The present paper aims to propose an original steam generation system, which resulted suitable for the application to the secondary loops of lead-cooled fast reactors: reaction heat is extracted from the lead by means of a coolant under vapor phase, thanks to both an external feed-water boiling...

The paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the thermodynamic concept of heat regeneration in steam power plants with a finite number of bleedings. A regenerative Rankine cycle is compared to a complex system (CHC – complete hybrid cycle) composed by one non-regenerative Rankine...

The EBBSG (External Boiling Bayonet Steam Generator) system, proposed in previous publications, offers an alternative to the classical once-through high pressure steam generators. This system exploits the combination between the Loeffler external boiling scheme and the bayonet-tube steam...
