Experimental investigation of the CO2+SiCl4 mixture as innovative working fluid for power cycles: Bubble points and liquid density measurements
Résumé
Highlights Carbon dioxide/Silicon Tetrachloride mixture is proposed as innovative working fluid. Bubble points and liquid densities of the mixture are experimentally obtained. The experimental data are used for the fine-tuning of the equation of state. The thermodynamic efficiency of the mixture is simulated in next-generation CSP plant. The mixture enables +2 % electric efficiency gain compared to pure sCO2.
