Fundamentals of Supercritical CO2

Free Webinar: Fundamentals of Supercritical CO₂

Join us Wednesday, July 13, 2022, at 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m. (U.S. Central Time)

Hosts: Jason Wilkes, Ph.D.

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 webinar introduces using sCO₂ in power cycle applications, aimed at those who are unfamiliar, or only somewhat familiar with the topic. This webinar includes a brief review of CO₂ and its current industrial uses, a primer on thermodynamic power cycles, an overview of supercritical CO₂ power cycle applications and machinery design considerations, and a summary of some of the current research and future trends.
