Abstract: The quadrature method of moments (QMOM) has recently attracted much attention in representing the size distribution of liquid droplets in wet-steam flows using the n-point Gaussian quadrature. However, solving transport ...

Abstract: Centrifugal compressors are one of the best choices among compressors in supercritical Brayton cycles. A supercritical CO2 centrifugal compressor increases the pressure of the fluid which state is initially very close to ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of moment-based methods and a monodispersed model (Mono) in predicting the droplet size distribution and behavior of wet-steam flows. The studied moment-based methods are a conventional ...

Abstract: Rankine and Brayton cycles are common energy conversion cycles and constitute the basis of a significant proportion of global electricity production. Even a seemingly marginal improvement in the efficiency of these cycles ...

Abstract: The supercritical CO2 (sCO2) Brayton cycle has been attracting much attention to produce the electricity power, chiefly due to its higher thermal efficiency with the relatively lower temperature at the turbine inlet compared ...

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 ...

Abstract: The estimation of boundary layer losses requires the accurate specification of the freestream velocity, which is not straightforward in centrifugal compressor blade passages. This challenge stems from the jet-wake flow ...
