Abstract: The challenge in the design of oxy-combustors for direct-fired supercritical CO2 (sCO2) cycles is in addressing disparate performance metrics and objectives. Key design parameters to consider include, among others, injector ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to validate properties of mixtures relevant to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles. Direct-fired sCO2 cycles are a promising technology for the future power generation systems. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the second part of a study in which the leading edge and suction surface of a compressor blade was modified to delay onset of phase change for sCO2 compressors operating near the critical point. Using ...

Abstract: Highfidelity aerodynamic analysis has been demonstrated for mean performance and unsteady dynamics in a sCO2 compressor designed by Hanwha Power Systems Americas for a 10 MWe Concentrating Solar Power plant. Simulations ...

Abstract: The direct-fired supercritical carbon dioxide cycles are one of the most promising power generation methods in terms of their efficiency and environmental friendliness. Two important challenges in implementing these cycles ...
