Oh yes? The pipes, exchangers, ... which allow the steam to be brought to 1000° and 1000bar work in compression?
You have to take the time to make us a diagram with some characteristic values. If I understood correctly from one of your posts, you live in the West Indies or around this longitude. That leaves you a little day, we'll find out after our night!
According to what I have in mind and the reality that this piece is going to be very complicated to manufacture, I think we can assume that it will be 3D printing like Elon Musk with his raptors.
this means that the steam generator and the laval nozzle is limited in size by the 3D printing machine.
By keeping the concentric design, which seems optimal to me, in the centre, there would be many GVs with a Laval nozzle, for each sector of our concentric design. Towards the end of the Laval nozzle, where there is a sufficiently low dynamic pressure to suck in liquid water at 70 bars, this liquid water could "sweat" in the nozzle, the interior of which would be porous.
At the end of each Laval nozzle, we attack the suction of steam at 285°C on static fins which continue to convert our kinetic energy into temperature, until we reach a stable state (static pressure/dynamic pressure) at 500 °C 70bar.
What brings the heat to 1000°c is the zinc vapor at 5bar and we leave at 500°c
So the limiting factor would be the materials coming out of the 3D printer. If Elon Musk "stays" at 300bar, it's probably for good reasons.
Otherwise, yes I am in the islands, warm, but in the Pacific!
