Publications: New Book Introduces Technology and Reviews the Properties of SCO2 Relevant to Power Cycles

Fundamentals and Applications of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) Based Power Cycles

Editors: Klaus Brun, Peter Friedman, Richard Dennis. Hardcover ISBN: 9780081008041 eBook ISBN: 9780081008058 Imprint: Woodhead Publishing Published Date: 25th January 2017

Fundamentals and Applications of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) Based Power Cycles aims to provide engineers and researchers with an authoritative overview of research and technology in this area. Part One introduces the technology and reviews the properties of SCO2 relevant to power cycles.

Other sections of the book address components for SCO2 power cycles, such as turbomachinery expanders, compressors, recuperators, and design challenges, such as the need for high-temperature materials. Chapters on key applications, including waste heat, nuclear power, fossil energy, geothermal and concentrated solar power are also included. The final section addresses major international research programs.
