In the present study, the three-dimensional steady-state numerical simulation has been performed by using ANSYS Fluent15.0 with SST k-ω low Reynolds turbulence model to study flow and heat transfer characteristics for supercritical CO2 in the horizontal straight tube with inner diameter di = 22.14 mm and heating length Lh = 2440 mm under heating condition. The reliability and accuracy of the numerical model was verified by the experimental data of flow and heat transfer of supercritical CO2 in horizontal tube. Firstly, flow and heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO2 was studied in horizontal tube. Based on the assumption that the supercritical CO2 will undergoes “phase transition” between liquid-like and vapor-like at pseudocritical temperature Tpc, the differences between top generatrix and bottom generatrix of horizontal tube at flow and heat transfer behaviors were revealed. The results show flow and heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO2 in horizontal tube are similar to those under subcritical pressure. Then, the influences of heat flux qw and mass flux G on flow and heat transfer of supercritical CO2 were analyzed. The higher heat flux qw is or the smaller mass flux G is, the higher inner wall temperature Tw,i at top generatrix is. The reasons for difference in the distribution of inner wall temperature Tw,i at top generatrix under different heat flux qw and mass flux G were explained by capturing detailed information about thermophysical properties distribution including specific heat at constant pressure cp and thermal conductivity λ, axial velocity distribution and turbulent kinetic energy distribution in the fluid domain. It is observed that vapor-like film thickness δ, vapor-like film property characterized by specific heat at constant pressure cp and thermal conductivity λ, axial velocity u and turbulent kinetic energy k are the main factors affecting the difference in inner wall temperature distribution at top generatrix. The present work can provide a theoretical guidance for design and safe operation of heat exchanger for supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle.
