GAS TURBINE ENGINES

摘要

A closed cycle gas turbine power plant has a compressor, a nuclear reactor disposed in a pressure vessel and a turbine which is connected to receive and be driven by working fluid compressed by the compressor and heated by the nuclear reactor. A heat exchanger receives the working fluid expanded in the turbine and returns it to the compressor, the turbine and the compressor being removably disposed within a first recess in the pressure vessel and the heat exchanger being removably disposed in a second recess in the pressure vessel.
