Abstract

A thermodynamic analysis of CO2 closed-cycle gas turbine is presented in this paper. Two processes are investigated - base process and the same process upgraded with a heat regenerator. Maximum specific useful work is 159.94 kJ/kg for both observed processes. Involving of heat regenerator inside base CO2 closed-cycle gas turbine process requires attention due to required temperature differences - high pressure ratios cannot be obtained with a high efficiency heat regenerator. Base CO2 closed-cycle gas turbine process did not reach cycle efficiency higher than 25%, while for the upgraded process the cycle efficiency can reach 40% at high pressure ratio and for high regenerator efficiency. Additionally, multilayer perceptron is trained in order to achieve high quality models for estimating specific useful work and efficiency for both, base and upgraded process. As a result, MLP with three hidden layers achieved high values of R2 score.
