Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Propane

The explanation is: The WORKING fluid chosen by Anderson OTEC cycle is propane. The operating pressures of such fluid at the boiler condenser temperatures are MUCH higher than those of water being ROUGHLY 10 bars at the boiler, and their SPECIFIC volumes are much lower, being comparable to those of steam in conventional POWER plants.
