Abstract

Numerical Analysis on the Thermal Responses of Near-Critical Fluid to Transient Cooling Process

Highlights

  • When fluids go across the critical point or the equilibrium curve in the phase boundaries in the critical region, dramatic changes happen in fluid properties

  • The typical size of the critical chamber is around 5 mm, in which the fluid is initially rested under 1g or 0g conditions

  • The system is described by a continuous Navier-Stokes equations and solved by coupling the equation of state that written in scaling form for the near-critical properties, which is defined by the distance parameter ε = (T-Tc)/Tc
