Abstract:Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) cycles are considered as a promising technology for next generation concentrated solar thermal, waste heat recovery, and nuclear applications. Particularly at small scale, where radial inflow turbines can be employed, using sCO2 results in both system advantages and simplifications of the turbine design, leading to improved performance and cost reductions. This paper aims to provide new insight toward the design of radial turbines for operation with sCO2 in the 100–200 kW range. The quasi-one-dimensional mean-line design code topgen is enhanced to explore and map the r
