Using supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) as a working fluid has increasingly gained attention in the energy industry. sCO₂ power cycles has various advantages, such as high cycle efficiency, compact turbomachinery, and potential zero CO₂ emission. Along with these benefits, materials degradation issues have also been emphasized in the last decade. Aqueous...
The corrosion resistance of steels and nickel based alloys was investigated in supercritical CO2 (sCO2). Two types of experiments were conducted. The first set of experiments were conducted in a low temperature aqueous environment to simulate conditions that would exist in direct sCO2 power cycle low temperature heat exchangers. The...
