… that’s good, Robin. Even better would be na organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to convert the modest temperature gain in the warm fluid into electrical power.
Forget calorimetry when you have enough COP for self-power which is the present claim. Nothing proves “net gain” like “self-powering” … In fact small ORC systems are commercially available… Hmmm… From: [email protected] A molten salt coolant in a flow calorimeter with an inlet temperature of e.g. 300 C and an outlet temperature of 300+ C, would allow both accurate measurement and high power operation concurrently. The whole should be well insulated to ensure low losses. Outlet temperature would be determined by controlling the flow rate. Such an arrangement would not only allow for accurate measurement, it would also constitute a prototype power reactor. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
