Automated co-design of high-performance thermodynamic cycles via graph-based hierarchical reinforcement learning
arXiv:2604.13133v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Thermodynamic cycles are pivotal in determining the efficacy of energy conversion systems. Traditional design methodologies, which rely on expert knowledge or exhaustive enumeration, are inefficient and lack scalability, thereby constraining the discovery of high-performance cycles. In this study, we introduce a graph-based hierarchical reinforcement learning approach for the co-design of structure parameters in thermodynamic cycles. These cycles are encoded as graphs, with components and connections depicted as nodes and edges, adhering to grammatical […]
