Thermodynamic Analysis of the Air-Cooled Transcritical Rankine Cycle Using CO<sub>2</sub>/R161 Mixture Based on Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers

Heat rejection in the hot-arid area is of concern to power cycles, especially for the transcritical Rankine cycle using CO<sub>2</sub> as the working fluid in harvesting the low-grade energy. Usually, water is employed as the cooling substance in Rankine cycles. In this paper, the transc...
