“…Gupta et al contributed to the development of design and optimization models for the HEXs by improving the heat transfer correlations [71] and geometrical configuration [73], who also set up test rigs for helium-based cryogenic CWHE [74]. Wang et al developed a graph-based model [75] and a simulation tool [76] for cryogenic heat transfer. Skaugen et al [77] developed a distributed parameter model for PFHE to predict the HEX performance, and showed an accuracy comparable to that of Aspen HYSYS software package.…”

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) uses air as both the storage medium and working fluid, it falls into the broad category of thermo-mechanical energy storage technologies. Such a technology offers several advantages including high energy density and scalability, cost-competitiveness and non-geographical constraints, and hence has attracted a growing interest in recent years. As a result, several reviews have been published on the topic. However, these reviews covered little in the following aspects of LAES: dynamic simulation and optimisation, key components for LAES, LAES applications through integration, and unified economic model and cost models for LAES. This article provides a comprehensive review on the LAES technology and fills the above gaps. Apart from applications in electrical grids such as peak-shaving, load shifting, and dealing with intermittency of renewable generation, the review also shows a diverse range of other LAES applications through integration, including waste heat and cold energy recovery and utilisation, multi-energy-vector service provision, and sector coupling for chemical production and carbon capture. The review also led to the recommendation of several areas of LAES for future research and development, including dynamic characteristics of whole LAES system integrated with renewables and end users; thermo-economic and dynamic optimization of stand-alone LAES and integrated systems; and experimental study on commercial systems.

“…In the cryogenic temperature range, fluid properties change significantly with temperature (Barron, 1999;Sunden et al, 2016). There are many complications associated with the design of these types of HEs because of the high cost of prototypes fabricating and performing experiments for such a large-scale setup (Wang et al, 2015). Therefore, simulation-based and analytical design methods have high efficiency and need less resources.…”

“…Analytical models are essential tools in designing SWHEs and recognizing their operational conditions. In the literature, Wang et al (2015) proposed a "distributed-parameter model" for modelling of SWHEs used in natural gas liquefaction processes. In their model, equivalent flow resistance is used to describe the nonlinear behaviour of the mass flow rate distribution through flow circuits.…”

Purpose Spiral-wound heat exchangers (SWHEs) are widely used in different industries. In special applications, such as cryogenic (HEs), fluid properties may significantly depend on fluid temperature. This paper aims to present an analytical method for design and rating of SWHEs considering variable fluid properties with consistent shell geometry and single-phase fluid. Design/methodology/approach To consider variations of fluid properties, the HE is divided into identical segments, and the fluid properties are assumed to be constant in each segment. Validation of the analytical method is accomplished by using three-dimensional numerical simulation with shear stress transport k-ω model, and the numerical model is verified by using the experimental data. Moreover, the HE cost is selected as the main criterion in obtaining the proper design, and the most affordable geometry is selected as the proper design. Findings The accuracy of different heat transfer and pressure drop correlations is investigated by comparing the analytical and numerical results. The average errors in the calculation of effectiveness, shell-side pressure drop and tube-side pressure drop using the analytical method are 2.1%, 13.9% and 13.3%, respectively. Moreover, the effect of five main geometrical parameters on the SWHE cost is investigated. The results indicate that the effect of longitudinal pitch ratio on the SWHE cost can be neglected, whereas other geometrical parameters have a significant impact on the total cost of the SWHE. Originality/value This work contains a versatile and low-cost analytical method to design and rating the SWHEs considering the variable fluid property with consistent shell geometry. The previous studies have introduced complex methods and have not considered the consistency of shell geometry.
