Deliverables
D2.1 Selection of most interesting candidates and respective thermodynamic properties
A preliminary screening of interesting candidate fluids will be presented, and a selection of the most promising working fluids will be done according to their thermodynamic properties, expected thermal stability, physical and chemical properties. Using literature data, thermodynamic models for mixtures with CO2 will be developed
D2.2 Models for Heat Transfer Coefficient and Pressure Drop for CO2 Blends
Based on the CFD simulations and testing at lab-scale, heat transfer and pressure drop models are developed and are used for design and dimensioning the sCO2 power cycle heat exchangers.
D9.6 Data Management Plan
This deliverable will detail the data management policy, in particular what data will be generated by the project, how it will be exploited or made accessible, and how it will be curated and preserved.
