Non-equilibrium condensation of water vapour in supersonic flows with shock waves (2019)
Journal Article
Wen, C., Karvounis, N., Walther, J. H., Ding, H., & Yang, Y. (2020). Non-equilibrium condensation of water vapour in supersonic flows with shock waves. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 149, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2019.119109

The fluid flow and heat and mass transfer in a supersonic separator are not 14 understood well due to the complicated interaction of the supersonic flow, swirling flow, 15 phase transition and shock waves. In the present study, we develop a wet steam... Read More about Non-equilibrium condensation of water vapour in supersonic flows with shock waves.

Entropy generation and exergy destruction in condensing steam flow through turbine blade with surface roughness (2019)
Journal Article
Ding, H., Li, Y., Lakzian, E., Wen, C., & Wang, C. (2019). Entropy generation and exergy destruction in condensing steam flow through turbine blade with surface roughness. Energy Conversion and Management, 196, 1089-1104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2019.06.066

In the steam turbine, the wetness loss due to vapor condensation is one of the most crucial losses at low-pressure stage. This study focused on entropy generation and exergy destruction of condensing steam flow in turbine blade with the roughness. Th...

An efficient approach to separate CO2 using supersonic flows for carbon capture and storage (2019)
Journal Article
Wen, C., Karvounis, N., Honore Walther, J., Yan, Y., Feng, Y., Yang, Y., & Yang, Y. (2019). An efficient approach to separate CO2 using supersonic flows for carbon capture and storage. Applied Energy, 238, 311-319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.01.062

The mitigation of CO2 emissions is an effective measure to solve the climate change issue. In the present study, we propose an alternative approach for CO2 capture by employing supersonic flows. For this purpose, we first develop a computational flui... Read More about An efficient approach to separate CO2 using supersonic flows for carbon capture and storage.
