Abstract

Heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) fluid in collectors of a solar Rankine cycle system is experimentally investigated at different flow conditions. In the experiments, temperature, pressure and mass flow rate are measured, and local and average heat transfer coefficients are investigated. Study shows that the thermophysical properties of CO2 near the critical point have significant effects on the S-CO2 local heat transfer behaviors. The heat transfer of S-CO2 is also dependent on the mass flow rate, input heat flux and pressure at inlet of test section.
