Hi Paul.
Just a doubt about the HTF of the power cycle.
The HTF cold temperature exiting the power cycle is calculated by:
As the HTF is the power cycle fluid, where do we define cp?
In Neises It says that: "Because SAM’s technology models depend on the relationship between temperatures, mass flow rate, and thermal power to balance mass and energy between component, it is important that the custom cycle model is assuming HTF properties corresponding to the HTF selected in the SAM user interface (UI)."
Best regards,
Bernardo.
