Abstract
The recent interest to use supercritical CO2 (sCO2) in power cycle applications over the past decade has resulted in a large amount of literature that focuses on specific areas related to sCO2 power cycles in great detail. Such focus areas are demonstration test facilities, heat exchangers, turbomachinery, materials, and fluid properties of CO2 and CO2 mixtures, to name a few. As work related to sCO2 power cycles continues, more technical depth will be emphasized in each focus area, whereas those unfamiliar with the topic are left to undertake the large task of understanding fundamentals on their own. This short course aims to remedy this problem by providing an introduction to the following aspects of this new and exciting field.
1. sCO2 Power Cycle Basics and Proposed sCO2 Cycles
2. sCO2 Power Cycle Applications
3. sCO2 Turbomachinery
4. sCO2 Materials
5. sCO2 Heat Exchangers
6. sCO2 Research
