Investigating the Effects of Prandtl's Secondary Flows on sCO2 Heat Transfer Using Reynolds Stress Models
Christopher Bockenek
Heat transfer of supercritical fluids is found in a wide range of applications, including novel power cycles, electronics cooling schemes, waste heat recovery, and green HVAC designs. Among these, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) is especially promising due to its favorable but complex thermodynamic properties near the critical point. These properties strongly influence heat transfer but are highly sensitive and uncertain, requiring further experimental and numerical research to develop accur
