STRUCTURAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF HYBRID HEAT EXCHANGERS IN THE S-CO2 POWER CYCLE FOR MARINE WASTE HEAT RECOVERY
ABSTRACT
Due to its high thermodynamic efficiency and small equipment size, the S-CO2 Brayton power cycle is a leading candidate for ship waste heat utilization. The hybrid heat exchanger formed by diffusion bonding of fins and etched plates can be used for heat exchange between the high temperature flue gas and the high pressure S-CO2. However, the law of structural strength is not clear for the hybrid heat exchanger. It is critical to carry out structural stress analysis. In this study, to assess the structural strength of the hybrid heat exchanger, the FEM was used and compared with a currently used method from ASME codes. The results show that the thermal stress caused by the temperature gradient is independent of the absolute temperature value. The change in the supercritical carbon pressure in the etched channel affects the mechanical stress more than the exhaust gas in the fin channel. Under design conditions, thermal stress and mechanical stress are equally important to the total stress of the hybrid heat exchanger. Moreover, the total stress is not a simple numerical superposition of thermal stress and mechanical stress but instead indicates a complex effect. From the FEM results, the etched channel exit that withstands a higher pressure load is the weakest point in the hybrid heat exchanger core. The FEM is a more comprehensive means for structural assessment than the ASME codes. This research can provide guidance for structural stress analysis of hybrid heat exchangers
