For the process heat source generally assumed (HTR's) the limiting, second-law efficiency is about 69%, while for solar high temperature concentrators this limitation may go as high as 86%. The hybrid copper oxide--copper sulfate cycle, under development at IGT, uses a very high temperature endothermic process and appears to be very attractive from the point of view of process separations and process materials requirements. A base-case flowsheet efficiency of 37.1% has been calculated.Read More
