Abstract The present paper studies through numerical methods, the thermodynamic heat transfer characteristics of free convection flow of supercritical nitrogen over a vertical cylinder. In the present analysis, the values of volumetric thermal expansion coefficient ($\beta$) are evaluated based on Redlich-Kwong equation of state (RK-EOS) and Van der Waals equation of state (VW-EOS). The calculated analytical thermal expansion coefficient values using RK-EOS are very close to NIST data values in comparison with VW-EOS. A set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the supercritical fluid (SCF) flow are derived, converted into non-dimensional form with the help of suitable dimensionless quantities and solved using Crank-Nicolson implicit finite difference method. The simulations are carried out for nitrogen in the supercritical region. The obtained numerical data is expressed in terms of graphs and tables for various values of physical parameters. The increasing value of reduced temperature decreases the average Nusselt number and skin-friction coefficient, whereas amplifying value of reduced pressure enhance the heat transfer rate and wall shear stress in the SCF region. Present results are compared with the previous results and the two are found to be in good agreement, i. e. the numerically generated results found to be in agreement with existing results.

Supercritical Carbon

Present research paper investigates the transient laminar free convective supercritical carbon dioxide flow past a semi-infinite vertical cylinder using numerical methods. Two new thermodynamic models for the supercritical fluid (SCF) flow are considered. Based on these models, for supercritical carbon dioxide, two new equations for thermal expansion coefficient are obtained on the basis of Redlich–Kwong equation of state (RK-EOS) and Van der Waals equation of state (VW-EOS). Based on the calculated values of thermal expansion coefficient, it is shown that not only RK-EOS is closer to experimental values but also gives greater accuracy when compared to VW-EOS validating RK-EOS as suitable model for predicting natural convective properties of carbon dioxide under supercritical condition. The governing equations of SCF flow are solved numerically using Crank–Nicolson implicit finite difference scheme. Numerical simulations are performed for carbon dioxide in the region of its critical point. Results in subcritical, supercritical, and near-critical regions are shown graphically and discussed for different physical parameters. From the obtained numerical results, it is clear that the steady-state time increases for the increasing values of reduced temperature and reduced pressure for carbon dioxide in supercritical region.

Present numerical study examines the free convection heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water flow past a stretching sheet. A suitable equation for thermal expansion coefficient in supercritical fluid region is derived based on the equation of state approach (EOS) in terms of compressibility factor, pressure and temperature. In the present study Redlich-Kwong equation of state (RK-EOS) is used to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient in supercritical region. The values of thermal expansion coefficient calculated through RK-EOS lies close to the NIST data values when compared to the other equations of state like VW-EOS (Van der Waals equation of state) and Ideal gas-EOS. Also, the behaviour of Nusselt number is studied to characterize the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water. However, the equations governing the supercritical fluid flow past a stretching sheet are coupled and nonlinear in nature. Hence, Runge-Kutta fourth-order integration scheme with shooting technique (RK-SM) is used to solve these equations. Numerical computations are performed for supercritical water (SCW) under the influence of various control parameters. Similarity solutions are obtained in terms of flow profiles in supercritical fluid region. Present study reports that, the normal velocity profile decreases and temperature field increases for the increasing values of reduced pressure and reduced temperature. Also, axial velocity profile shows the dual behaviour for the increasing values of unsteady parameter, reduced temperature and reduced pressure in the supercritical boundary layer region. Further, the component of normal velocity profile decays for the increasing values of unsteady parameter in supercritical fluid region. The calculated values of thermal expansion coefficient using Redlich-Kwong equation of state lies in the proximity of NIST data values when compared to Van der Waals and Ideal gas equations of state. Also, the local skin-friction coefficient decreases for the increasing values of reduced pressure and reduced temperature.

Global warming is currently one of the most serious environmental challenges in the world. The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere is a dominating factor to global warming .O2 / CO2 combustion technology is a new generation of clean coal power generation technology[1],it can directly capture high concentration of CO2 and make the pollutant resource ,so it is one of the most promising feasible technical to reduce CO2 emissions [2]. Compared with conventional pulverized coal combustion boiler, O2 / CO2 combustion technology can be used to produce a CO2 rich flue gas stream. So physical parameters had a very big change, such as flue gas heat capacity, motion viscosity, prandtl number and so on. Thus they affect the heat transfer characteristics [3] inside the furnace.In order to study the heat transfer characteristics of the furnace; this paper established a dynamic mathematical model for the radiation heat transfer progress of the furnace and adequate for control system design.

Cylindrical Annulus

The oscillatory natural convection between two concentric cylinders is numerically investigated. The effect of Prandtl number on flow and heat transfer characteristics with considering the magnetic field effects is investigated. For different values of physical parameters, critical Rayleigh numbers are determined. For buoyancy term, the Boussinesq approximation is used, and the numerical solutions are obtained using the finite volume method. For this kind of Prandtl number, the flow and heat transfer characteristics are unique and independent of the Prandtl number. Stability diagram (RaCr-Pr) highlights the dependence of RaCr via Prandtl numbers and various Hartmann number. The importance of this modeling is its practical application for stabilizing or weakening the convective effects in the design of magnetic systems.
