A preliminary design of a coal burning 25,000
H? naval ship propulsion plant was completed. The system consists
of a combined Closed Brayton cycle and bottoming RarJcine
cycle. Coal combustion capability is achieved by using a
Pressurised Fluidized Bed (PFB) heater. A thermodynamic
analysis and volume estimate was conducted for various Brayton
cycle compressor pressure ratios ( pi TC ) .
