In this paper, we present a new systematic optimization approach to identify maximum-efficiency architectures for … identify the maximum-efficiency architecture permitted by physics. The concept central to this approach is that of chemical … even with modest device technology (e.g., turbine inlet temperature of 1650 K), maximum efficiency above 50% can be …
