Description

Thermal performances of a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) He/ammonia combined cycle (HAC) have been analyzed in this paper. Research shows that compared with the HCC cycle, the thermal and energy efficiencies of HAC increase by 6.0%-points and 8.1%-points respectively, and achieve 46.2% and 62.0% separately. The HAC cycle has effective nuclear energy utilization and good prospects for development. (authors)
