Next Generation Power Plants: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
Next Generation Power Plants: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide When Carbon Dioxide (CO2) operates above its critical point, it is called Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) where there is no distinction between liquid and gas phase. In this phase CO2 undergoes a continuous, non-isothermal transition from “gas-like” to “liquid-like” properties resulting in significant spikes in specific heat and […]
Does two identical twisted tape inserts each with opposite twist result in a different thermal hydraulic performance?
Does two identical twisted tape inserts each with opposite twist result in a different thermal hydraulic performance? Detailed single phase heat transfer and pressure drop tests were conducted in a tube with two types of twisted tapes as shown in Figure 1. A twist ratio (L/D) is defined as the ratio of twist pitch at […]
