Improving Efficiency and Reducing Costs for the Supercritical C02 Design Process
SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC Topic: 18Supercritical CO2 cycles have the potential to significantly improve efficiency and reduce emissions in power generation. However, the unique fluid dynamic properties of supercritical CO2 that enable these higher efficiencies also complicate the design and layout of the system, particularly its turbomachinery components. The problem stems specifically from the highly non-linear properties of CO2, ...
