLE TEMPERATURE. THE ANALYSIS OF THE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS WITHIN THE VARIOUS HEAT EXCHANGERS SUPPORTS THE SUSPICION THAT AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON WORKING FLUID TRANSPORT IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ACCURATE. E.W.S.
