Abstract
Considering the nuclear energy relevance, the objective this work is comparing the real and ideal thermal yields of PWR nuclear power plants, identifying the main reasons for differences and analyzing improvement points. Firstly, a bibliographic review was carried out considering concepts of thermodynamic, heat transfer and operation of nuclear power plants. After, applying the concepts and calculations, a thermodynamic analysis was performed for real and ideal secondary circuit of Angra 1 and Angra 2 nuclear plants. The Rankine Cycle and the Regenerative Rankine Cycle were considered. The PROPVAP and CycleTempo softwares were used. Results obtained were analyzed and the conclusion can be used for further studies.
