Dynamic modeling of near isothermal compressor for Transcritical carbon dioxide cycle to support efficiency improvement

Compressors are the primary components of energy consumption in vapor compression systems, drawing considerable research effort to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. This work presents an isothermal compressor that integrates the compression chamber with the gas cooler to achieve near-isothermal compression, resulting in up to 30% energy reduction compared to traditional isentropic compression, according to the experiment results. A detailed dynamic model for the isothermal compression cycle of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is first presented, coupled with a liquid-piston model for chamber design. The model is experimentally validated on a 3.5 kW prototype, yielding a 6.2% relative error in chamber pressure and a 0.5 K deviation in chamber temperature. The liquid piston exhibits reduced frictional heating and geometric adaptability relative to the mechanical piston. Leveraging these attributes, the study further evaluates approaches that enhance the heat transfer to achieve isothermal compression by increasing the effective heat transfer area during compression. As a result, simulations demonstrated up to a 5% improvement in the coefficient of performance over the baseline case through chamber design, providing guidelines for design of isothermal compression cycle.

Misaligned Wind‐Waves Behind Atmospheric Cold Fronts

Abstract Atmospheric fronts embedded in extratropical cyclones are high‐impact weather phenomena, contributing significantly to mid‐latitude winter precipitation. The three vital characteristics of the atmospheric fronts, high wind speeds, abrupt change in wind direction, and rapid translation, force the induced surface waves to be misaligned with winds exclusively behind the cold fronts. The effects of the misaligned waves under atmospheric cold fronts on air‐sea fluxes remain undocumented. Using the multi‐year in situ near‐surface observations and direct covariance flux measurements from the Pioneer Array off the coast of New England, we find that the majority of the passing cold fronts generate misaligned waves behind the cold front. Once generated, the waves remain misaligned, on average, for about 8 hr. The parameterized effect of misaligned waves in a fully coupled model significantly increases the roughness length (185%), drag coefficient (19%), and air‐sea momentum flux (11%). The increased surface drag reduces the wind speeds in the surface layer. The upward turbulent heat flux is weakly decreased by the misaligned waves because of the decrease in temperature and humidity scaling parameters being greater than the increase in friction velocity. The misaligned wave effect is not accurately represented in a commonly used wave‐based bulk flux algorithm. Yet, considering this effect in the current formulation improves the overall accuracy of parameterized momentum flux estimates. The results imply that better representing a directional wind‐wave coupling in the bulk formula of the numerical models may help improve the air‐sea interaction simulations under the passing atmospheric fronts in the mid‐latitudes.

OC6 Phase Ia: CFD Simulations of the Free-Decay Motion of the DeepCwind Semisubmersible

Currently, the design of floating offshore wind systems is primarily based on mid-fidelity models with empirical drag forces. The tuning of the model coefficients requires data from either experiments or high-fidelity simulations. As part of the OC6 (Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continued, with Correlation, and unCertainty (OC6) is a project under the International Energy Agency Wind Task 30 framework) project, the present investigation explores the latter option. A verification and validation study of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of the DeepCwind semisubmersible undergoing free-decay motion is performed. Several institutions provided CFD results for validation against the OC6 experimental campaign. The objective is to evaluate whether the CFD setups of the participants can provide valid estimates of the hydrodynamic damping coefficients needed by mid-fidelity models. The linear and quadratic damping coefficients and the equivalent damping ratio are chosen as metrics for validation. Large numerical uncertainties are estimated for the linear and quadratic damping coefficients; however, the equivalent damping ratios are more consistently predicted with lower uncertainty. Some difference is observed between the experimental and CFD surge-decay motion, which is caused by mechanical damping not considered in the simulations that likely originated from the mooring setup, including a Coulomb-friction-type force. Overall, the simulations and the experiment show reasonable agreement, thus demonstrating the feasibility of using CFD simulations to tune mid-fidelity models.

Preliminary Assessment of Additively Manufactured Cooling Channel Performance for Helium-Cooled Blanket Concepts

Sufficient cooling of the blanket first wall remains a critical challenge for the design and deployment of fusion power plants. Helium has been targeted as a potential blanket coolant due to its inertness and low neutron interactivity, among other advantages. However, the low thermal mass of helium creates a need for heat transfer enhancements in coolant channels to provide adequate cooling to the blanket’s first wall. Toward this end, a series of ribbed flow channels of various rib cross sections and configurations has been produced via additive manufacturing (AM) to study the efficacy of AM for first wall heat transfer enhancement and the optimization of heat transfer geometries. Helium cooling performance is studied in AM test articles at 4 MPa operating pressure, Reynolds numbers up to 197 000, and outer surface heat fluxes up to 42 kW/m 2 in the recently commissioned helium flow loop experiment (HFLE). Preliminary results of this study are presented herein. Heat transfer performance of nominally smooth (i.e., featureless) AM channels is quantified via measured Nusselt numbers and friction factors and compared to off-the-shelf smooth pipe experiments. Results are compared to existing correlations and used to discuss the effects of the AM processes on thermal-hydraulic performance. It is seen that the inherent roughness of the AM channels leads to an increase in both heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop when compared to the conventional pipe. In conclusion, recommendations are made for future studies based on these findings and additional considerations for the deployment of AM blanket cooling components.

Drag viscosity of metals and its connection to Coulomb drag

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in studies of hydrodynamic transport in electronic systems. We investigate the electron viscosity of metals and find a component that is closely related to Coulomb drag. By using linear-response theory, viscosity, which is a transport coefficient for momentum, can be extracted from the retarded correlation function of the momentum flux, i.e., the stress tensor. There exists a previously overlooked contribution to the shear viscosity from the interacting part of the stress tensor which accounts for the momentum flow induced by interactions. This contribution, which we dub drag viscosity, is caused by the frictional drag force due to long-range interactions. It is therefore linked to Coulomb drag which also originates from the interaction-induced drag force. Starting from the Kubo formula and using the Keldysh technique, we compute the drag viscosity of two- and three-dimensional metals along with the drag resistivity of double-layer two-dimensional electronic systems. Both the drag resistivity and drag viscosity exhibit a crossover from quadratic-in-$\textit{T}$ behavior at low temperatures to a linear behavior at higher temperatures. Although the drag viscosity appears relatively small compared with the normal Drude component for the clean metals, it may dominate hydrodynamic transport in some systems, which are discussed in the conclusion.

The Effect of Working Fluid Composition on Heat Transfer in a Direct Supercritical CO2 Power Cycle Recuperator

For pure CO2, the experimental measurements of the heat transfer coefficient in this paper agreed to within 5% of the classical Dittus-Boelter correlation. When nitrogen was added to the CO2 at concentrations from 0–28% nitrogen, these experiments found that the measured Nusselt numbers decreased by 20% below the Dittus-Boelter correlation evaluated with thermophysical properties for the N2/CO2 gas mixture. In general, the McAdams correlation evaluated with mixture properties predicted the friction factor within ±10%.

Assessment of a tomography-informed polyhedral discrete element modelling approach for complex-shaped granular woody biomass in stress consolidation

The design of handling equipment for granular biomass primarily requires experiments. Discrete element models (DEM) can provide designers with detailed insight into the behaviour of granular materials. However, granular biomass comprising complex-shaped particles is difficult to model with DEM. A tomography-informed DEM approach and an exhaustive assessment of the ability of the approach to predict the bulk behaviour of milled pines using experimental data is presented. Nano-CT scan was conducted to obtain 3D particle surface geometries as the basis for particle shape approximation by a polyhedral model and a sphero-polyhedral model. These models were applied in the simulation of a compressibility test. Our parametric study showed that particle Young's modulus and restitution coefficient are the two main properties influencing the simulated bulk behaviour of the DEM particles and that the level of approximating DEM particle shape for real particles is critical for accurately replicating the bulk behaviour of milled pines. The polyhedral model demonstrated better suitability than its sphero-polyhedral counterpart for modelling pine particles. The polyhedral model calibrated in a compressibility test was then applied in the simulations of a friction test without additional parameter tuning. Interlocking was dominant in the shear of bulk pine particles. Remarkably, the polyhedral model predicted the frictional behaviour of the pine particles when compared to the experimental results. The limitations of the model, as well as possible ways for enhancement, are discussed. This work provided novel insights into the suitability of complex-shaped DEM models for granular woody biomass.

Towards an intuitive application of WEC control co-design

A simple co-design example in a reduced parameter space is presented for an oscillating flap device. Initially, the WEC geometry and mass properties are considered along with drivetrain gear ratio, inertia, motor constant and stiffness under both PI and optimal control. This parameter space is reduced to those to which performance is most sensitive for a fixed geometry. The gear ratio, drivetrain stiffness, and flap mass are found to be the most impactful design criteria as they can create orders of magnitude variations in power performance. The performance of the optimized system is compared with several sub-optimal variants in terms of electrical and mechanical power capture, transmission coefficients, and transducer power gain. Notably, though substantial power capture improvements are demonstrated when an optimal controller is employed, this power capture remains sensitive to appropriate selections of drivetrain and flap design parameters, implying that control co-design procedures remain necessary for high-performing WECs. Furthermore, a number of practical caveats and extensions to the presented co-design methodology are suggested, including the characterization of system static friction, especially in the presence of high gear ratios.

Enhanced internal condensation of R1233zd(E) on micro- and nanostructured copper and aluminum surfaces

In-tube condensation of refrigerants is an important process which affects thermal efficiency in many applications, ranging from refrigeration and air conditioning to electronics thermal management. In-tube heat transfer and pressure drop are important to heat exchanger sizing and design. Here, in this work, micro- and nanostructured surfaces are applied to the internal wetted areas of copper and aluminum mini-channels to enhance the condensation heat transfer coefficient of hydrofluorocarbon R1233zd(E) refrigerant. To achieve scalable nanomanufacturing, surfaces were uniformly structured by relying on hydrochloric acid etching of aluminum and chemical oxidation of copper. The etched aluminum surfaces exhibited a 150% increase in heat transfer coefficient compared to smooth aluminum channels at specific qualities, with a 66% heat transfer coefficient improvement for complete phase change from saturated vapor to saturated liquid. Copper oxide structures showed no discernable difference in thermal-hydraulic performance when compared to smooth copper channels. Critical dimensionless parameters governing the heat transfer enhancement were identified by varying the tube internal diameter (2.3 mm to 4.7 mm), refrigerant mass flux (50 to 300 kg/(m 2 ·s)), and refrigerant quality (0 to 1). The dimensionless parameters include the Bond number normalized to the condensate film thickness, and the Weber number modified by the vapor friction factor. The relatively small increase in pressure drop (< 10%) associated with these surface enhancements further supports the promise of this method. The scalable and cost-effective techniques used to create these aluminum microstructures may reduce manufacturing cost when compared with current enhancement approaches such as extrusion, drawing, and welding.

Pressure Drop Correlation Improvement for the Near-Wall Region of Pebble-Bed Reactors

Packed beds play an important role in several engineering fields, with their applications in nuclear energy being driven by the development of next-generation reactors utilizing pebble fuel. The random nature of a packed pebble bed creates a flow field that is complex and difficult to predict. Porous media models are an attractive option for modeling pebble-bed reactors (PBRs), as they provide intermediate fidelity results and are computationally efficient. Porous media models, however, rely on the use of correlations to estimate the effect of complicated flow features on the pressure drop and heat transfer in the system. Existing correlations were developed to predict the average behavior of the bed, but they are inaccurate in the near-wall region where the presence of the wall affects the pebble packing. This work aims to investigate the accuracy of a porous media model using the Kerntechnischer Ausschuss (KTA) correlation, the most common pressure drop correlation for PBRs compared to the high-fidelity large eddy simulation (LES). A bed of 1568 pebbles is investigated at Reynolds numbers from 625 to 10 000. The bed is divided into five concentric subdomains to compare the average velocity, friction losses, and form losses between the porous media and LES codes. The comparison between the LES simulation and the KTA correlation revealed that the KTA correlation largely underpredicts the form losses in the near-wall region, leading to an overprediction of the velocity near the wall by nearly 30%. An investigation of the form losses across the range of Reynolds numbers in the LES results provided additional insight into how the KTA correlation may be improved to better predict these spatial effects in a pebble bed. These data suggest that the form coefficient near the wall must be increased by 48% while decreasing the form coefficient of the inner bulk region of the bed by 15%. The implementation of these improvements to the KTA correlation in a porous media model produced a radial velocity profile that saw significantly improved agreement with the LES results.

Circuit Modelling of the Mechanical-Motion-Rectifier for Electrical Simulation of Ocean Wave Power Take-off

As is the case with several other mechanical power takeoffs (PTOs), the mechanical-motion-rectifier (MMR) based PTO consists of components such as one-way clutches, gears, a ball screw, mechanical couplings, and a generator. Equivalent circuit models have been created in this paper to describe the dry frictions, viscous damping, and mechanical compliances in these components, so the non-ideal efficiency and nonlinear force of the PTO can be predicted in electrical simulations by integrating these sub-circuit models. The circuit model is simplified, and its parameters are categorized as dc and ac unknowns. The dc and ac tests on the PTO are performed sequentially to extract two sets of parameters through linear regression or nonlinear curve fitting. Then, the model is validated through its prediction capability over 25 test conditions on input forces, output voltages, and efficiencies, with correlation coefficients of 0.9, 0.98, and 0.981, respectively.

Discrete Measurements of the Least Horizontal Principal Stress from Core Data: An Application of Viscoelastic Stress Relaxation

Summary The emerging Paradox Oil Play in southeastern Utah is among the most significant unconventional plays in the western USA. The mean total undiscovered oil resources within just the Pennsylvanian Cane Creek interval of the Paradox Basin are believed to exceed 215 million barrels. However, to date, less than 5% (~9 million barrels) of the total Cane Creek resource has been produced from fewer than 40 wells, and only approximately one-half of those are horizontal wells. More than 95% of production is from the central Cane Creek Unit (CCU). Natural fractures are a key feature of many production wells, but stimulation by induced hydraulic fractures is not consistently successful. We hypothesize that more effective production in this play will rely on better fundamental characterization, especially on better quantification of the state of stress. Approximately 110 ft of core, well logs, and a diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT) were acquired from the State 16-2 well within the CCU. With these data, we applied two methods to constrain and clarify the state of stress. The first technique, the Simpson’s coefficient method, provides lower bounds on the two horizontal principal stresses and relies on only limited data. Alternatively, the viscoelastic stress relaxation (VSR) method is used to estimate the least horizontal principal stress, building on observations that principal stresses become more isotropic as the viscous behavior of a rock is more pronounced. Results of these two methods support the hypothesis that the state of stress in the CCU of the Paradox Basin is nearly lithostatic and isotropic. Other factors consistent with this hypothesis include high formation pore pressure, which tends to reduce the possible stress states by changing the frictional failure equilibrium; lack of induced fractures in the core, which should be present in the case of stress anisotropy; and interbedded halite layers, which given their high degree of ductility, probably lead to greater VSR for the entire sedimentary package.

Hydrodynamic and frictional modulation of deformations in switchable colloidal crystallites

Displacive transformations in colloidal crystals may offer a pathway for increasing the diversity of accessible configurations without the need to engineer particle shape or interaction complexity. To date, binary crystals composed of spherically symmetric particles at specific size ratios have been formed that exhibit floppiness and facile routes for transformation into more rigid structures that are otherwise not accessible by direct nucleation and growth. There is evidence that such transformations, at least at the micrometer scale, are kinetically influenced by concomitant solvent motion that effectively induces hydrodynamic correlations between particles. Here, we study quantitatively the impact of such interactions on the transformation of binary bcc-CsCl analog crystals into close-packed configurations. We first employ principal-component analysis to stratify the explorations of a bcc-CsCl crystallite into orthogonal directions according to displacement. We then compute diffusion coefficients along the different directions using several dynamical models and find that hydrodynamic correlations, depending on their range, can either enhance or dampen collective particle motions. These two distinct effects work synergistically to bias crystallite deformations toward a subset of the available outcomes.

Data-Driven Reduced-Order Modeling of Convective Heat Transfer in Porous Media

This work presents a data-driven Reduced-Order Model (ROM) for parametric convective heat transfer problems in porous media. The intrusive Proper Orthogonal Decomposition aided Reduced-Basis (POD-RB) technique is employed to reduce the porous medium formulation of the incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations coupled with heat transfer. Instead of resolving the exact flow configuration with high fidelity, the porous medium formulation solves a homogenized flow in which the fluid-structure interactions are captured via volumetric flow resistances with nonlinear, semi-empirical friction correlations. A supremizer approach is implemented for the stabilization of the reduced fluid dynamics equations. The reduced nonlinear flow resistances are treated using the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM), while the turbulent eddy viscosity and diffusivity are approximated by adopting a Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation-based approach. The proposed method is tested using a 2D numerical model of the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR), which involves the simulation of both clean and porous medium regions in the same domain. For the steady-state example, five model parameters are considered to be uncertain: the magnitude of the pumping force, the external coolant temperature, the heat transfer coefficient, the thermal expansion coefficient, and the Prandtl number. For transient scenarios, on the other hand, the coastdown-time of the pump is the only uncertain parameter. The results indicate that the POD-RB-ROMs are suitable for the reduction of similar problems. The relative L2 errors are below 3.34% for every field of interest for all cases analyzed, while the speedup factors vary between 54 (transient) and 40,000 (steady-state).

Mixtures of octanol and an ionic liquid: Structure and transport

Ionic liquids (ILs) with long alkyl substituents are amphiphilic, which leads to a bicontinuous liquid structure. The strongly interacting anionic and cationic head groups form a long range charge network, with the hydrocarbon tails forming a nonpolar domain. Such nonpolar domains have been shown to dissolve a variety of neutral organic solvents. In mixtures of ILs with solvents the neutral organic molecules residing in the nonpolar domains experience different environments and friction from the charged cations and anions. Thus, the neutral molecules diffuse much faster than predicted by hydrodynamic scaling using the average viscosity of the mixture. Here, we report studies on the structure and transport properties of mixtures of 1-octanol with the IL trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (P 6,6,6,14 + /NTf 2 – ). The majority of the atom fraction in the P 6,6,6,14 + cation comprises four hydrocarbon substituents. The unique amphiphilic nature of ILs with the P 6,6,6,14 + cation makes 1-octanol fully miscible with the IL at ambient temperatures. X-ray scattering experiments show that the IL structure persists in the mixtures for 1-octanol mole fractions as large as x oct = 0.90. The self-diffusion coefficients of the three molecular species in the mixtures were measured by NMR experiments. The self-diffusion of the P 6,6,6,14 + cation is well described by the Stokes–Einstein equation, while the diffusivity of the NTf 2 – anion is slightly lower than the hydrodynamic prediction. The measured diffusivities of octanol in these mixtures are 1.3–4 times higher than the hydrodynamic predictions.

Improving the modeling of near-wall interphase heat transfer in porous media models of Pebble Bed Reactors

Here, this work aims to improve capabilities for modeling localized effects in porous media models of Pebble Bed Reactors. The wall-channeling effect is the primary local phenomenon of interest in a PBR, where the presence of the reflector wall disrupts the pebble packing, causing the pebbles near the wall to pack less efficiently and creating large void regions. Accurate modeling of the near-wall region is important as it will affect core bypass flow and temperature predictions. Porous media models are commonly used for design scoping and plant-level simulations of PBRs. Although these models have some capabilities to model the near-wall region, the correlations that are available in porous media codes are often inaccurate when a multi-region model is used to discretize the near-wall region. This work employs a high-to-low analysis to study the accuracy of available interphase heat transfer closures. NekRS, a spectral element computational fluid dynamics code, is used to perform Large Eddy Simulations. These LES simulation results are compared to porous media model results from the Pronghorn porous media code. The friction term of the KTA drag closure is first improved, reducing the error in the prediction of the near-wall velocity from over 50% to less than 5%. This is combined with improvements to the form term from previous works to produce a drag closure that is capable of accurately modeling the wall-channeling effect across a variety of flow conditions. The Nusselt number predictions of several heat transfer correlations are compared to the high-fidelity results where it is found that the KTA heat transfer correlation is capable of accurately predicting the local Nusselt numbers that were determined in the high-fidelity simulation. Comparison of the radial solid temperature profiles, however, reveal discrepancies between NekRS and Pronghorn. It is discovered that the implementation of the interphase heat transfer coefficient that exists in many current porous media codes is not valid when local porosities are modeled. Instead, it is suggested that the interphase heat transfer coefficient should be dependent on the local porosity, the Nusselt number, and the local solid surface-to-volume ratio. Implementation of this change produces improvement in the agreement between the results obtained by NekRS and Pronghorn while using the KTA heat transfer correlation.

Radial Wall Jet Flow Over Sigmoidal Surfaces

Radial wall jet flows across flat smooth surfaces have been studied for decades. These studies show that the radial velocity of these jets decays inversely with distance from the nozzle with modest contribution from friction (Poreh, et al., 1967; Rajaratnam, 1976). However, the extent to which flat surface results apply to curved surfaces remains unclear. In this article we explore the influence of settled particle bed slope on these velocity profiles. We model the step change in thickness as a sigmoidal curve of variable steepness and use conservation of momentum to evaluate the velocity profile. We show that the velocity profile attenuates because of curvature. Next, we evaluate the influence of surface curvature on radial wall jet flow. Jet flows over particle beds often introduce curvature in the particle bed profile but the influence of the developed curvature on the velocity profile has not been explored. Here we develop a solution for steady fixed beds based on conservation of momentum. We find that surface curvature has a significant influence on the velocity decay coefficients and celerity of radial wall jets, provided there is velocity slip in the vicinity of the particle bed interface, which is strictly true for particle surfaces. Conservation of momentum predicts conditions where the forward momentum of the flow is directed completely upward. The solution identifies two new dimensionless groups that determine whether a curved surface is sufficient to block radial flow and force flow vertically.

Synthesis and acoustic properties study of castor‐oil‐based polyurethane foams with the addition of graphene‐oxide‐modified straw fibers

Abstract Polyurethane foam (PUF) can absorb sound by air friction and structural vibrations of cell walls. It is widely used as acoustic material in the automotive industry. According to existing studies, graphene oxide (GO) can improve the acoustic properties of PUF. However, GO tends to coalesce inside PUF. In this paper, straw fibers were modified with different concentrations of GO solution to embed GO on the surface of plant fibers. The GO was dispersed in the PUF using straw fibers. In addition, some studies show that the wrinkled morphology of the GO surface is believed to play a mechanical interlocking role in improving interfacial bonding, thus enhancing the stress transfer between the plant fibers and the polyurethane (PU) matrix and improving the mechanical properties of the PU composites. The acoustic and mechanical properties of the modified PU materials were observed by treating plant fibers with appropriate amounts of GO solution. The experimental study shows that the sample modified with 1 g L −1 GO solution reaches a maximum average sound absorption coefficient of 0.5838 when the straw fiber content reaches 0.5 g, and the sample modified with 2 g L −1 GO solution reaches a maximum transmission loss of 10.5333 when the straw fiber content reaches 1 g. © 2022 Society of Industrial Chemistry.
