Brayton cycles as waste heat recovery systems on series hybrid electric vehicles by Bou Nader, Wissam

“…Therefore, the resulting high exhaust gas temperature presents the advantage of increased WHR efficiency. The Brayton cycle offers a relatively reduced weight compared to other WHR systems and presents a low complexity for integration in vehicles since it relies on an open system architecture with air as the working fluid, which consequently avoids the need for a condenser compared to the Rankine cycle. …”
