Thermodynamic Efficiency of an Advanced 4th Generation VHTR Propulsion Engine for Large Container Ships

Thermodynamic Efficiency of an Advanced 4th Generation VHTR Propulsion Engine for Large Container Ships

In response to global initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the maritime industry must adopt green propulsion solutions. This paper analyses the operational potential of very high-temperature reactors (VHTRs) as an innovative propulsion source for large container ships. Calculations are ca...
