Selection of Noble Gas Binary Mixtures for Brayton Space Nuclear Power Systems

Binary noble gas mixtures are more suitable working fluids than pure gases for use in nuclear reactor space power systems, with Closed Brayton Cycle (CBC) engines. Helium has the best thermal properties but the smallest molecular weight, which increases the aerodynamic loading and hence, the size and mass of the turbomachinery. Mixing He with heavier gases of Krypton (Kr) and Xenon (Xe) to molecular weights of
