Author Description

This book is a comprehensive introduction to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) concepts, including its singular flow and heat transfer characteristics, the basic principles of sCO2 power systems, and related challenges and solutions. It also explores how to expand to multi-energy complementary systems based on CO2’s unique properties and introduces the latest research progress. The relevant energy technologies mentioned in this book use CO2 as a medium to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector, which can help in achieving carbon neutrality worldwide. Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles and Related Energy Systems is an important power and energy engineering reference for students, engineers, and scientists in energy, environmental, and chemical fields. It is also an excellent primer for those in other fields who need a basic understanding of sCO2 power systems. Presents the unique properties of supercritical CO2; Covers novel supercritical CO2 power systems and implementation methods; Explains reducing carbon emissions with carbon dioxide.
