co2 transcritical cycle: through the critical point
co2 transcritical cycle: through the critical point
(OP)
Hi there,
I'm wondering: what physically happens when you got a CO2 transcritical cycle going but for one reason or another the high pressure side would drop until it crosses the critical pressure. What happens ? A smooth transition to a subcritical cycle ?
(My EES model cannot go through the critical point )
Thank you
Fred

RE: co2 transcritical cycle: through the critical point
If your process soemhow includes long residence time at the critical point and there are any impurities in the CO2, then one can expect unusual solubilities and crystalization processes would occur. There is a whole industry that is based on such unusual processes.
