This paper presents a preliminary design and performance analysis of a supercritical CO2 (SCO2) heat exchanger for an SCO2 power generation system. The purpose of designing a SCO2 heat exchanger is to provide a high-temperature and high-pressure heat exchange core technology for advanced SCO2 power generation systems. The target outlet temperature and pressure for the SCO2 heat exchanger were 600 °C and 200 bar, respectively. A tubular type with a staggered tube bundle was selected as the SCO2 heat exchanger, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and air were selected as heat sources. The design of the heat exchanger was based on the material selection and available tube specification. Preliminary performance evaluation of the SCO2 heat exchanger was conducted using an in-house code, and three-dimensional flow and thermal stress analysis were performed to verify the tube’s integrity. The simulation results showed that the tubular type heat exchanger can endure high-temperature and high-pressure conditions under an SCO2 environment.

Increasing Trend

With the increase of outlet pressure to compressor, all cycle COP is a reducing trend except R744, in addition, R744 compression cycle has an optimum high pressure. When the inlet temperatures of compressor gradually increase, the performances of all cycles basically unchanged, but the R744 compression cycle has an increasing trend. With the increasing of outlet temperature to the condenser, the performances of all cycles are decreased; instead with increasing of the evaporating temperature, all cycle COP is an increasing trend.

Increasing Trend

With increasing of high pressure, the performances of all kinds refrigerants except for R744 are all declined, transcritical R744 compression cycle has an optimum high pressure. With increasing of the evaporating temperature, all cycle COP is an increasing trend, with increasing of outlet temperature of condenser, the performances of all cycles are decreased. Under the same comparison conditions, the performance of R22 refrigerant cycle is superior to the cycles of other refrigerants, and the cycle of R11 refrigerant has the worst performance.

Sour Service

The scarcity of oil and gas resources made High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) reservoir attractive to be developed. The sour service environment gives an additional factor in material selection for HPHT reservoir. Austenitic 28 Cr and super duplex stainless steel 2507 (SS 2507) are proposed to be a potential materials candidate for such conditions. C-ring tests were performed to investigate their corrosion behavior, specifically sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and sulfide stress cracking susceptibility. The C-ring tests were done under 2.55 % H2S (31.48 psia) and 50 % CO2 (617.25 psia). The testing was done in static environment conditions. Regardless of good SSC resistance for both materials, different pitting resistance is seen in both materials. The pitting resistance did not follow the general Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN), since SS 2507 super duplex (PREN > 40) has more pitting density than 28 Cr austenitic stainless steel (PREN < 40). SS 2507 super duplex pit shape tends to be larger but shallower than 28 Cr austenitic stainless steel. 28 Cr austenitic stainless steel has a smaller pit density, yet deeper and isolated.

Biomass gasifiers are equipment’s that can generate producer gas which is a renewable, alternate source of energy that can be employed for power generation and thermal applications. In this experimental study the gasifier is tested in updraft and downdraft modes and performance analysis was carried out. For both the studies, casuarina wood and ambient air were used as feed stock and gasification agent respectively. From the experimental analysis it was inferred that the performance of the biomass gasifier was higher in downdraft mode than updraft mode.

Mechanical Elements

Measurement of high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) tools is regularly carried out in the hydrocarbons sector to determine not only the characteristics and performance of fluids inside the well, but also to evaluate the mechanical condition of the pipes and the automation of production. The mechanical features of these tools are significantly influenced by the mechanical design of the structure, which eventually affects their performance and integrity. This paper describes the design process and the analysis of the structural integrity of a HPHT measuring tool for oil wells in its sensors section. The classical theories of mechanical design and specifications of the ASME boilers and pressure vessels code were used. The study is performed for several operation variables in a numerical model using a commercial code of finite element method to determinate the maximum principal stresses, total displacements and safety factor in the mechanical elements that form the device. The numerical results were compared with the experimental data source from the laboratory tests.
