Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the thermo-hydraulic aspect of gas cooled fast 4 generation reactor. The paper is focused on the comparison of direct and indirect strategy of thermodynamics cycle of helium cooled reactor from the thermodynamics and turbomachinary point of view. The analyses respect pressure looses at all major part of the equipment - reactor, heat exchanger, pipe lines, etc. The compressor and gas turbines efficiency are includes in calculation as well. The working fluid in primary circuit is helium. In the secondary circuit a mixture of helium and nitrogen is considered. The Cycle characteristic point and efficiency calculation reflects mixture properties of the real gas. Calculation point out the influence of mixture composition on the basic structural parameters of the turbines, compressor and heat exchangers. Thermodynamics cycle efficiency, specific heat input/output, heat flux and cycle work will be presented as characteristic parameters.
