Abstract

A supercritical CO2 (sCO2) supersonic ejector improves the coefficient of performance (COP) in combined power and cooling systems by compressing a secondary stream through entrainment and mixing with a high-momentum primary stream. The performance of the ejector is crucial to system efficiency and is influenced by complex gas dynamic shock interactions and shear layers which is further complicated by the rapid variations in thermophysical of sCO2. In this regard, aerodynamic duct shaping plays a pivotal role in optimizing ejector efficiency. The present paper seeks to optimize a sCO2 ejector using a surrogate model derived from computational fluid dynamics data. The model relies on a comprehensive dataset generated using a simulation tool coupled with REFPROP database to account for variations in thermophysical properties of sCO2. Subsequently, a genetic aggregation technique is used to train and improve the model via supervised machine learning. The influence of critical design parameters such as radius of mixing section, nozzle exit point, and mixing duct length on the performance of the ejector is enabled by a sensitivity analysis study facilitated by design space exploration. Finally, a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is incorporated in the surrogate model to optimize the ejector performance by maximizing entrainment ratio and compression ratio, while minimizing entropy generation. It is found that stagnation temperature ratio is a key influencing parameter responsible for enhancing mixing layer growth to improve the ejector performance. The optimized ejector shows an enhanced efficiency of ∼ 25 % compared to a non-optimized ejector.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics. Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
