Desalination: Multi-effect distillation, multi-stage flash, reverse osmosis. Steam savings: Up to 3x less consumption. Hydrogen Production: Steam methane reforming (chemical equilibrium modeling). High-temperature electrolysis (HTE, 800-1000°C). Nuclear Cogeneration: Overall efficiency > 80% (e.g., Gösgen NPP → 54 MW process steam). Highlight: Areva’s Antares project → 58.9% overall efficiency!Hugoen-usThu, 22 Jan 2026 14:36:36 +0100https://server.s4e2.com/crc/tcnpp/chapters/chapter7/_toc/index.htmlThu, 22 Jan 2026 14:35:10 +0100https://server.s4e2.com/crc/tcnpp/chapters/chapter7/_toc/index.htmlTable of Contents — Volume 2 Advanced Modeling of Thermodynamic Cycles of Nuclear Power Plants 7.

Models and examples are accessible online but require the Thermoptim software for full interactivity. Download Thermoptim here to access the complete features. Some resources are historical examples from the Thermoptim portal, while others are updated models developed specifically for the book. They should not have any consequences on the understanding of the presented concepts. 📌 7.1.2 Single Pressure Combined Cycle Key Concepts Covered: Single pressure combined cycle design and thermodynamic analysis.
