Influence of Molecular Complexity on Nozzle Design for an Organic Vapor Wind Tunnel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel blowdown wind tunnel is currently being commissioned at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, to investigate realgas behavior of organic fluids operating at subsonicsupersonic speed in the proximity of the liquidvapor ...
Numerical Investigation of Two-Phase Shock Waves in CO2 Flows Using a Modified Hertz–Knudsen Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the complex behavior of two-phase shocks in CO2 flows is essential for a variety of applications, including carbon capture and storage () and transcritical refrigeration cycles. This study presents a comprehensive ...
Amplification of Operational Uncertainty Induced by Nonideal Flows in Supersonic Turbine Cascades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In high-temperature transcritical organic Rankine cycles (ORCs), the expansion process may take place in the neighborhood of the thermodynamic critical point. In this region, many organic fluids feature a value of the ...
