Numerical Comparison of Thermal Energy Performance between Spouted, Fluidized and Fixed Beds Using Supercritical Co2 as Fluidizing Agent

“…[10], in which supercritical CO 2 (sCO 2 ) was used as the heat transfer fluid (HTF). The density of sCO 2 is similar to that of a common liquid [11,12]. Compared with traditional steam Rankine turbines [13,14], sCO 2 Brayton cycle technology has higher thermal efficiency and medium density, thereby allowing to reduce the size of the compressor, the heat exchanger, and the turbine, and making the system more compact and easy for construction.…”
