Experimental Analysis On Effects Of Inclination And Direction On Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Heat Transfer For Internal Pipe Flow, Emmanuel Gabriel-Ohanu
Experimental Analysis On Effects Of Inclination And Direction On Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Heat Transfer For Internal Pipe Flow, Emmanuel Gabriel-Ohanu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-
Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) can be utilized as a working or heat transfer fluid in various thermal systems with applications in large-scale power cycles; portable power production units, coolant systems and devices. However, there are no sufficient methods and equations of heat transfer coefficient correlations, and in addition insufficient research studies about the mechanisms controlling heat transfer processes for sCO2. This study is motivated by the need to understand the intricate properties of sCO2 heat transfer and fluid dynamics with an emphasis on flow direction and inclination effects. This paper presents the study on effects of gravity, buoyancy on sCO2 …
