The pipeline has historically been the preferred means to transport CO₂ due to its low cost for short distances and opportunities for economies of scale. However, interest in vessel-based transport of CO₂ is growing. While most of the literature has assumed that CO₂ shipping would take place at low...

Required refrigerant charge in heat pump systems with propane is analyzed. Two systems are compared: The first a direct heat pump, with fin-and-tube heat exchangers, and the second an indirect system, with plate heat exchangers with an additional brine-to-air heat exchanger. Each system was...

Compactness and weight minimization are key aspects for successful and widespread implementation of waste heat recovery steam cycles in off-shore oil and gas platforms due to the site weight and volume footprint constraints. The power plant off-shore must be designed for flexibility in its...

Adding a bottoming cycle to the gas turbines powering offshore oil and gas production plants allows additional power to be produced from recovered excess heat. Hence, the power demand of the platform can be met by burning less natural gas, and the CO₂ emissions reduced by up to 25%. However, the...

Design of compact, lightweight, and robust heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) is important for the implementation of offshore bottoming cycles. In this work, a novel methodology integrating flow-induced vibration analysis is proposed for the design optimization of HRSG. The vibration analysis...

Insight into thermal–hydraulic correlations of plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers is of great interest in many industrial applications. Numerical simulations allow to efficiently and accurately obtain air-side heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for a broad variety of heat exchanger...
