Thermal Boundary Condition Effects On Local Supercritical Co2 Heat Transfer Trends In Tubes, Nicholas C. Lopes
Thermal Boundary Condition Effects On Local Supercritical Co2 Heat Transfer Trends In Tubes, Nicholas C. Lopes
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) is a promising heat transfer fluid for the refrigeration and power generation industries due to its unique thermal properties and low environmental impact. To understand it as an alternative to traditional working fluids, the thermophysical and heat transfer phenomena of sCO2 are often studied using simplified geometries (tubes). Focus has been placed on investigating averaged heat transfer trends under an array of flow conditions with either a constant wall heat flux, constant wall temperature, or conjugate thermal boundary condition. Less emphasis has been placed on studying local sCO2 heat transfer developments. Tubular sCO2 numerical models that …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a technology that uses a variety of methods to ultimately apply layers of material and create products (Ford & Despeisse, 2016; Ford, Mortara & Minshall, 2016). Although there has been an expansion in recent technology, AM has been used in manufacturing for a few decades (Ford, Mortara, et al., 2016). Since the late 1980s, AM has grown from simple product designs, with a focus on prototyping and customization, to modern times with billions of dollars in revenue and large-scale production of consumer and industrial products (Cotteleer, 2014). Forecasts showed a near $10 billion market by 2020, …
