Over the years, the supercritical carbon dioxide (s−CO2) Brayton cycle has been developed as a promising working fluid to replace supercritical water (s−H2O) Rankine cycle. It could be used in various energy systems, including Generation IV nuclear reactors, concentrated solar power plants, fossil fuel thermal power plants, waster heat recovery, etc. due to its merits of high thermal efficiency, simple physical footprint, compact equipment size, high flexibility on operation, simple layout, compact turbomachinery.1
