    Abstract In the current work, we simulate the condensation of supercritical CO2 during its high speed flow inside two different converging-diverging nozzles. We use the homogeneous equilibrium method and the classical nucleation theory based non-equilibrium phase change model for this purpose. The simulation results indicate significant influence of the nozzle inlet condition, nozzle shape and the fluid thermophysical behaviour on the nonequilibrium conditions prevailing inside the nozzles. We observe very low, ∼0.15 K, supercooling for the flow of CO2 inside the Claudio Lettieri nozzle compared to the supercooling of ∼3 K observed for the Berana nozzle. Very high nucleation rate (∼… More >

    Thermal Analysis of the Transcritical Organic Rankine Cycle Using R1234ze(E)/R134a Mixtures as Working Fluids

    Panpan Zhao1,*, Dongdong Wang2, Dao Zhou1, Huan Zhang1, Yun Sun1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.117, No.4, pp. 209-224, 2020, DOI:10.32604/EE.2020.010567

    Abstract A R1234ze(E) based mixture was investigated as a promising environmental solution to enhance system performance of a transctitical organic Rankine cycle(TORC). The main purpose of this study is to research the thermodynamic properties of TORC system using R1234ze(E)/R134a mixtures with various mass fraction of R1234ze(E) when recovering engine exhaust heat. R1234ze(E) was selected due to its zero ozone depletion potential, relative lower global warming potential and it can remedy the thermodynamic properties of traditional working fluid R134a. Thermal analysis and optimization about expander inlet temperature and pressure of TORC, mass fraction of R134a in R134a/R1234ze(E) mixtures are carried out. According… More >
