✦ Synopsis

The specific output power of a shipboard nuclear propulsion system is analyzed. The plant consists of a Rankine cycle coupled to coolant from a nuclear reactor (heat source) and ocean water (heat sink) by heat transfer. The specific power is optimized by using thermodynamic software called CyclePad and computer graphics.
