Convective heat transfer characteristics of China RP-3 aviation kerosene at supercritical pressure

Regenerative cooling of aviation kerosene plays an important role for thermal protection of scramjet engines. Since the thermophysical properties of kerosene change acutely near the pseudo-critical point, heat convective in kerosene pipe flow is complicated. Here the convective heat transfer characteristics of China RP-3 aviation kerosene at a supercritical pressure are numerically studied usin...

Fast heat transfer calculations in supercritical fluids versus hydrodynamic approach.

This study investigates the heat transfer in a simple pure fluid whose temperature is slightly above its critical temperature. We propose an efficient numerical method to predict the heat transfer in such fluids when the gravity can be neglected. The method, based on a simplified thermodynamic approach, is compared with direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations perf...

Heat Transfer Characteristics and Prediction Model of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO2) in a Vertical Tube

Due to its distinct capability to improve the efficiency of shale gas production, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) fracturing has attracted increased attention in recent years. Heat transfer occurs in the transportation and fracture processes. To better predict and understand the heat transfer of SC-CO2 near the critical region, numerical simulations focusing on a vertical flow pipe were p...
